Our little man, Logan has just turned 6 weeks. Sleeping has not been great since birth but getting worse this past week.
Firstly, he actually just won't go to sleep and i mean literally!! He might be awake for 5-6 hrs at a stretch during the day. He becomes obviously tired and cranky but nothing will get him to sleep other than the Hug-a Bub sling. breast feeding often won't even work. My problem with the sling is a) I can't have him "on" me 24hrs a day and atm in Melbourne it is just too hot!
Secondly, if I do manage to get him to sleep, he either wakes within 5-10 mins or exactly at the 45min mark (yes I know, an exact sleep cycle!)
We are using an Amby hammock (only marginal success) and at night we are co-sleeping. He does sleep relatively well in the bed with us and is the only reason why I haven't gone insane!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I have read Pinky's books!
