1 year old not sleeping through the night and I’m tired

My 11 month old (1 next week) is in an awful sleep habit. He cries really hard and stands at the crib staring at the door as early as 4- 4:30am, I go in and nurse a half hour, then he’s quiet for 15-30 minutes (sometimes asleep, sometimes not) then cries again. I go in and nurse another 30 minutes and then he’s when I leave the room it seems he’s fully awake and crying. Any suggestions? I’m also going to stop nursing next week.

Sadly it’s normal for them to still wake up at this age. I’m going thru the same thing with my LO who will be 1 on the 29th.

Hey @Jessica I’m so sorry you are struggling right now! The 12 month sleep regression can be the hardest and longest regression for most if not all babies. Weaning that early morning nursing session will help a lot! I would recommend looking into sleep education to help teach him how to sleep as well. It’s a gentle, holistic approach to sleep training, no CIO. Send me a DM and we can chat more if you are interested 😊

Could you bring him into your bed at 4 and breastfeeding laying down so you both get more sleep/ rest.

@Kirsty I was going to recommend the same thing. My 2 1/2 still wakes up some nights at 4am and I’m too tired to transfer him back and then he wakes right back up so I just let him sleep with us until it’s time for him to get up. My LO is developmentally delayed. It’s just not worth the fight anymore

I find that if I put my daughter to bed earlier she doesn’t wake at that time… every baby is different tho. Sorry. I feel you
