Please only answer if you would class your baby as being an awful sleeper. Including, frequent wake ups, long re-settling times, taking ages to go to sleep/sleep refusal, low sleep needs (sleeps significantly less than recommended for their age).
My baby has always been a bad sleeper and I would say that I only get 1-2 good nights a week (if lucky). I have already had to resettle him twice since he went to bed at 7:30 😭

My 7 month old daughter wakes for resettling every 20 mins until I get in bed with her (we cosleep) she will always wake atleast once, happy and wanting to play for 1.5-3 hours. I’d say I get about 4 hours sleep a night which isn’t even a lot of deep sleep as I’m always on alert having her in bed with me. I don’t know what you class as a good night. She will only go to bed easily if I keep her awake for atleast 3.5 hours before bed otherwise she will just lay awake screeching, rolling around, shouting and generally being a happy little menace. It’s a lot. I have to be so strict with her naps in the day else she is even worse than that

Oh, my ass is so tired I assumed this was a 'how many wakes' poll without reading properly and now can't change my answer. One of those 3s is a 0.

1-2… in 21 months 😂

It's honestly so all over the place. We could have a good run of 4 nights, then 7 nights of a minimum of 5 wake ups each night 😴

by good night i mean 1-3 hours sleep uninterrupted sleep instead of broken 20 min bloody intervals 😭😭

My son is definitely a bad sleeper. We can go weeks of horrific, more than awful sleep, then get 5 nights on the bounce of better sleep, then back to horrific again. My standard of good sleep is still someone else’s awful tho 😂🥴There’s zero consistency.

I’m not even sure what is classified as good nights sleep anymore 🥴 my standards have become VERY low

My child was a very wakeful baby, but they do eventually sleep! I would say since age 3 (he’s now 5) he has more consistently slept through, or will wake once for a cuddle or a wee 😇
It’s all a season and gets progressively easier! But I remember how hard it is in the thick of it 💚 I’ll be right back with you soon as number 2 is due any day now - who knows though, maybe they’ll be a sleeper? 🤪
