[QUOTE=Michelle71;1836885 I am hanging for the 6 month mark where they change again and sleep longer through the day (and night) and become more predictable for a little while. [/QUOTE]
Oh Michelle im that this happens to ds soon. He has never been the best sleeper day or night and the night he turned 6 months he woke up at 230 and was up till almost 5 when i managed to get him back to sleep till 7. I really needed the sleep that night too.
Anna DD behaviour is completely normal and it is very frustrating when you hear of these babies that sleep so well and yours is up all night.
I feel your pain! My DS only last night finally slept for 6 hrs straight!! it has been nearly a month of waking nearly every hour overnight! It does get better, Dont know what his problem was, no new teeth, maybe a growth spurt? but its all normal. Hugs hun, youre not alone xx
We had a shocking night with ds2 last night as well... i think i was up every 1/2 hour either feeding him or putting the dummy back in.. ahhhhhh i need sleep!
I wish i could tell you it all stops at a certain age and your DD will sleep all night through but unfortunately that hasn't been the case for us DS1 is nearly 3 and he's only just started sleeping through the night without waking, we had a shocker of a time with him too so i'm not holding out much hope that ds2 will improve any time soon
BUT i can tell you that you're doing a wonderful job and you are NOT a failure!! I know its hard but things will eventually get better. I find ds goes through phases where he'll be an awsome sleeper for a week or two (he was sleeping 11 hours straight at one point!!) and then he'll be shocking for a few months
Teething and growth spurts definitely make him worse. Do you think your DD could be teething?
Hang in there, try and have a snooz when she has her day naps if you can. Sorry i can't be more help but just wanted to let you know you're not alone. When i'm up resettling DS2 at 1am, 2am, 3am.. i like to think of all the other mummies that are probably up at the same time cursing under their breath (or out loud lol) just like me
sooo many things that we will never figure out LOL will keep them up & down at night, but they will get to an age where they do sleep better & several night wakings will usually mean somethings not right eg....ear infection, teeth, growth spurt & so on.
My DS got his first 2 teeth at just over 5months, we didn't expect it so when he woke every hour or so for two nights in a row we just didn't know what to do. IL's were visiting so they rocked him during the day etc whilst we rested & I remember clearly thinking gosh it hasn't been like this since 6wks!!!! then pop out came 2 teeth & we figured it out. So it could be something like that or just a comfort thing.
Oh no, i just started a thread about starting solids and sudden night waking. Ds has been constantly waking at night (not hungry, just whingy) and it coinsided with the introduction of solids so i thought maybe there was a link. Atleast we are in it together and i'll give you all a thought when i am up hourly with you all tonight
