My happy, almost never fussy 6 mo. old guy seems to have disappeared over the past few days.
He started sleeping bad about a month ago and now he is up every hour at night. We are lucky if he sleeps a solid two hour stretch. On top of that he is only getting around 9 hours of sleep overnight and is fighting naps like crazy. When he does take a nap, he starts displaying sleepy signs within 30 min of being up.
Over the last handful of days he will only nurse for 2-3 minutes, I am lucky if I can get 5 minutes. When I try to put him back on the breast he unlatches at 2 minutes and just screams at me.
He is so tired and so unhappy and I don't know what to do. I am terrified of weight loss as he is only 9th percentile. I don't want our breastfeeding to end (I had to EP for first 4 months) but I am exhausted fighting with him and only getting sleep in 30 min increments.
TIA for any advice!
