I really need help/advice from people who've been here as this is really starting to impact my mental health.
6 month old,sleeps from 7pm -3am,most nights without problem/many wake ups. From 3am, she starts to stir and then wakes every 30-45 mins. It sometimes takes me that long to get her back off so by the time in back in bed, I'm wide awake and worrying about when she'll next wake up. And thus the cycle continues ask morning. So I'm basically awake from 3am every day.
I know about sleep regression, development, sleep cycles. Yes I know all this is normal. This doesn't help at 4.30 am when she starts to stir again and I'm still awake. She's not hungry, she's not wet. Yes she's teething but once she's up for the day, she's generally fine.
Co sleeping doesn't work, she gets no comfort from it We use white noise but it's starting to feel like water torture to me.
We're in a 2 bed house as renovating our new one and it won't be ready until Easter. The 11 and 10 year old step daughter are in it. There is room for a cot and we are thinking about putting her in there with them to see how she goes.
I'm worried about my mental health. I've had it bad in the past but this is beginning to get to another level. I'm worried about her,she's had dark circles under her eyes for months and is clearly tired when she gets up for the day. She naps great in the day,that defo doesn't need to be changed as I've tried cutting one out on the suggestion of a sleep programme and she just fell asleep at the same time as her nap regardless. She self settles at nap time and up until 3am,but not when she wakes then.
Please has anyone got any suggestions
