6 month old not sleeping through the night??

Question

Help!! My daughter used to sleep all night I’m talking 9-9 kinda thing and as soon as the 4 month regression hit she slowly started to have shorter and shorter stretches. She never really went back to full nights she had a random full night a couple weeks back but that’s it. Is anyone else’s 6 month old not sleeping through the night? And for those with babies that do what sort of routine or what not do you have?? She never had to be rocked to sleep and now she wakes up as soon as I put her down! Need help or ideas please! Being a mom of a toddler as well, I’m extremely tired! Lol thanks

Answer

Mine doesn’t. Usually asleep right at 8, then will have one wake up somewhere between 3-5. I keep hearing 6 months old can go 10-11 hours without a feeding, but she does not seem willing to drop it yet

Answer

I’m sure it’s pretty normal for them not to sleep through the night at this age?? 
My girl is almost 7 months and sometimes still feeds every 2-3 hours through the night, occasionally she will sleep in a block of 4-5 hours but not often at all 
Maybe it’s just normal to me, my boy who turned 4years old a few days ago still wakes 1-2 times a night now 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Yeah my 6 month old is all over the place with sleep. I swear she does it just to mess with me. 
Last week she was sleeping in her crib (beside my bed) for 5-6 hour stretches; so 19:30-01:30 then bottle and sleep again till 6:00. Perfect, one happy mummy. 
Then something happened and she had this weird 24 hour period where she went hysterical whenever I wasn’t nearby. She only slept in my arms that day and that night wouldn’t go down.
Then another night like before, a 5-6 hour stretch, ok just a weird bump right?
Nope so far this week she’s been in my bed because clearly the crib that is 30cm further away is too far. She’s sleeping for 3-4 hours at a time but when she wakes up is checking whether I’m there, usually puts her hand on my face and goes back to sleep. 
Some nights she has no feeds, so I know she CAN go all night without, yet other nights she screams like a banshee and you’d honestly think she was starving the way she attacks the bottle.

Answer

Mine never used to sleep through the night but 2 weeks ago she started all on her own. She still fits the weight for our bassinet, shes getting smart enough to roll over and grab the sides so weve got the crib ordered, anyway I just laid her down in the bassinet one night to go to the bathroom before bed. Tmi: It was a #2 so it took a while, and when i got back she was asleep so i took it as a win since weve been bed sharing. I go to sleep and 7 hours later my husband wakes up for work and she had started to stir a bit, so I had him give her tonme so she could eat, went back to sleep for another 4 hours or so nursing every so often. But as far as schedule throughout the day I have her nap every 2 hours or she gets overtired, sometimes I'll just nurse her to sleep and let her stay latched if she needs a longer nap. But I follow her cues, at night when she starts rubbing her eyes, between 8 and 11 usually, I lay her down. She fusses for about 15 to 20 minutes, she finds her thumb and goes to sleep.

Answer

The four month sleep regression ruined my baby’s sleep too! She use to go 8 hours consistently and now I’m lucky if I get one four hour stretch at night. I know she CAN sleep through the night but I’ve let her get in the habit of me walking/nursing her to sleep and then feeding her back to sleep when she wakes up. I plan to start night weaning and sleep training, but she has a cold right now so I feel bad starting while she’s sick. I don’t know if that’s the answer, but that’s the only thing I can think of 🤷🏻‍♀️. Good luck!

Answer

Mine moans in his sleep... I pick him up and he settles.... started doing it when he had a cold (poorly) now four weeks on he is still doing it 🤷🏻‍♀️ before this he would sleep through

Answer

Keep with a routine. Also, I don’t let her take a nap after 5pm and don’t let her nap more than 2 hours at a time. We start her bedtime routine between 7-8pm every night: bath (even if just rinsing with water some nights and playing with bath toys), book, 8oz bottle, sound machine, rock until sleepy.

Answer

My 6 month old doesn’t but never has aside from a glorious 2 wks back when he was like 3 months old lol. We bed share he eats like every 2-3 hrs through the night. 8p- 7a

Answer

Mine doesn’t. She still wakes up every 3 hours to eat. I don’t mind though. She’s under weight and small so if she’s hungry I want her to eat!
