Sleeping problems.

[sophiellxo]

Hi can I have a ppp my youngest daughter who will be 5 months in the next couple of weeks hardly sleeps the longest she’ll nap during the day is 30-45 mins at a push and at night is still up 3/4 times any advice or tips willing to try anything as I do all night feeds myself and am absolutely exhausted now.

It all sounds fairly normal at this age. If your bf can you try feeding laying down? If ff is there anyone who can help you out? Do you have a partner? Or a friend or relative who can take the baby for a couple of hours while you nap?

I don't have any tips but i definitely know the feeling. My 15 month old boy still wakes throughout the night. Not for feeds but just constant reassurance that someone is there. Its exhausting and i hope that it will get better one day. Hang in there ❤️

My dd was the same at that age, we used to do 4 30 min naps in the day and multiple night wakes. We started bedsharing at 4 months so I could survive it.
Now I’m working full time she still doesn’t sleep through at 15 months but if it’s anything other than a quick feed she needs I’ll tag DH in if I’ve been up more than once already.

We get the odd glimmer of hope about better sleep but there’s always a cold or teething or development leap that disrupts it. I tell myself she’ll sleep eventually 🤷‍♀️
I’d be broken without bedsharing though as I really struggle to go back to sleep if I wake up properly.
