Hi! So my 8 month old is still struggling to sleep through the night and of course I know every baby is different but I’m a first time mom & wanted to get some advice !

We have a consistent bedtime around 7/7:30pm.

He wakes up almost every 4/5 hours. We usually dream feed before bed though that sometimes eliminates the first wake up time but after that, baby boy is up every morning between 3:30-5 for a feed.

Even though I’m open to it as a last resort I never really had the intention to do the cry it out method but it’s looking like the plan soon 🙃 I also don’t want to pay for a course or anything, open to a good book though!

My only concern is that he actually may be hungry. Once we started solids, he started drinking less in his bottles, and we actually never made it past 6 oz for feedings. He was a happy spitter (however I believe he had a slight reflux but it’s way better now) so we never wanted to force a bottle. But by bedtime he has reached maybe 20oz in the day.

Just looking for some advice, pointers on getting him to sleep through the night. He’s an amazing baby so I figured I’ll sacrifice sleep for him but it’s starting to really affect me , especially when I thought it would get better by now.

Help lol Thanks in advance 🫶🏾
