Nighttime advice?
My little man is now 5 1/2 weeks old he goes to bed at 8 (night time routine starts at 7) with bath bottle story then bed, he goes down beautifully sleeps through has a dream feed between 10-11 and then sleeps till 3-4 for a feed. He then used to go back down and sleep till 7-8.
Problem is since xmas he wont go back down hes wide awake and wants to play, he cries if we put him down waves his arms around in his basket and in mummy or daddys arms and just wont settle if he does sleep it isnt for more than an hour then he cries again.
Tonight were going to try swaddling as it may be waving his arms around waking him but I know hes a bit old to start this and im not certain it will work.
Does anyone have any ideas? He cant do this when my hubby goes back to work or he will be a dead man walking
Many thanks
