Baby still waking multiple times a night

We recently sleep trained using just chill baby sleep in room settling methods - we just shush him to sleep and occasionally pat his bum. Have been doing for about two weeks now and while we can now put him in his cot awake where we used to have to rock or feed to sleep, he is still waking about 4 or 5 times a night and needs to be resettled by patting and shushing, otherwise he stands straight up and cries. When does it get better 😭 I thought sleep training him would help or atleast change the wake ups to 1 or 2. Honestly can’t do 4/5/6 wake ups a night anymore 😭😭 I’m not expecting him to sleep through but less wake ups would be amazing

Hi my daughter was the exact same theres a white noise sound on youtube called baby shh sound that is white noise and shushing it helped a lot now she only wakes once for a feed 🙂

Hi 🖐 probably a silly question, but are they eating enough before they go to sleep? We found that he was waking for more food so he now has more in the day and still a bottle before bed and he'll sleep through

Sleep training unfortunately doesn’t help with night wakes for the most part. How much sleep are they getting in a 24 hour period? Could their naps be too long so they’re not tired enough to sleep through the night (as in longer stretches, not from bed to wake)

Or not napping enough during the day and over tired at night

funny you mention that cos this is something I’m trialing today. Has nearly 3 hours sleep instead of 2 and gonna see how it impacts

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks.

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
