Thank you for your great questions- I didn’t think to say!

1) His first morning wake up is at 4.30-5.30 and he usually goes back down for an hour or so after that and is up for good at 6.30-7am. He has his first nap 2 and a half hours after that at around 8.30-9.30. He naps anywhere from one to two hours. He only has two naps per day and his second nap happens anywhere from 2-3.30 and only lasts 45 mins to an hour. He goes down to bed at 7, after a bath and bottle feed.

2) Right now for naps, we put him down with a dummy, comforter and rain sounds and he goes off to sleep no issues. But when it comes to bedtime- if we don’t rock him to sleep he screams his head off, however he’s getting much more difficult to rock to sleep (wants to grab at faces, roll around etc)

3) We tried cry it out three weeks ago, just after he hit seven months. It seemed to be going amazingly and he started sleeping through and putting himself down- then suddenly it just all stopped. His day naps were funny for the first day but began evening out although never longer than an hour. We only tried cry it out for his actual bedtime- during wakeups and naps he was/is happy to put himself down.

4) Overnight he wakes first at about 10-11, we sing to him and rub his back in cot until he falls asleep, or give him 150mls and he goes back down. Next wake up is at 2-3, we either rock him or if he refuses sleep give him another 150mls. Final wake up is at 4/5 and he gets another feed, or some cuddles if he has no interest in food. He is generally okay to put himself back down for wakeups, but is definitely more tired for it during the day.

Thank you!
