Hey there.
My baby, william, is 5 months next week, and he used to be great. He would play happily on his playmat, he would sleep well during the night and only wake once for a feed. He would sleep from 9pm til 2am, wake for a feed, then sleep throught il 7am. He was so good, until he hit 4 months. Now he is a little menace :P
He cries and cries until I pick him up, but as soon as I put him down again, he will scream the house down. Many people said I have spoilt him, but I really dont understand how, as ive never been the one to run to him and pick him up, as soon as he makes a noise.
He will cry and cry all day long unless i hold him constantly, and at his age, I thought he would be getting a lot better. Things just seem to be getting harder.
He has also fallen into a terrible sleep routine. He now wakes 3-4 times a night, and wont go back asleep until I give him a bottle. He wont settle for a dummy, or some music, its just cry cry cry, til I eventually have to give him another bottle. He goes to bed at 9pm, and wakes at 1am, then 3am, then 5am...Its very tyring on us, as my husband gets up for work at 5.30am.
Doc said his teeth are there,but not cutting yet, so it shouldnt be that hes teething thats upsetting him...and she ruled out any sickness or illnesses...
I just dont know what to do. I thought things would start to get a little easier by 5 months, but its just getting harder. Cause he refuses to sleep well, and he screams and cries non stop all day, unless I hold him constantly.
