EBF mum’s please tell me this gets better?! 😂
My boy slept through the night until 4 month sleep regression, then sleep just seems to be getting worse. Now at 7 months he’s up at least every 2 hours for a feed - I’m exhausted when did this start to improve for you?

Every baby is differnet! It definitely improves but also fluctuates! With my first born the first year of his life he hasn’t had any major sleep regressions it’s only since he turned that his sleep has been horrible and now he’s 19 mo and it still fluctuates a lot but that’s normal! All I’m saying is that it’s all temporary and that your son should be sleeping better again soon! Just be consistent in your routine and don’t change anything

For me it got a bit better around 8 months, this lasted for about 2 months and now she’s teething and wakes all the time.
For a while my LO woke only 1-3 times a night, and that was doable.

My baby was the exact same. I decided to night wean at 12 months old and he sleeps through now finally

I feel you, sleep is so hard at that age! Mine had acid reflux and were up every 1-2 hours. Maybe research and consider safe bedsharing? I did when my oldest was 7 months. I was against it initially, as I was under the impression it would ruin any progress we’d made towards independent sleep. But we got her into her own bed when she was 16 months, and despite some hiccups along the way, she’s 4 now and loves her sleep 😄
For mine, I found that as they changed, their routine needed tweaks or rebuilding entirely. Any bad sleep episodes have either been to do with illness or developmental changes, and if it was the latter, the quicker I realised and tried changing things, the quicker the sleep struggles resolved.
Definitely agree it fluctuates though. It wasn’t until about 2.5Y for mine that it stopped changing so much and stayed in a mostly-good state!

Not until he was 2 and we night weaned 😬 also slept through before the 4 month regression.
We had 40 min wakes until he was around 10 months.
Then every 1-2 hours until he was around 18 months.
Then he’d do 3 hours in the first stint then every 1-2 hours until we night weaned at 25 months.
He slept through 2 nights later and has since.
We’ve co-slept the whole time and still do except he now sleeps with dad not me x

Maybe try not offering a feed every time. Get your partner to settle them
