Hi I'm new here but I'm getting desperate. My 4 month old dd doesn't sleep during the night. We do a bedtime routine and put her down between 7.30-8.30 she usually goes down with little fuss (Although she wouldn't go without bf). She sleeps reasonably well until we go to bed at 11ish. She wakes up for a feed then she wakes every 20 minutes/hour (sometimes if I'm really lucky she will go 2 or 3 but rarely) for the rest of the night. sometimes she settles quickly with a dummy, sometimes it takes a lot of stroking/sshushing and she feeds every 2 hours until 5.30am when she is wide awake and takes an hour to go back down, she wakes again at 7 when dh goes to work then I bring her into my bed where she sleeps until 9ish. She had been in our room in a cosleep crib until recently but I thought maybe we were disturbing her so she's moved to her own room...It's made no difference at all, she is no better but no worse.
I can't cosleep as when dh is in the bed to the duvet ends up over her head and I'm so worried she might suffocate I don't sleep. She's ebf and is a terrible napper having 3x 30min naps at most. I don't agree with cio type sleep training.I can't go to bed earlier or I'd never see dh (who sleeps all night and doest help).I really don't know what to do. I'm shattered. I don't mind if she doesn't sleep through, getting up once or twice would be fine but sometimes it's only 15 minutes between wakings. I can't go on like this!!
