No sleep (EBF baby)

Hi there! I’ve had the same issue with my 5 month old. 😭 She use to sleep 4 hours straight and wake up twice a night. Then sleep regression slapped me right in the face and she’d wake up every hour. It’s been happening for 6 weeks. I went to see my health visitor and she advised to start her on solids last week so I did and it’s made a bit of a difference. I also stuck to a bedtime routine by giving her a bath at 7pm, massage some baby oil onto her skin and put her in her PJ’s. I turn on some white noise and lights off. The last two nights she’s been sleeping through for 2-3 hours so it’s better than before. Maybe try speak to your health visitor about solids. Remember it’s just a phase and their sleeping routine will change x

thank you for your message! It’s so hard isn’t it 😩 my HV mentioned the same about potentially weaning early, but my little girl can’t sit on her own yet, I thought that was a criteria to weaning? 🙈 xxx

I know how you feel. It’s so so hard! And I loveeeee my sleep, I had no idea babies don’t sleep much. 😂 The whole phrase “slept like a baby” is nonsense! 😭😭
Same with my little girl she doesn’t sit by herself yet and needs a lot of support so I ask my husband to help, he holds her and I feed her. It’s a 2 people job until she can go in her chair x

I’m in the exact same situation! Praying that it’s a phase because this mama is tired!!
