5 month old sleep!

Someone please tell me their baby isn’t yet sleeping through the night 🤣 make me feel like I’m not still the only one up twice a night!! So disheartening when you hear of babies younger & sleeping through! 😅

My LO has just turned 5 months and she doesn’t sleep through the night. She done it once at 3 months and never again 😂

Mine has never slept through the night. I felt we were getting close as he was waking for a bottle at 4.30/5am then back to sleep til 8 but this last week it’s been getting earlier and earlier again. Last night he woke for his bottle at 2.30 and then was up at 6. 😴😴😴😴😴

Same, has always been up 1-2 times every night! 😴 I don’t think it will be changing any time soon either 😂😂

My LG still wakes twice a night. It's completely normal! My first little girl didn't sleep through until about 9 months and some babies take longer! I see so many mums thinking their babies are broken when it's developmentally normal! You got this momma ❤️

Mine wakes once a night for a bottle. He'll never sleep through, he's too hungry x

My baby still wakes like five times sometimes more 😂 he’s never slept through. He’s 5 months next week.

My little girl wakes up twice a night for feeds and sometimes again for a cuddle and that’s her improved massively from wakening every 1-2 hours 🙈🤣. Don’t think I get more than 3-4 hours sleep by the time I resettle her! Longing for the days 🤞🏻

Mine has never slept through yet 🥲🥲

Avatar

We're still waking up 2 or 3 times! I'm used to it now 🥲

Avatar

My baby is really hit and miss. Last night he only woke up twice but the night before he was up every hour. He’s never slept through or been up less than twice🫠

Avatar

4-5 wake ups a night every night no matter what we do

Avatar

Mine wakes up every 2 hours 😴😴 she's 5 months this week

Avatar

Mine is up every 2 hours for a feed now at 5 months and I’m a zombie

Avatar

My little one is just over 5 months, still doesn’t sleep through the night and i’m up 2-4 times a night. (EBF) x

Avatar

No where near sleeping through! 3rd baby.. we have at least 5 wakes!
my 3 year old still doesn’t either so I accept my children do not sleep! 🤪

Avatar

Nope - still up every 1-3 hours overnight for feeds, occasionally get a 4 hour stretch at some point

Avatar

She "sleeps through" as far as 0 feeds but shes very much in the regression so wakes multiple times still, sometimes just for dummy and sometimes having a chat at 2am 🙈😅

Avatar

Twice a night sounds like a dream! Mine wakes up 4-5 times

Avatar

Until a week ago my LO was waking up 2/3 times a night but has suddenly started sleeping through for 7-8 hours, she’s a little bit older than yours so fingers crossed your baby might surprise you too 🤞🏻☺️

Avatar

Wakes up 5/6/7 times a night, refuses to go down unless held to sleep, at my wits end ☹️

Avatar

We average anywhere between 5-9 wake up’s a night at the moment 😖 every 2 hours for feeds plus random screaming episodes!

Avatar

Mine wakes up about 4 times a night and wants a feed every time!!

Avatar

4 and a half months, was sleeping through but now waking twice and taking a lonnnng time to settle back down. Might be the progression. Might be the weather. But I think one thing we can expect with these babies is change 😅

Avatar

Gosh no! Still feeds twice then I have to pop in a few times to replace his dummy if he wakes up wanting it. Nowhere near sleeping through 😂

Avatar

My lo was down to once a night for weeks! And now all of this week it’s been back to two 🤷‍♀️

Avatar

Mine waked up 3-4 times every night and she is week above 5 months

Avatar

Oh my god I’d kill for my baby to consistently only wake up twice a night. Last night was a good night because it was only 3 times…

Avatar

I prefer my girl waking at night only because she is breastfed and I can feed and sleep at the same time.

Avatar

My baby is almost 6 months and she is sleeping through the night! 8 to 6, I practiced independent sleeping and it was game changer ! DM if you want some tips

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
