My DD is 4.5 months old. As many babies, she used to sleep fairly well as a newborn but since she turned 3 months, I think we were hit by a regression and we haven’t seen the light at the end of the tunnel yet.
She is EBF and currently wakes up every 2 hours, if not hourly most nights. Also started to fight naps and still only ever naps in the sling.
On top of that, we are trying to gradually stop swaddling as we suspect she will roll over soon but she keeps waking herself up with her arm (we are doing one arm in one arm out to start with).
I think she keeps waking up demanding the breast as it helps her fall asleep again and I end up being so tired that I eventually in bed with us almost all night. Was hoping to move her to her own room when she is 6-7 months (mostly as we have no space for a proper cotbed in our room) but now I fear it will be hell!
I was just hoping other mums with older babies could share their experience and tips on LOs sleep and when it got better. I am not interested in any type of sleep training that involves crying. The only thing we are trying is putting her down seconds before she is asleep but tbh it hasn’t made any difference.
Thank you!
