Hi everyone, I don’t suppose anyone else is having a 6 month sleep regression? Goodness me, we’re up every single hour. I’ve got majorly eye burn, I’m so so tired.
Anyone else? Or is it just my gorgeous little poppet?

Hahaha yes! I woke up just now because baby was awake and I was so tired I thought it was morning. It had been an hour since baby last woke 😂🙈

Currently awake because of this (I think). Usually a fine sleeper and for the last three days has been up a lot, talking, maybe a little cry, hard to put back to sleep. I’m knackered. Haha I don’t know how to stop this from becoming a habit though

Yes yes yes. I saw every half an hour one night. Everyone told me to put my little girl in her own room and although she's past 6 months I was sooooo reluctant. But in the end anything was worth a shot 😂 so I did it and she's now only waking up about 3 times a night! Just thought I'd share incase it's something you'd be comfortable trying xx

Was up 5 times last nite and then up and awake at 5, so tired!! He normally goes down by 7 and has one feed then up at 6. He did have a tooth break through a few days ago so not sure if it's causing him pain. All I know is my eyes are stinging 🥱 still loved seeing his smile this morning though 😍

Every damn night for the past two weeks and I'm starting to feel I'll! 😴😴

Since the last week or so I feel like we’re in some sort of regression too. My son is up every two hours to feed, I’m breastfeeding him but we also combi feed so I’ve tried a bottle at bedtime to see if he goes longer but that doesn’t seem to make a difference right now. I’m hoping that the weaning may help, slightly concerned the night breastfeeds will become a habit.

My boy slept 8 hours straight from 5 weeks old to 5months. Now he’s up every hour unless I move him into bed with us. I didn’t want to do this but think it’s the only way we get sleep. He would happily sleep attached to the boob for hours - think he just wants comfort! 😴

Mine seems to be aswell, 5 times we were up last night, usually she would go down about 8pm then wake at 3am feed then back to sleep till around 7/8ish now it’s all over the place 😩

🙋♀️ us too! LO is transitioning to 3 naps and sometimes struggling so I’m wondering if it’s related.

This was also the case for us for the last three/four weeks. Must be some kind of sleep regression phase. I would be woken up every hour, sometimes more often. I felt like we were back at the newborn stage. It was a really tough period but it did pass. We are back to 3 wakings a night (our boy never slept through the night) which for me is luxury hahaha. Hang in there, it is only a phase.

Omg yes! He’s awake every few hours atm and gained a feed!

Please not a 6 month sleep regression, we’re still recovering from the 4 month regression and just out of leap 5 at almost 6 months 😫

I’ve never been relieved to relate to something! My 6.5 month old was sleeping 8-9 hour stretches and has been up almost every hour for the last 3 weeks!!! She is inconsolable unless I feed her. I am hanging on my a thread. Hang in there mommas!!! Riding out this rough wave with everyone! 😅😴

We had 60 nights (yes I counted) of Leap 4 which only ended 3 weeks ago and then last 5 nights back to hourly wakings. Save me!! I thought it was onwards and upwards after leap 4 😪

Yupp! Tried her in her own bed to see if that would help and it worked for one night 😩 last night was every 2 hours and half an hour to get her back to sleep 😩😩😩

So my little one is 6months on the 11th but has been fighting afternoon naps and is so overtired by bedtime. I'm not sure if it's this 6months regression or just overtired because I've kept her up too long but she wakes every 45mins after I put her to sleep. I feed to sleep and transfer her to her bed but I've been doing that from day one and it's gotten really bad this week. She'd usually sleep well til 1ish then feed. In the 4month regression she'd go down for 6ish and wake at 10 then would be hourly after 12. Never had this in the evening?!! I've brought her into bed with me earlier than I usually would just for us to get sleep. I don't mind bed sharing for the last half of the night but to do it from the beginning makes it very uncomfortable! Anyway just wanted to ask if anyone experienced what I've mentioned before baby even turned 6months? X

We moved our baby girl into her own room last week and has since slept better. She’s also started self settling and getting off to naps easier and quicker. We’ve even had a couple of 3.5hour stints!! We think our little one was a bit too cramped in the “next to me crib” (she likes to sleep with her arms out to the side and they kept whacking the sides when she tried so would often wake) also, when she was moving and doing the mermaid 😂 (bringing her legs up and bashing them down) the crib moved a bit so we think it was combination. But since moving her, she’s got so much more room. Might be worth a shot at moving them into their own room to see if your babies are struggling for space too? Xxx
