7m not sleeping - please help!
I'm at my wits end, please can someone help meπ
My 7month old has never been a good sleeper but shes just got worse and worse and I can't cope anymore. She's been in a cot in her own room for about 6 weeks now. It was difficult as she transitioned for about a week and a half, and then she settled in and slept well for about a week. Since then, she's been awful. Waking up 7-8 times a night, she'll sleepanywhere from between 10mins to 2 hours but never more than that, and going as long as 2 hours only happens once or twice a night. She has a consistent bedtime routine which we've had for months. She takes so long to go down at bedtime. Today the health visitor told me to transition to 2 naps, and as it was already 3pm and my baby had had 2 naps, I decided not to try for another. She went down almost instantly after a much calmer bedtime and it was brilliant! But she still will not sleep for long, and I'm currently battling to get her back down at 4am and I am exhausted. I know babies often have a 7m regression (the 4m regressions lasted literally the entire month for us), but has anyone else been through this? Please please tell me it gets better soonπ she's also so close to crawling which i know can upset sleep, but will she sleep once she can crawl? I'm just so so shattered and I need support and reassurance. I'm struggling so much.
