Wren is now off iron and back on Zantac. He slept very well on the first night post-iron and acceptably on the second. The third night he couldn't stay asleep or even get to sleep which is very unusual for him. He kept waking suddenly and we heart him gulping and making wheezy noises in his throat.
I put him back on Zantac 24 hours ago and he slept much better last night (4 hrs, 3 hrs, 1 hr). It is still not long enough but I think once we iron out any underlying problems we can work with setting up a better sleep routine and associations.
I am still reluctant to put him to bed at 8pm until he sleeps reliably for 4 hours at a time. Otherwise I miss out on his long sleep and last week was becoming completely completely unhinged. Some nights I wouldn't get more than 90 minutes at a stretch and started getting insomnia between his night-naps. This wasn't working.
So, we are back to a later bedtime with a routine, zantac, no iron and need lots of good luck.
