Night times

My lb is 7months and sleeps an easy 3hrs when he first goes down around 7:30 and self settles for this pretty easy. He always wakes for a bottle around 10:30 - 11 I’m finding after this it’s so hard to get him to settle back in his cot! Just wakes constantly.. sometimes just after 10mins - maximum 1 hour and won’t self settle back off usually resulting in me giving up after multiple failed attempts and us co sleeping. I’m now back at work and I really wanna get him back into his cot as I struggle to have a good nights sleep with him in with me. It’s almost like he knows this is the time I go to bed so refuses to settle unless he’s with me. He always used to be a good cot sleeper but since teething has hit it’s all gone to pot! (We’re now over this) but will not stay in his cot! Any advice I’d be so grateful - super tired mama here 😴

What's the routine?

3 naps a day, usually has 2.5 hour wake windows xx

Are all the wake windows 2.5 hours? You want to aim for the shortest one first thing, getting longer as the day goes on. Longest before bed.

Yeah roughly has about the same wake windows I just find that’s when he’s ready for a nap. Do you reckon I should extend last one to 3hrs?

I would definitely give it a try.

I would probably start trying to extend wake windows or potentially push bedtime to 8-8:30
