7 week baby - still not sleeping well at night , am I alone ?

Question

Sometimes I am up every hour . I’ve tried everything but if I’m lucky I can get a 2 -3 hour stretch sometimes . Each week seems to get worst , but if she sleeps on my chest she will sleep way way longer

Answer

🙋🏻‍♀️baby is 8 weeks we swaddle and tonight we got a 5 hour stretch to start but then she was up and hour later 😒 usually after her first big stretch it’s every 2 hours on the dot

Answer

Not alone! My baby is 8 weeks and I am damn lucky if he sleeps in his crib more than an hour at night. If he’s on my chest he’ll sleep 4-5 hours. It’s been really rough ha my hope is he eventually grows out of it. I have tried everything under the sun and nothing has worked. Hang in there!

Answer

I’m in the same boat. 😩 last night I put him in his cosleeper inside the bassinet after I let him play on his mat because he gets super tired. He only slept for about an hour before he woke up to gas pains. After that he wouldn’t go back to sleep for 2 hours (and I fed him) but put him in his swing and I slept on the couch by him. He slept 4 hours in his swing.

Answer

Its just a phase hopefully will sleep for you soon. In the mean time do what ever it is that gets you sleep and keeps you sane. If thats sleeping with baby on your chest then do it. Dont feel defeated  because thats not what everyone else does or what the babys ment to do every baby is different.

Answer

Whew! Finally someone I can relate to! My baby is 9 weeks and I still feel super lucky if she sleeps a 3 hour stretch 😩Everyone else seems to be wondering if it's okay for their baby to sleep and not eat for 8 hours 😒

Answer

Have you tried swaddling? My little guy has been sleeping through the night the last 2 or 3 weeks. Now he's up to 8 hour stretches. I keep him up all evening and then use the Halo swaddles and put him in his crib and he's out like a light!

Answer

From everything I’ve been told, it’s a survival thing to be on or near their caregiver at all times. It should get better!! Hang in there!!

Answer

Its normal for babies that age to not sleep overnight.  It will get better with time.

Answer

My baby is 6.5 weeks and I was just wondering this too! My baby hates sleeping in her bassinet or cosleeper, I'm lucky to get 30 mins and I'm going crazy
