DS has recently changed his sleep pattern and I feel like I'm going crazy. He used to be like clock work , asleep by 930 pm , last bottle between 1030 and 1100 then right back to sleep ( sometimes he skips this ) , then he will sleep until between 7-8 am. So an average night of sleep is 10 hours for him with about 2 hours of naps during the day.
That has been his routine for at least 6 months . Then comes summer time , less dark hours in the day , while he still usually is asleep by 930-10 and usually takes his last bottle them goes right back to sleep , he is awake by 545-630 every day. And he's not making up for it by napping any more than his usual 2 hours. This makes for a cranky baby by 445-530 pm every day and a mama who desperately needs more than 5-6 hours of sleep to accomplish our busy days.
Things that have changed or happend in the last 6 weeks :
Three new teeth
Less dark hours
One inch growth spurt
I moved out of his bedroom and into my own
Allergies
I'm at a loss on how he functions all day since he is constantly moving his entire body . I'm exhausted and can not wait for this to resolve. He will be 15 months on the 4th of July.
Side note that may be helpful to your replies :
He has special needs and lots of delays , does not sit , stand , crawl , walk , hold his own bottle , self feed , he can roll onto his belly if the angle is right , he has very little self soothing capabilities , he has visual impairments and is non verbal aside from squeals and giggles and the oooooo sound.
Any advice on helping his sleep patterns go back to normal and a healthy amount of sleep for us both ? And have you experienced a change in sleep around this age ? Thank you mama's !

I understand. I just mean that I don't have any advice to offer. I have coslep with all of my kids so I don't have any experience with anything else.
Quoting Charliesmommy11:
We coslept when he was younger , but he is a very light sleeper so in the end it was better for us to get him into his own bed . Now he hardly stays asleep for longer than 10 minutes if you hold him to go to sleep , once the eyes close and the boy goes limp you have like 5 minutes to get him in his bed lol
Quoting SlapItHigh:That's a lot of change in a short period for a 15 month old! We cosleep so I don't have any advice.
