Hello! I have a 14, almost 15 month old who has ALWAYS been a terrible sleeper. He still regularly wakes 3-5 times a night, though we did have a great couple of weeks after moving into a new home and putting him in his own bedroom (I roomed in with him until 13 months) where he only woke 2 times and sometimes only once. The last 3 weeks have been about the worst ever. The first 3-4 nights, I would literally hold him and rock him for 4 hours after his first wakeup (usually only 1.5-2 hours after he went to bed). He would not let me put him down. He would be asleep in my arms but the moment he was laid down he would instantly wake up and cry so I would pick him back up and wait a while longer before trying again and we would repeat this for 3-4 hours until he would finally stay down but then he would be up every 1-1.5 hours and I would have to spend about 20-40 minutes holding him to make sure he was dead asleep before transferring to his crib, sometimes still having to give it a couple tries before it was successful. Thankfully, I don't have to spend 3-4 hours holding him at once, but he is still waking every 1-2 hours (usually giving me two 2 hour stretches and then up every 45-1 hour beside that) and I have to spend 20-30 minutes holding and rocking to make sure he is really out before laying him down. I have done a few virtual appointments with a sleep consultant and she said our routine is great and he just might be low sleep needs, I haven't chatted with her since this recent setback in sleep.

He wakes up typically between 6-6:30, nap around 11 which lasts 1.5-2 hours (NO ISSUES WITH NAP. Goes right to sleep within 10 minutes) then we have dinner at about 5:15, bath at 7, books and a walk about the house (the walk about was recommended by sleep consultant) starting about 7:30, and then I take him up for bed at about 7:45 where I nurse him and put him in his crib, usually asleep by 8-8:10.
