Help!!! 4 months old wakes every 10min

Hi Everyone,

After reading and researching so much I am hoping to get some advise!

My 4 months old started off so well, sleeping in his cot during the day & night. Achieved stretches of 2-3 hrs at first without waking during the night.

Since he is 8 weeks old it’s completely turned and his sleep has gotten so bad. During the day he is only contact napping on us, we do this to ensure je gets the sleep he needs.

During his naps he wakes frequently and we have to rock or nurse him back to sleep. Same at night, we are able to put him down for 10min and then he suddenly wakes. This pattern continues till I lie and snuggle up next to him.

He is exclusively breastfed and have the feeling he snacks more during the day.

I’d love some advise on how to get longer stretches at night and ideally have him nap on his own.

Currently it’s very demanding as we don’t have any pockets of time where he doesn’t need us.

We have tried to introduce a dummy and pat him to sleep in his cot. It’s worked at times but as he isn’t to keen on the dummy it usually falls out quickly and he wakes.

If we could already get to putting him down in the evening and him not waking up it would help so much. Has anyone been in the same boat and was able to turn it around?

Thank you!!!
