ahhhh, two years on & still waiting....sorry that prob didn't help!!!
Though he sleeps from 7.30/8 til 4ish in the morn....so that's a good sleep & then back again til morning after a bottle.
It's a tough one & when you have up & down nights it takes it out of you but hang in there it will get better.
Even though she doesn't sleep through, does she usually have a good block straight up? If so then it could be teeth or an ear infection causing more constant wake ups & screaming. Charlie always woke a couple times a night with teeth (even with use of panadol) & more if ear infection. But we always figured something wasn't right & he was back to normal a few nights later.
OMG SHES SCREAMING IN HER COT!!! Help me girls... I need some encourage ment...I'm not coping with this tonight... i don't know what to do... she has a clean nappy, had a bottle, no temp....doesn't want to be cuddled...
Umm... when he was 12 months old. At 10-11 months he was still waking at least every 4 hours at night.
Now he sleeps like a champion (most of the time). At least 12 - 14 hours per night without a peep and a good 2-3 hours during the day. It WILL get better.
Forgot to add... we did nothing to encourage it. It just happened
Bella started sleeping through at about 3 months and has been doing it evey since. I didnt do anything to encorage it - she just decided one night that she could make it through. How ever I do give her a bigger bottle for her last and that sees her through for the 12-13 hrs she is asleep.
I really think all bubs are different... some do and some dont.
Sorry I cant give any advice but to say that it will happen one day.
I also find that on the odd occation that she does waje up that I just give her her dummy and she will go back to sleep...
I hope that you get some more sleep soon!
Do you know the funny thing - I miss her snuggles in the dead of night just her and me!!
Well, I think it was around 8 or 9 mths but then he stopped sleeping thru for a month at around 10 and 11 mths and now he generally sleeps thru but occasionally he needs a dummy resettle over night.
I stopped feeding him overnight at around 7 or 8mths and would just try and resettle him. I think it did help, but it took a bit longer to resettle without a feed.
Does she resettle after a feed? It sounds like you are spending a long time awake overnight (it is easier to get up overnight if you can feed and get back to sleep quickly IYKWIM) Have you tried co-sleeping? are you still BF? I (selfishly) stopped feeding o/n cos I weaned him and didn't want to be making bottles o/n (Also the MCHN said he really didn't need it) (I still fed him if he was upset and not settling, but generally he didn't need it)
Teeth will make it worse. Have you tried panadol or infants ibuprofen? That is what i tend to resort to when they are 'out of it'.
Hi Jen.....
I have probably told you before but DD2 is almost 3 and doesnt sleep through! Thomas does some nights and then not for a few..... DD1 sleeps like a dream now...... As you can guess i "do" nothing to change this habit! But this works for us...not everyone
Hoping for a better night tonight for you,. it is extra hard when u dont have family. Broken sleep its a form of torture- i hate it.. Hope all of us who babies wake often during the night start getting better sleeps soon . take care
DD#1 - after 6mths old
DD#2 - after 5 weeks old
DD#3 - 17 months old...although we still have the odd night where she may want a drink of water, cuddle, or just to know im still around.....
