10 month old sleep suddenly gone to pot
​
Our 10-month-old suddenly has started waking up 3-5 times a night when previously he was only waking once. Looking for management/schedule advice.
Not looking to sleep train with a method that involves leaving baby to cry. There’s no point anyway as he’s sick every 2 weeks from daycare.
Background:
He is and has always been on the lower end of sleep needs (about 12.5hrs of sleep in 24hrs)
Daycare goes by cues and won’t follow schedule
Sleep at daycare varies from 1.5hrs-2.5hrs
Used to self-settle (no crying method, took months) but that stopped when he started daycare (sickness)
Has been pulling up to stand and crawling for 3 months now so it’s not that
Has just started pointing and waving, loads of babbling
Separation anxiety is strong.
Schedule at home:
Wake 6.30am
Bedtime 7.45pm
Total nap 2hrs
Wake windows 3.25/3.75/4.25
What can we optimise without sleep training?
Sleep at 9 months (when healthy) vs now (when healthy)
Thanks for your help!
