I feel like I’ve been asking the same question forever 😭
My DD has never been the best sleeper. Not horrendously bad, but we just can’t seem to get a good regular sleep from her at night.
Since she turned one - 12 weeks ago - she either has a split night or 4/5am waking. Last night she was awake from 130-430!! Night before she slept through to 430, day before 5am, day before she was awake from 1030pm-2am. There is no rhyme or reason, her day/nights are the same, she has a 2 hour nap from 1215-215, which I normally always have to wake her from as I’m always worried it’ll affect nights. We went back and forth to 2 naps, but she’s firmly set on 1 now, and it does seem to suit. We’ve tried everything in the night - leaving her to cry, giving her a bottle, lifting her, not lifting her. We’ve even tried putting the light on dim and leaving her to it with some toys in the cot. Worked one night, but then not last night.
I bought the Just Chill Mama sleep package for £45 I’d say a waste of money as theres not much different to what is on her insta page, although did help with going to bed. It was essentially a CIO method, and it didn’t work perfectly but we have less of a bedtime battle and the odd night she doesn’t cry going to bed. She suggests split nights are due to too much day sleep. Another sleep consultant on Instagram (yes, I follow them all to no avail), says it’s from being under tired . I honestly can’t tell which it is, if any.
Sorry for rambling as usual, I’m tired of crying and feeling like the world’s worst mother cause my poor baby isn’t getting a full night sleep 😭
