Anyone else?!??!

Question

Ok.... I feel like I am the only one struggling with this....

My baby has slept through the night from 3 weeks - 3.5 months or so and when the 4 month sleep regression hit its like he NEVER wanted to sleep through the night again. Now he is 7 months and gets up 2, 3, 4x a night and wont usually go back to sleep unless I nurse him. It makes me MAD!!! I feel like all babies are sleeping through the night and I've been dealing with a newborn the last 4 months... Plus, his naps are only 30-40 mins stretches.

He is a GREAT baby!! Not usually fussy and a cool, calm temperament.  Just not great when it comes to sleeping.....

Pleaseeeeee tell me I am not the only one going crazy and the only one who is dealing with this?!

Answer

Exactly the same as you. However i dont plan to sleep train, i will just follow my daughter 's lead. Sooner or later they will sleep through the night and sooner or later they will stop nursing. So enjoy the bonding for now and stay positive. I know it is hard to think so at 3 am but i try to remind myself all the time that one day i will look back at all these beautiful memories. For example i remember when she was a newborn she would grunt the whole night and i was constantly worried and checking on her every 15 min. I dont know how i functioned back then but we are capable of such amazing things as mothers and now when i think about it i find it so funny and cute how she used to grunt. This phase is so short and they need us so much right now.

Answer

This sounds exactly like my baby except he's never slept through the night.

Answer

I only had a few weeks the first four months that she would sleep midnight - 8am of so, now she's up all night or so it seems. Just waiting for her to outgrow this. It could be teething...

Answer

It's actually really normal for baby's to wake at the end of every sleep cycle! My daughter slept threw the night from 2weeks- 4 months and has woken 2-3 times a night since then. We co sleep tho so it's really easy to just pop a boob in her mouth 😊

Answer

I feel your pain. But believe me. Not all, not even most, babies sleep through the night before the age of 1. Read this article, it really helped me manage my expectations, which in turn helped me have more patience with my baby. They can't help it, they're just growing and doing what babies do. http://kellymom.com/parenting/nighttime/sleep/

Answer

3-4 wake ups would be great. Mine wakes up 6-8 times a night. I go to sleep same time the baby does. It helps alot.

Answer

My 7 month old still wakes up 3/4 times a night. My 2 year old still wakes up for a glass of water occasionally... I see it this way, I wake up through the night to grab a drink or go to the toilet How can I expect a baby to sleep through.

Answer

Same here. Mines having trouble getting past an hour at a time and wants to feed.

Answer

Same here. We are planning on sleep training in the very near future. The sleep deprivation is really getting to me.

Answer

Same exact thing here! He was great and then got sick around 4 months. Haven't slept through the night since then. He wakes up every 3 hours and won't go back down unless I nurse him.
