I think our 6.5 month old is going through something because it’s so hard getting her to sleep at the moment. Takes about 2 hours of screaming and it’s awful. I’m curious to know what you all do? Any tips? Do you go to bed at the same time or set up a camera and sit downstairs for a bit?

Hello! For me, routine was the key!
Nap & bedtime always and the same time. He is having good awake window, we go out. Then bath and getting ready for bedtime. I let him play in his cot until the time in on, then feeding and he is going straight to sleep. But I know all babies are differents but this can be one option to try 🤞🏽

At around the 6 month mark our LG went back to waking up every hour or two (in her cot in our bedroom). So I carried on breastfeeding her to sleep but started bed sharing and she has slept so much better since. She's regularly doing 7 hours then a feed, then another 3 hours. It means me going to bed at the same time as her, but I get some lovely reading done on my Kindle 🥰
She still stirs and sometimes cries, but as soon as I hold her hand or give her a little cuddle, she settles right back to sleep. I always said I wouldn't bed share, but all three of us are getting so much sleep now that we wish we'd just have done it from the start 😂🥰

I bed share, (there are ways to do it safely) - the best parenting decision I ever made!! There has been one single night since she was about 4 weeks old that I’ve had broken sleep. We’re coping so well because of it. Happy co-sleeper on Instagram has some really good tips x
