So my newly turned 6 month old is giving us such a hard time going down to sleep for the night. Ever since her 4 month sleep regression was over she had been sleeping through the night. But the past 3 nights have been a nightmare. I am tired and so is my bf. We have tried so many things, she will fall asleep at the breast but when we change her into her crib she gives us such a hard time. And just to preface she’s been sleeping in her crib (in our room) since she was about 2-3 months old. Idk what to do at this point. We literally spend 1-1 1/2 hrs to put her down to sleep and then she’s up again at midnight and then again at 2. Two nights in a row she was up like every 20-30 mins in between and the hour. Help! Because this is honestly driving me crazy!

How many naps does she take during the day?

We found that we had to change her bedtime routine at this stage. We used to do bath, lotion/massage, pajamas, sleep sack, bottle and then bed, but we found that from when she got out of the bath until she went to bed she was just crying non stop. She then started waking constantly throughout the night so we've changed it so the bath is like 2 hours before bed and then we play until about 20 minutes before bed and then we do lotion/massage, pajamas, sleep sack, bottle, book and songs and then bed. She's gone back to sleeping through the night since we changed. Something about having the bath as the start of her routine was making her overtired until bedtime. We also brought her bedtime forward to 7pm 😊

she’s still taking around 2-3 naps

This same thing happening with my 6 month old!

I’ve been dealing with the exact same thing for the past two months now, I feel like a dead woman walking, I don’t know what else to do other than let her cry and reassure but also trying not to pick her up. Last night after thirty mins of crying I managed to soothe her by patting her and rubbing her back, but I think my soul was destroyed by the end of it, I’m exhausted 😩

My 6 mo old doesn’t have trouble falling asleep, but staying asleep. And I’ve been dead for weeks!! Waking up 2-3x a night.. my other kids were sleeping through the night at 3-4 months.
