Sleep regression lasting longer than 6 weeks

Alexa • Wanderess. Mom to a perfect daughter. My son's heart only ever beat under mine.

Guys, I need help.or at least a bit of mental support. My daughter has been going through what I think/hope is sleep regression for the past 8 weeks, since she was 12 weeks old. It started by sleeping less and less (4, then 3 then 2 h. We are now at hourly and half hourly wakings). Naps are 30-45 minutes, she goes down with a little bit of resistance. Night time is pure hell. We have gone from 4-5 wakings to 7. Thats when I started crying because of tiredness in the morning. Now its around 10 wakings a night. Some nights we had 15. I have started bed sharing (all precautions taken) because I literally could not get up at one point. Its all that helps me not losing my mind. I would give anything (ANYTHING) for 2 h of uninterrupted sleep. Has anyone gone through sleep regression longer than the 6 weeks everyone talks about? I dont even know what to ask 🙈 right now she has woken up 6 times since I have put her to bed, I didnt even have time to eat something. I cooked and cleaned while she was sleeping (yeah in those 15 minute break increments) and right now Im crying with her on my breast. I just... Its too hard. I havent had a minute to myself in the past 8 weeks. I just want a tiny bit of down time in the evening to unwind while having dinner and eating something with a fork and a knife and not one handed with a baby in a sling 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
