A few weeks ago, Axel started waking more and more during the night... It started when he started teething and became a bad habit... he ended up waking 1-2hrly for feeding... after 3 weeks I was physically and mentally exhausted, so Tuesday night we started to train him...
I fed him as normal when he woke at 11.30pm and put him back to bed... then when he woke at 1.30am, Ian got up to him, and just cuddled him back to sleep... when he woke at 3.20am I fed him as per normal and put him back to bed, then at 4.30am when he woke, we just bought him into bed with us, as we had both agreed before starting this that we were tackling 1 wake up per night.
The second night he didn't wake at 11.30pm and instead slept through till 2.20am, at which stage Ian got up to him, and put him back to sleep, where he stayed till 4.20am!! then I fed him, and put him back to bed... he woke again at 5.45am and joined us in bed...
last night {night 3} and he was wrapped and put to sleep in his pram at trivia night {more on that another day}.. transferred to the car and then into his bed later. Woke at 12 for a feed... the slept till 4.30am fed, and back to sleep till 6.30...
So after 3 nights, I am feeling very refreshed but also very positive that we will beat the little bugger at his game
