Ladies I am going crazy.

Beautiful LO used to sleep 4 hours plus four hours at night (in my bed). Naps could also be up to 4 hours (in his pram, pre-covid, when we used to go out every day).

Now LO is 3.5 months (4 at the end of April) and mostly sleeping in his co-sleeper crib. But he is sleeping much worse. For the past 2/3 weeks his naps are 45 mins. At night I was lucky to get 4 hours for the first stretch of sleep followed by hourly wakings. Now, for the past week, he is waking. up. literally. EVERY. hour.

Worse still, he only sleeps with my nipple in his mouth and totally rejects the pacifier. So I need to ‘feed’ him back to sleep every hour.

How can I fix this?

I’ve tried the famous putting him to bed ‘drowsy but awake’ technique to ZERO effect other than baby starting to hate his crib. I’m not trying that again until he is older and over this total no-sleep phase.

Heeeeelp!!! Thanks mamas xx
