Baby M has generally been a great baby during the night. Yes he woke a lot when he was tiny but he would have is bottle and go back to sleep.
When he was about 4.5 months old he started sleeping through the night - going to bed at 7pm and waking about 5am. I know 5am is early but 10 hours sleep is pretty good!
His napping during the day varies, some days he hardly naps and other days he has longer naps in the day.
2 weeks ago when we had the warm weather Baby M started waking up throughout the night, a few times each night. He would only settled being shushed by one of us. We were knackered so brought him into bed with us a few nights to get some sleep. I know this is a bad idea but when you're exhausted you do anything just to get some sleep!
For the past week he has been waking about 1230-1ish and having a bottle then going back to sleep until 430-5. He has a whole bottle every time.
He still goes to sleep about 7pm.
I know we should try and get him to stay awake later but even when he has stayed awake until 8pm he wakes at the same times.
Is he thirsty because its warmer? Is he going through a growth spurt? Will this last forever?
I have no idea but at the moment I don't know what else to try. We've put blackout blinds up in his room but that doesn't seem to have made much difference.
Has anyone else gone through anything similar? Any Advice??
