Overtired baby i cant get to sleep. Any ideas?
I'm having so much trouble getting DS to sleep & stay asleep for more than 15-20mins during the day.
Bit of background, DS has reflux but up untill 2months ago when he needed a change of dose, he was sleeping really well, 2-3sleeps of 45mins-2.5hrs during the day & 6pm-6am at night.
Now I'm lucky if I get him down by 8pm & he wakes anywhere from 4am & has started waking once or twice again at night :(. I've tried rocking, patting, walking, dummy, bouncer, swing, bath before bed & baby hammock & nothings working now. Most of the time I spend more time putting him to sleep than what he actually sleeps for! If he feeds to sleep or if I can rock him to sleep he wakes up as soon as I try to put him down.
I even tried the 'save our sleep' routines but DS is one stubborn bub & isn't one to cry himself to sleep, he just screamed the whole time & started scratching his face & head, biting down on his arm & screaming, so I stopped.
He's obviously tired, yawning, rubbing his face & pulling his ears, but as soon as he starts to relax he wakes himself up.
Any ideas? I'll try anything at this point.
