He used to sleep through the night. For the past 2 weeks he has been waking every 3 hours. Because I’m sleepy, I put him on the ****** and he goes back to sleep. But I believe it is separation anxiety during bedtime. How can I get him to sleep through the night again?
Thanks!

First make sure his health is good. I was having this issue with my son. We just got back from the doctor and he has an ear infection. Teething can also cause problems with sleep. Could be a growth spurt as well.
If you are sure he is ok and he doesn’t actually need to eat try having someone else go in to get him back to sleep instead. He might be wanting to comfort nurse. He won’t get the same gratification from someone else and might not bother waking up.

He may be teething. Try keeping him in the crib and rubbing his back until he falls asleep. Comfort nursing will be hard to break once it starts.
