Ok I need some serious help!
Ds is 4.5 months. For the first 3 months of his life, he was a great sleeper. Almost immediately gave 3-4 hour stretches and eventually was up to a 7 hour stretch for the first part of the night.
Well, since 3 months, sleep has completely disintegrated! He is now waking every 1.5-2 hours and of course I start back to work now so I am seriously drained!
Some possible factors:
- around that time he grew out of the swaddle (his a&a blankets would wind up like inner tubes around his middle). Since then, I have tried a woombie, halo swaddles and regular sleep sacks but none seem to work. I have a Zipadee-zip on order.
- I started supplementing (and as of this week, nearly 75% of his diet) with formula. I thought formula would help with sleep though since he would be more full. I have tried several brands (including a gentle one as of this weekend) but don't notice a difference with any of them.
He still sleeps in our room in a halo bassinet.
Please please please someone help me get my good sleeper back (read in your most desperate possible voice!).
But for whatever reason he was always fine in the Merlin, we just did lightweight PJs underneath.
