Just after some sympathy and a hand hold really. My baby is 18 weeks old and has never been a good sleeper, but this last week has got ridiculous. Last Saturday she slept 5hr15 straight, her longest ever, and I was so happy I wanted to text everyone in my Contacts to tell them. That seems to have been a freak event though, because since then she's slept for 2-3 hours to start the night then woken every 1-2 hours.
Tonight is especially bad. I was so hopeful that it would be better after she settled herself nicely in her cot, but she was awake after 2.5 hrs and my heart sank in my chest, and she is now waking every hour. She's been in bed since 7 and it feels like the night will never end.
My DH will take her for a couple of hours in the morning but she's ebf so there's not much he can do at night. My baby is so sweet during the day but I'm worried I'm failing her by not helping her to sleep better. She only gets an average of 11 hours of sleep a day but I just don't know how to help her to sleep more. I feel so alone and so tired. I just want someone to come and fix it for me but this is the first time in my life that no one can do that. 😔
