If his tummy is not full he will do that before nap male sure he take his milk or solid properly

My boy was the same. When he was 10 months old he still had 10 breastfeeds. Always was a light sleeper and hardly had naps. But he was a happy chappy. He’s 13 yrs old now and it has changed
It’s ok, you don’t do anything wrong !

Oo if you\’re in Brisbane check out The possums online for mothers and babies. As far as I know they are not into cc and very much into mums and babies as a unit. Worth a look into

Is he or she on solids. Getting enough to eat in day?

if he is waking and feeding maybe he is hungry, Have you started solid foods yet?

My son was similar & I persisted & kept thinking he would grow out of it. He didn’t I ended up at Tweddle (sleep school in Vic) & was dreading it as I too am against controlled crying. I was however really surprised when I went as they don’t recommend that anymore. They use the responsive settling technique where you are sitting next to the cot patting & sshing, then you gradually move away from the cot. I spent the 4 day stay next to the cot as I didn’t want to cause too much distress too early & then when I got home I followed the same routine & after a couple of days at home I was able to put him in the cot & walk out of the room

I hope you found a suggestion that really worked for you.

If he’s not already, he might need to be starting on solids. He may be hungry.

What did you end up doing?

How did you go with your baby?

Rach has a long list of helpful tips

I’d give him a bigger feed of solids for dinner and a long feed before bed to fill his tummy up as much as possible. I hope things have improved for you by now

Nothin worse than no sleep. U poor thing

Offering cooled boiled water
Putting them on their backs and massaging their tummies or moving their legs in a bicycling motion seemed to stop the crying, if only for a while.
Lots of windy babies respond to motion of some sort. You could try walking up and down the stairs, or gently rocking or jiggling him.
Putting in the pram or sling, and going for a walk, or taking them for a drive in the car is a solution that works for lots of parents.
Certain noises are said to help, usually those that emulate the conditions of the womb, so, the rhythmic churning of a washing machine, a ticking clock, or specifically recorded ‘womb music’. And music generally can have a soothing effect – one survey actually found Brahms and Bach to be particularly effective!
You mentioned you are breastfeeding, bear in mind the theory that your baby may be sensitive to something in your diet – wheat, dairy, caffeine, citrus fruits, alcohol and strong veg such as cauliflower, are said to be likely culprits. You could try keeping a food diary and cutting things out in turn to see if there’s any improvement.
Herbal remedies might be worth a try and as they’re natural and harmless, you’ve nothing to lose by trying. Camomile, fennel and peppermint teas, available from reputable health food shops or big chemists, are recommended for colic. Offer one teaspoon to baby on a teaspoon or diluted in a bottle of water, or drink a cup yourself if breastfeeding. Another ‘alternative’ treatment for crying babies is cranial osteopathy, which it’s said can help re-shape and reduce pressure on the skull. There’s no real evidence that it works and you’ll have to go private if you want to try it as it’s not available on the NHS.

Try expressing your milk and giving it to him in a bottle

try keeping him awake longer during the day time.
Make sure his warm and had enough to eat..

Try keeping him awake at his last catnap before bed??

My 6 mo is also doing this, it is very frustrating, maybe teething or too hot/cold? We also think at the moment its the change in season, instead of sleeping in singlets and being a little more free, now shes wrapped up to keep warm and no fan which is constant noise etc anymore…

This happend to me maybe your babys not getting enough milk. Give him a top feed of formula at bedtime. Might see him through. Worked with my son.
