Jane I'm really not sure why he won't sleep longer. Last night was 2.5 hr (while DH held him), 2 hr and 1.5 hr. I read your post and tried the double wrap prior to the 1.5 hr sleep but I think a giant poo woke him up. So will try double wrapping again today. He also only has 40 min naps during the day, occasionally doing 2 hr in his swing. So no chance for me to nap during the day (especially with a 2.5 yr old!) so it's really starting to wear me down.

He's BF on demand pretty much 3 hourly to the minute during the day and can take a good hour to 1.5 hrs to feed, though he's starting to feed faster. He's definitely getting enough milk (put on a kilo in 4.5 weeks!) and his silent reflux seems under control with medication. He did do a 5 hr sleep at night about a week ago, so I know he is capable of it.

He's currently in a bassinet but I'm thinking maybe he needs to try the cot. But we're not putting the cot in our room so that means he'd go to the nursery at the opposite end of the house and potentially wake his sister during the night as her room is nearby. But then again she may sleep through it.

He doesn't self settle - we do sleep cues of wrapping, dummy and we pat him to sleep. Usually only takes a short while and he generally spits the dummy out once asleep, so I don't think the lack of dummy in bed wakes him ITMS? Looking at starting self settling this weekend, he's had a cold for nearly two
weeks and I didn't want to start until he was better.
