Hi J., as a mum of a 7mth old and an energetic toddler i can totally sympathise. I gave myself such a hard time trying to settle my youngest into a sleep routine,(she used to wake 4 times a night for a feed religiously) the advice i would give is to relax,(easy to say i know) babies naturally change their sleep and feeding patterns as their bodies needs change. he may be having a growth spurt, starting to teeth, coming down with a cold, getting ready for weaning. Also i started 'dream feeding' my daughter a bottle of formula before i went to bed this made a huge difference, the formula stays in their system longer so they are fuller for longer. I personally wouldnt 'startle' a child awake, maybe other mums on this sight can advise on that.
Is there someone who could take over from you to give you a rest for a night? Its so much easier to deal with these trials when youve had a good nights sleep!
I hope this phase doesnt last long for you!
