Help needed!
Baby is 5 months old. He's aways woke multiple times throughout the night to be breastfed. However, in the last month or so, he's been doing split nights - goes down about 7pm has a good long stint of 5/6 hours then wakes for 1-2 hours where he starts off happy and wide awake playing to then gets ancy after a while, needing rocking to sleep (I know, I know, independent sleep will help this!).
We have a consistent bedtime routine, do all the right things in the night with dim lights etc. Have tried different nap schedules in the day (limiting it to 2.5 hours, having more sleep 3.5/4 hours, long wake periods etc.), nothing seems to be making a difference.
Have read so many threads on this and trying to take on various advice but so far nothing has worked! Maybe just a case of riding it out for the next 3-5 years 🫠
