I can't cope anymore with no sleep (13 month old)

[FedUpAndTired2018]

Just that. He doesn't sleep. I've had enough. Don't want to do this anymore

I think it is worth giving sleep training a go.

Can you talk us through his daytime naps and the usual night time?

I hear you@FedUpAndTired2018 I'm 15 months in. What's the routine like? Can you get some time for yourself to get some rest?

I am trying sleep training. It is not working, he's just screaming /crying.

My family are being great but I think they are fed up of it tbh, as am I.

How long have you been training for? Are you doing it on your own or do you have a partner to support you?

Watching this as I am 13 months in and I am exhausted!

This is day 3. I'm trying to stick to the timings for eating, nap time etc but he just won't sleep. I'm in tears again. Just so fed up. I hate my life

Can mother's with babies around similar age let us know their routines pls

Have you got GP (Dr) support? I rang for an appointment and threatened to leave dc in the foyer if they didn't see me!!
Dr was amazing, and his methods had ds sleeping within a week.

Is it daytime sleep as well as through the night? Is hard to put down to sleep or is it that he wakes multiple times through the night or both?

@Aprilshowersarecomingsoo
What was his methods?

aprilshowers I am going to try and see the GP on Monday. Don't really expect much help though. When I've mentioned it before I've just been told "some babies just wake up a lot." Well, yeah, clearly.

Are you feeding overnight?

Yes it's all sleep. He wakes up multiple times and for a long time (1-2 hours) in the night. He is never in a settled deep sleep either. Always restless and moving

My DD does this too. She’s 16 mo now and just finally got her down at 12:38am. She’ll wake multiple times in the night to be fed. At my wits end as well, you’re not alone

I went through this with both my babies. It is hell. But after age 2 they started sleeping better and it's a distant memory now. It WILL get better. Your life won't always be like this. Ps if there's any way you can afford a sleep consultant, go for it..

Didn't want to read and run, just wanted to say hang in there. DD was like this until 7 months, that was bad enough so can only imagine how drained you must be. We used controlled crying with a strict bedtime routine. It took some time but we got there in the end. I really hope the GP can help you. Do you have any family or close friends who can give you a break? My best to you.

Plus if you haven't already..could you wean?

This sounds like my DD1. Have you tried co sleeping? Saved our sanity.

If he's breastfed he may settle better on the formula. A soother and formula not to be sneezed at.

silver 2!!! I honestly don't think I can carry on until then.

ReggieKray yes we do, but he's climbing all over me all night and I can't stand it.

I've paid a sleep consultant for a sleep plan and support. I've said he won't sleep. Nothing yet.

It's so tough. My other two were crap sleepers but all changed around 18 months. This one is 5 months and we are co-sleeping at night. I'm unable to put him down ATM in the day so use a sling. The only thing that will defo work is time.

How much at all does he nap? 2am party time was a distinct sign DD was dropping naps - I stupidly resisted because all the books and website told me so...

My ds is 2.5 and we are still going through this. Tried two different sleep trainers, co sleeping etc and he just doesnt sleep through. DH and I are just beyond sleep deprived.

He was never a great sleeper, always restless. Sorry op I sympathize

slacker this morning he was up at 6,then napped at 9 - 9.30. He would have had more but the plan says he's only to have 30 minutes then and then 2.5 hours at 12. But I tried for 90 minutes to get him to sleep at lunchtime and it hasn't happened

What does the plan say about how and where he naps?
