Hi
Private post please?

I’m about to lose the will to live. My youngest will be 9 months by the end of the month. He had a rough start and was really unwell with CMPA (cows milk protein allergy – he is completely dairy free) .. it took from January until mid March to get a diagnosis for him and as soon as we did all his wee issues seemed to resolve themselves..he started sleeping through almost instantly. We have a good bedtime routine where he has dinner between 5-6 a bath about 6.15 and is having a bottle and in bed by 7.30 at the latest. It’s quite a set routine and he’s like clockwork.. tough on me sometimes as I do have an older son so as you can imagine sometimes things happen and I can’t do things by the clock but most nights we manage. So naturally with a 6 year old (who will soon undergo assessment for ASD & ADHD) and a baby plus working full time, I’m already exhausted. My issue is this .. for the last 5/6 weeks maybe even longer, my baby isn’t sleeping great. He’s not teething, we’ve had him at the dentist and there isn’t even the threat of a tooth yet – top or bottom. He’s gumsy and he’s loving it. He just .. wakes up. And cries for a few minutes until I get up, give him his dummy and then he’ll turn his head and go back to sleep. But this goes on .. ALL night. Every night. On Thursday last week I didn’t get even a wink of sleep because it was .. and I kid you not, every 25 minutes. But he still manages to wake as normal in the morning and be happy and bouncy and full of life. But I’m now at a stage I’m not functioning. He’s in nursery today, my eldest is at a club for the school holidays and I’ve taken the day off just to come home and sleep. Someone please tell me why he’s waking up .. he’s not unwell he’s not hungry he’s not teething he’s not too hot he’s not too cold .. I’m not coping
