Following! We are in the same boat - she went from sleeping all night in her own room, to waking up multiple times a night, and eventually only falling asleep in my hands in our bed.

Same here. Just started doing it this week. Although she has had a bit of a virus too but doesn’t seem bothered by this at all. She’s waking up what feels every half an hour and will settle with a dummy but then wake up again. She is nearly crawling though so think it is the regression for us. Don’t think there’s anything we can do to help until they are over this leap - I’m surviving on a few hours sleep a day and so much caffeine 🥱🥱🥱

that's exactly the same my daughter would sleep through befor the regressions but then got back to 4/5am wake ups which I could cope but now we wake up 1/2am then 3/4am then 5am n finally 730/8am. I've tried tiring her out. I've tried having quieter days. I've tried feeding her more in the day. I've tried letting her self sooth to see if she will settle and this works for an hour per say. The only thing that settles her is a bottle yet If I feed her up in the day too much she is up more xx

I’m going through the same, he wakes every 2 hours during the night and has been the same for last 2 months. I EBF so some wakes are probably comfort. I have wondered if capping naps might help, as he is a good napper.

A friend of mine went through the same scenario and what eventually solved it was letting the baby cry it out on their own. So many people swear by this method and say you only need to endure the first few times and then baby sleeps well. I can't bring myself to do it though for better or for worse

Mine did this at around 9.5 months. Lasted 10 days and he sorted himself back out. I didn’t have to do anything, it was just a phase

I'm currently going through this. I thought the 4 month regression was bad because for me it was 3 months of waking every 1 1/2-3 hours but this time my girl is up every 40 minutes at the start of the night and by 2am just won't settle unless in my arms or next to me. Riding it out and hoping it's shorter than the last regression 😴

my baby hardly naps during the day and I still get woken up every 2 hours and have done this whole time she’s nearly 10 months 😴😴😴

Definitely be consistent with getting them back to sleep.. keep them in cot, keep it dark, no distractions, white noise etc. my little man had a few nights of being awake for an hour and half at a time and I would sit next to his cot pat his bum, shhhhh and rub his back. Eventually he would go back to sleep.

He know puts himself back to sleep *touch wood* after waking. Occasionally I go in and lay in back down or give him back his muslin to hold and he goes back off in a few minutes.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

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
