I’ve seen a lot of people saying their baby wakes up at 7am. My LO wakes up between 8:30-9am.

Also struggling to get all bottles done throughout the day as ...

My LO has always gone into his cot awake and fallen asleep independently or with a little help of a little pat on the bum, he then has woken multiple times in a night. However recently the only way I can get him to sleep is to now cuddle and rock him to sleep. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this just a phase?
