Over it! My child does not sleep!!!
My 14 month old daughter has never been a sleeper, ever since she was born. We have some ok nights, but there are other nights where I just want to scream and cry. I am currently pregnant with my second and attending to her at night when I am exhausted has turned out to be the worst thing ever. I don’t understand how she is not sleeping through the night yet. She has a consistent bedtime routine, she sleeps on a floor bed, she has a bottle before bed. She is fed before, she is entertained and tied out during the day. She is on one nap per day, and still!! Still she won’t sleep through the night. She is not sick either, and her nappies are clean, like what else can I do to get her to sleep the night? I am fed up of having to wake up for work having had little to no sleep, but also have to function all night. Is like I am on a 24/7 rota which is slowly killing me. Any advice on what to try?

Gosh, I’m feeling this a lot, sleep deprecation is no joke, especially when you’re pregnant. Mine is up every couple of hours but he has sleep apnea and congestion caused by large adenoids and glue ear. He’s having an operation on Friday to remove them and once he’s recovered we’ve agreed to go hard on sleep training because I’m done with the sleep deprivation and we have so many bad sleep habits now overnight. Have you tried any sleep training? x
My sons almost 2 and we’re the same.it’s so hard x
My daughter is 14 months and still don’t sleep either 😴🩷
Hey hun 🩷 i have a daughter the same age. How much solid foods is she eating through the day? As soon as I switched our daughter to more solids she seemed to sleep more. Although she drinks and eat a lot for her age, she only gets milk at bedtime. I hope this helps momma. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy too!
Sleep training will resolve this ♥️
My daughter was the same, I put her in with my Son as I am due baby 3.
She kept waking up, I use to offer milk but she was having soo many.
So I started waiting for 3/5 mins if she was still crying I would go in. If I could see she was laying down and on off crying I would leave her for a little longer.
After a couple of weeks it worked and now she sleeps through, sometimes she wakes up crying but normally it’s nothing
But before doing this she was up every couple of hours, I did this method with my Son but he was 8 months old at the time x
Not sleeping through the night is completely normal until age 4.
When does she wake, nap (and for how long) and go to bed? Usually regular wakes overnight is cos the timings aren't quite right.
she wakes up sometimes at 5:30
Or 6 or 6:30 am. She would go to bed depending on what time she woke up from her nap. She sleeps between 1hr and 40min to 2.5hrs. She is on one nap only so her bed time for the passed week and a half has been pretty consistent so she has been going to be at 7:00pm when she wakes up from her nap at 2:30
she eats very well, specially when she is at nursery. She has breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks. I try and give protein and carbs at night to keep her fuller for longer. I have tried everything, feeding her more solids. She doesn’t drink that much formula other than at night or an odd afternoon bottle. She drinks cows milk as a side drink with meals
I hope that all goes well with the surgery. Yes we have tried sleep training when she was younger she just has gone through so many developmental milestones that I feel she has not has the chance to rest
I feel this 😢 I’m pregnant on my second baby too and my little girl doesn’t sleep at all through the night. Im finding it very hard now that I’m pregnant the tiredness is literally taken over me now.
