Where has my sleeping beauty gone!!!
Hi ladies,
I am struggling so bad! My daughter (6 months, 1 week and breastfed) does not nap and does not sleep well at night.
Went from great sleeping up until 4 months, then to ok sleeping at 5 months and now at 6 months is so horrible. When we finally do get her to sleep which takes anywhere from 2-4 hours she still wakes 3-4 times a night.
I spend my day time thinking about her day time naps which just recently dropped to 15 mins... legit she does not do any longer than that. I also spend my nights dreading putting her to sleep and thinking about if she and how she will sleep. So basically my head and mind is consumed with her sleep and Im constantly stressing about it.
I have been trying every sleeping technique possible but she loses it. I dont know what else to do. Ive watched youtube videos, read books and even spoke to my child and family nurse and nothing is working. Even nursing her doesnt always work.
I am so tired. I have no family to help me. There is great advice on her but sometimes recommending programs and social media accounts dont cut it. Nothing is helping and i feel so lost.
What am i doing wrong? I feel like a failure. Im trying so hard so she can get all the sleep needed but Im feeling so down because its just become so hard.
We put her to bed at 7:40, she woke 30 mins later and protested from there on out and we only just put her back to sleep after rocking her for 2.5 hours (taking turns with hubby)
Sorry for the rant. Im just feeling a little overwhelmed as this has been going on for 1-2 weeks now and I just cant see the light at the end of the tunnel.
