Baby waking

I always boob to sleep. If it's a particularly bad night and I get fed up, my husband puts him in a carrier and carries him around the house until he settles x

I don’t want to keep feeding to sleep. 5 times he was up last night

Each to their own, I simply find it the easiest, quickest and least disruptive to my sleep. I have started to introduce some habit stacking (bum patting) just in case I need it in the future.

As for back pain - floor bed. No hovering over the cot, all settling happens on his bed (or on mine, we always co-sleep part of the night) x

Gosh, that does sound tough!

Do you think there's any particular reason he's waking up more? Maybe he's teething and therefore uncomfortable? Or having a growth spurt?

Or, given that you said you're back to work, do you think he might be reverse cycling his feeds? I remember that happening when I went back to work after my first. It was a bit relentless for a while but then things settled back to normal on their own! X
