My 7 month old recently will not sleep in her own bed. She still sleeps in our room in a Snuzbaskit, but spends most of the night in our bed co-sleeping as it seems to be the only way I get any sleep currently. At one point she was doing quite good stretches in the night around 4 hours ect. But she seems to be going no more then 40 minutes at a time currently.š Is anyone else experiencing this at all? I know she does have her first tooth cutting through however when she gets put into our bed she tends to go straight back to sleep so don't think that's the issueš¤£

I literally could have written thisā¦.. my 7 month old little girl will no longer sleep in her crib longer than about 20-30 minutes and is sleeping with us at the moment as itās the ONLY way to get any sleep at all!!
So followingā¦
@Jessica I'm not sure if it's a regression or something, I just don't know. She used to sleep decent stretches, but she just doesn't currently unless she's in our bedš

Same she used to sleep in her next to me all night with a couple of wakings but sheād still be in her crib. Now she SCREAMS if she wakes up and realises sheās in there (which is every 20 minutes). Iām a very tired mum right now so I feel for you too! Sleeping in the cuddle curl position all night is not comfy haha

Does she want more space? Have you tried a cot?

Iād love to know and hope that this gets better because although I love her in my bed it still scares me and makes me sooo anxious
Weāre having to swap our mattress too because we have a memory foam one which isnāt safeā¦. So having to take my mums mattress from her spare room šš
@Charley That's actually a really good point! No we haven't tried a cot as we only have a 2 bedroom house and my toddler is in her own room, eventually there going to share but my toddler sleeps through the night, so didn't want to put my youngest in with her yet as she's awake constantly at the moment so don't want to wake my toddler up. But I didn't think of this!
@Charley Thank you so much for this reply! You've been a lifesaver. This was the problem! We bought her a cotbed and sleeps in our room and she's been sleeping longer stretches! I've had much better sleep the last few days! I would of never thought about this until you said so thank you so much!šš„°š„ŗ
