I keep seeing posts about babies around 8 weeks sleeping through the night. We’ve tried everything we can think of and our baby still only sleeps in 2 hour blocks 🙄🙄 it’s killing me. Anyone got any tips of things that worked for them?!

Are you breast or bottle feeding?
They generally sleep longer on bottles as it fills them up more than breast milk. So don’t compare bottle to breast.
If you are breastfeeding, make sure baby is getting all the fatty milk which comes down after the initial milk, the fatty milk fills them up. I do one breast, once she comes off I then change her and put her back on the same breast, once she comes off again or is sucking with no swallowing I change to the other breast.
Last night she did 4.5 hours and then 3.5 hours. But the night before she was up every couple so don’t be too hard on yourself.
I exclusively express. Thank you - I would do anything for just one night of more sleep ☹️
did you do anything to get her to go 5 instead of 3? X

Try white noise x

It’s everyone’s own choice but defo co-sleeping it’s been a life saver. When we co sleep she sleeps through 6+ hours but in her own crib she wakes up every 1-3 hours🤦🏻♀️

you gotta do what you gotta do!! 😄
