Hi girls
Firstly I'm not someone that expects my Lo to sleep through the night. She's a baby and I get that but I'm exhausted. Once or twice a night would be fine by this is too much
My lg is 8.5 months old. At about 6 months old she started waking every hour during the night and it was really tough. At nearly 7 months we used controlled crying (not what this thread is about) and that really worked for us. She was up once or twice a night after that. However over the festive period things kind of slipped and we weren't always sleeping at home or there were people here until late etc
Now we are back to her being up every 1.5 hours until 3am then every hour and I'm shattered. The last two days she's woken up at 5.30 and that's her ready for the day there's no putting her back to sleep. Again I wouldn't mind this if I was getting sleep during the night but I'm not
Any ideas?
CC is not currently something I can do. My oh is very busy at work and therefore needs his sleep and doing CC needs more of a team effort than we can do ATM.
I also do not want to co-sleep. She does come into our bed at 4 or 5 but I don't sleep when she is in bed with me. I've tried it properly in the past but it's just not for me
It had been suggested she's napping too little but I think she naps a decent amount. She usually naps for an hour in the morning and for 1-2h in the afternoon. Some days she has three naps but the last couple of weeks she seems to be transitioning into two naps. She currently goes to bed between 8 and 830. Any earlier and she just cries and cries
Thanks if you managed to read this far
