What does the schedule for the day look like? Are there typical nap times, how long are they, when is bedtime etc?
@Lianne he has 1-2 naps first one is between 11-12 and he sleeps for 2 hours some days he might take a nap from 4-5 sometimes 5:30 bedtime is 8:30/9/9:30 depending on naps wakes up normally at 8 but recently he has not been sleeping til 10pm to midnight and wakes up about 7:30 but also wakes up multiple times a night for 10+ minutes. Last night he was up from 2-3:30 and nothing would help him go to bed I bf and he would just cry when I tired
My baby just throught for the same. I did so many things and finally my baby is sleeping from 7:30 to 7:00 sometimes 7:30 I have a bed routine: 6:20 -6:30 Bath 6:40 I brush his teeth, I use a natural oil if he is teething and give him a massage on his feet. It helps a lot with his discomfort for that you can read about it. 6:50 I massage his body really quick and pajamas on after that. 7:00 Milk 7:20 I Read a book 7:30 I leave him on his crib with a dark room and a white sound You will overcome that!!
I went through this for a year and 4 months my daughter would only sleep on me while she was nursing and while I was patting her back and anytime I would stop throughout the night she’d wake up (I legit only got about 3 hours a sleep a night) I tried sleep trying for months I felt like I tried everything in the book. I obviously couldn’t keep going getting sleep like that it was seriously dangerous I eventually had to do the crying out method and I’m not gonna lie it was bad she would cry for an hour sometimes more but it was my last resort I tried everything else but two weeks of that she now sleeps through the night and she’s still a happy girl. She doesn’t have abandonment issues or anything she’s actually happy in her crib now if you let her she’ll stay in there for an hour after wakes up. I know crying it out is looked down upon but it’s the only thing that worked for me. My father in law gave me so much crap about it but it was my saving grace.
Omg I’m going through this same thing right now. She will be up for three plus hrs at night sometimes. Sometimes she’ll sleep through the night. I’ve been doing the pick up put down method for a few months and naps go great. It’s the middle of the night wakings that are killing us. I think it’s just a phase though. You’re not alone!
