Will this ever get better?

Question

Will I ever sleep again? Longer than 1 hour intervals? My child is 2 months and I feel like I'm going to fall out from exhaustion. I can't do 1 hour intervals at night and exactly 30 minute naps during the day....my husband and I can't do this much longer. We live far away from any family or help bc of his job.

Answer

Not to demotivate you, but it depends on the child. My boy is almost 16 months old and still wakes up averagely 5-6 times per night, usually due to bad dreams or thirst. But it does get better. I hit my exhaustion peak at 4 months pp, even had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. I'm still always tired now, but I function just fine.

Answer

Depends on your baby...my daughter didn’t sleep longer than three hours til seven months

Answer

My baby did that in the beginning too 😭
I was wondering what I was doing wrong since it seems like so many other babies sleep through the night by 2 months.
After 2 months old it got a tiny bit better. 2 hour intervals with the occasional 3-4.
Then at 4 months old there was a week or two it was really bad again. And then right after that he slept like 6-7 hours in a row!
Now my baby is 5 months and wakes up anywhere from 1-4 times and it’s definitely better.
I hope you can get some sleep soon. Try to get your husband to take over the baby some morning so you can sleep in. Sometimes two extra hours in the morning can help you feel like you’re surviving

Answer

My son was the same as a newborn but by 2 months he started sleeping longer stretches and my husband and I would switch off who got up so we both could get longer stretches of sleep. It gets better, right now that baby needs you guys 100% of the time. I absolutely hated the newborn stage and almost didn’t want another but by 6 months I changed my mind lol I’m still not looking forward to the newborn stage but it passes faster then you think, just work out a plan that works for you guys for your own sanity!
