Baby waking every 45 mins for past 8 weeks

My lo goes down at 7/7.30 ish and wakes maybe twice until 10.30. We then dream feed and he might go until about 2/3 with maybe 1/2 wake ups. After 3am he wakes up a lot! Anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour 🥱 we don’t feed him though, just put his dummy in and settle him back off. He’ll then sleep from probably about 5:6-7/8 soundly I’d say. No advice just same boat with shit sleep 😮‍💨

God this is brutal and I'm sorry you're going through it! My girl is 6.5 months and her sleep has definite gone backwards this past week or so, it's been horrible. At one point she was waking up crying every 30mins, I was on the edge! She's slowly improving but I'm not expecting it to fully settle until she is at least 1

I feel like I could have written this... We've been going through the exact same thing. Probably on week 10 now. Had a glimpse of our old routine (1-2 nightly wake ups) at week 8 then illness struck again. Just did as you said and kept baby up with us on an evening.

I've just paid for the huckleberry premium on Sunday, out of frustration. I didn't want to commit to sleep training and strict schedules with Xmas being round the corner so used the sweet spot feature to track naps today. It's early days but so far resulted in a 7pm - 3.30am block 🙏 fingers crossed for the rest of the night. I will also say that my baby is now cold free and well, so that might also be a factor. Good luck and praying you get some sleep up soon.

My baby has been like this since she was born. No advice sorry, just hang in there, it will improve xx

My baby was doing this, she also always feeds to sleep. I started working on her going to down at bedtime without the boob, I still feed her but put her down before she falls asleep and then rock, sh, play nursery rhymes until she goes. It’s not easy she really protests, sometimes we’re at it for up to an hour (at which point I give up and feed her to sleep). But since we started doing that she has started doing longer stints.

Also, I know this sounds silly but I read a book about how babies understand us and how we need to explain what we need from them. I sat down and looked into her eyes and told her she absolutely could not carry going on the way she was because I was at breaking point and I needed her to sleep blah blah and I know this sounds silly but she slept well that night for the first time in ages and has slept pretty well since 😂 so worth a try xx

I always let my baby sleep on me while we watch tv! I just take her up to bed with me later. It’s starting to become more tricky as she’s more sensitive to noises, so I’ll start trying to put her in the cot in the evening. I love the cuddles personally, and I always feed my babies to sleep. Don’t listen to anyone that tells you it’s a bad habit! Breastmilk has melatonin in to help baby sleep, nature designed it that way and it works! They won’t feed to sleep forever, it’s a short phase, so use the tools you have to hand and don’t feel guilty about it. You only need to make changes if YOU feel like you need to.
