Am I the only one with a baby who doesn't sleep?

Question

She sleeps a long night but she's constantly up. Go to bed at 7, up at 9, 11, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6:30...  I don't understand. She will cry until I nurse her. I'm exhausted.

Answer

I'm in the same boat. Only my baby won't go down to bed until midnight and it takes all night to wind her down until then. Then she's up again every few hours and has to be nursed back to sleep. Even day naps (which I keep scheduled) she fights and will only sleep if she's nursed. It's been since the moment we brought her home from hospital and has never been a period of "good sleeping."  I read all these other posts of mothers with babies that sleep so well and I feel like I've tried everything.

Answer

You could be describing my daughter. I'm nervous about it affecting my milk supply and not to mention I am exhausted all day. I got a teething necklace today to hopefully keep her latched on and eating more during the day. I think she isn't eating enough and then waking during the night to eat. And teething, she's definitely teething.

Answer

My son is doing something similar 😔 I'm exhausted and just wishing he would sleep through the night already. I put him down by 7:45-8:05 he'll wake up around 10:30-11, then again at 12 sometimes, then 3, 4, 5 or 6. Then he's up at 7:30 AM. I try to give him his paci but he most of the time he wants to eat and go to sleep. Here's to hoping we all get some sleep soon!

Answer

Is she on a nap schedule during the day?

Answer

We had that from the 4 month sleep regression until now. We started sleep training this last week with the chair method. It's helping, but only if we're make sure she eats enough during the day. Sometimes, she gets so busy and distracted that she won't eat, then gets up every two hours to eat at night. Of course, then she's not hungry the next day and the cycle continues.

Answer

My daughter too. I give her a little time to settle herself back to sleep and she never does.

Answer

Sounds exactly like my boy! And he will scream his head off unless I nurse him back to sleep...
