Losing Hope with sleep

[Newmama93]

I’m in tears!! My 6 month old hasn’t slept for 2 months. I don’t know what to do, I feel like it’ll never end. He had perfect naps yesterday, 1.5 hour sleep for first nap, lunchtime nap 45 minutes and then am afternoon nap of 45 mins so his bedtime was at 715pm.

He then woke 820, 945, 1050, 12, 1250, 130,3 and then was up at 4am and wouldn’t settle back to sleep so after an hour of trying to resettle I got up. He’s fine in the day, nothing appears to be wrong with him. When he wakes he waves his arms around and rubs his eyes or will also punch his face sometimes. He’s rubbing his eyes a LOT. When he wakes at 4 he is farting a lot so I think he’s trying to poo but I can’t fathom all of the other night wakings, surely a regression can’t go for this long this bad?

Has anyone had their babies rubbing eyes lord through the day and night? Thank you

Hey! Any resolution to this?
My baby is also 6 months and wakes ALL the time in the night, squirming with pain and full of farts!
She’s EBF and I’ve cut out all dairy, gluten etc from diet.
Nothing seems to help!

Try 30 mins sleep in the morning and then bigger sleep at lunchtime (2 hours) with only 30 in the afternoon. Is he hungry ?

Maybe try playing white noise all night, it definitely helped my dd.

My baby did this-had 2 weeks of good sleep, then 4 months hit, and then up all the time. Only thing that helped was co-sleeping-could try?

Mine barely slept for the first 6 months. Four month sleep regression?! Ha! There would have had to be some sleep to regress from!

It does get better eventually, even though your probably feel like you’re going through hell. Co-sleeping did help us. Is that something you’d be willing to try? Have you spoken to your Health Visitor?

I still remember my eldest going through a phase, when she was about 4 months old, of waking up every 45 fucking minutes. I developed anxiety around falling to sleep because I knew I’d be woken up. It was hell on earth (and my partner was an utter moron about it but I have just about moved past it.

I think I just rode it out, it didn’t last more than a few weeks. I’m sorry I can’t offer anything more helpful for you now.
