Please go to sleep - Real Mum story on MoM

7 Comments

I am sitting here in the dark writing this as I listen o my gorgeous 7 month old boy cry his heart out! I can’t stand doing this but don’t know what else to do – it breaks my heart. He goes to sleep fine which is a major improvement since was had a sleep nanny visit 2 months ago but he cannot seem to go long than 3-4 hrs at a time and will not go back to sleep until he has had a feed. He is a big healthy boy and does not need to feed 2-3 times a night for nutrition! Last week he slept from 7pm-5am for the first time so we know he can do it but he won’t on a regular basis. I am lost and need advice – maybe we just need to get the sleep nanny again or got to sleep school. Any comments from people who have been in a similar position and got through it would be great fully received!!

maybe he just wants cuddles. try putting him to bed earlier before he becomes overtired

It’s hard when bub and mum aren’t sleeping.

It took us years to resolve sleep problems. Hope it’s better for you now.

I am thinking he is in pain … my daughter was like this and she had heartburn and reflux. so may I suggest making his milk formula thicker just by adding one extra scoop to it for all his feeds and see how that works.
