My 7 month old DS has been waking heaps through the night. It's really starting to wear me out.

Last night he went to sleep at around 10:15 last night (it's normally around 10:30) and then woke at 11:30, 1:30, 4:30, 6:30 and after that was really restless so I put him in with me.

He is still in our room as I feel a little anxious about putting him in his own room, but my mum thinks that it will help him sleep better. I don't know, but I have this silly fear that someone will break into the house and I won't hear them as his room is the first room you would walk into from the lounge room and ours is up the hall (about 2 metres from DS room).

DS started sleeping through at around 14 weeks old and I think this was because I was giving him a bottle once a day. I then cut out the bottle for certain reasons and when we moved he started waking. And has been waking since 3 months later.I find myself falling asleep sitting up with him and my shoulders are killing me. I have hardly any energy. It also might be taking its toll as I just had my period so that would take a lot of energy.

Sorry guys, just needing to talk about it.

It seemed as though formula helped him sleep better, I guess it takes longer to digest. I tried to give him a bottle on and off a few times the last few months and he's just not interested. He tries to drink it the way we do, ie. like a cup. Takes a sip and pushes it away, and if I let him drink it out of a sippy cup it would take forever. I have tried different teats, there is one he doesn't mind and he attaches to it for about 5 minutes but only drinks 100mls and pushes it away then won't go back on.
