My 5 month old has been sleeping on her own in her own bed since birth I don't believe in baby in our bed thing its just not comfortable but she's been sleeping nights since she hit the 4kg mark and the nurse said we were fine to give up night feed she still wakes up through the night but we just give her back her dummy and she goes to sleep on her own we've never had problems with sleep training her since she was 1.5-2 months old

Mine didn’t sleep until 18 months and looking back I don’t think we could have done anything differently! Like you, we tried it all and paid for all the things. I am so sorry and I hope they hit a new stride this weekend and you can 😴 also know there are fellow sufferers and parenting and SO HARD

I'm not sure there's much you can do. My 2.5 year old has started sleeping through occasional nights recently, but otherwise is up once a night or so, usually not for too long. He just needs a cuddle and a resettle. Just go easy on yourself! And do things that make your life a bit easier, because sleep deprivation is really challenging. It does get easier!

I’m lucky because my little guy is a great sleeper, but giving him a larger bottle before bed. He watches Puffin Rock on Netflix while he eats. Then we read a book & rock to sleep. I hope you find a way to get some sleep!

Going to follow this thread. My son is 13 months, exclusively breastfed, and I’m the only one who can put him to bed. When dad tries he just screams and cries for me!! And he also wakes up like 2-4 times at night 😭 I know it’s normal, but wow I’m tired!!

You can try sleep training with a more gentle method. There are some where you remain with your child and pick them up whenever you want to and soothe them however you want to. They're slower-paced but work very well.

White noise? Special snuggle blankie? Do they want milk or just you? I’d first try and cut back on the feeds one by one and offer cuddles instead and hopefully they’ll help. It’s hard I usually just jump in a bed with them half way through the night. As long as I get a few hours in my own bed I’m happy but they go straight back to sleep with a cuddle

I put my son on a little bed next to me until he was about mo, then his own little bed in his own room. But when he cries i just take him with me to bed. He sleeps better and later in the morning this way too 😉

If you’re exclusively BF she may still need some milk during the night. Caloric increase during the day may also help. And lastly she may just need some extra comforts if she’s in her own room 💕 Teething and growth spurts can cause sleep interruption too.

My daughter used to wake in the night, I'd put her dummy back in and she'd either go back to sleep or wake fully. If she woke, she'd get fed & changed. She's started sleeping through and only wakes if the room is too warm/cold
