My LG will be 6mo in 2 weeks time. Up until around 3.5mo she slept relatively well but around this time (4th oct to be precise 😩)Her sleep really derailed and she went from sleeping 7hr stretches on average to wakes every 30-40mins throughout the night. This went on until about 4 weeks ago and things started to seem to improve but again her sleep is so erratic. This week alone she has gone from sleeping 8pm to 6am. Then next night up every 40mins. Night after waking at 4am then not going bk down. Then last night woke at midnight and was up until 3:30am and then bk up at 5am. Now I know all of this can be put down to sleep regressions I’m VERY familiar with this thanks to falling down many 3am rabbit holes. I can’t talk to friends as they all seem to have these miracle babies that have slept 10-12hrs from very early on. I’ve been pressured to sleep train which I don’t want to do.

Husband and I constantly arguing as I’m struggling to cope and he keeps saying I just need to learn to “deal with it”.

I’m just looking for reassurance more that advice that this does and will get better and she will learn to sleep when she’s ready. Does anyone have similar experience?

Sleep can often improve come weaning onto food at around 6 months- hang in there OP- nap when you can, sod the chores and remember it does get better

Does she sleep in her own room or with you still?my DDs sleep was like this from 5-7 months, put her in her own room the day she turned 7 months and she slept 12 hours straight. I think is moving around (and DH snoring) was disturbing her. Might be worth a try if she’s not already in her own room?

I’ve been wondering the same as the above with DS in terms of him being disturbed by us (ie DH snoring) as he’s still in with us.
We’ve had similar OP as you. Really hoping that weaning and a move to his own room in the new year will help

Yea it definitely will get better. Have you read the No Cry Sleep Solution? That helped us when DH was a similar age.

Don't forget too that many parents lie about how their baby is sleeping, so don't necessarily believe everything your friends are saying.

The Basis website is good as well, even if it's just to reassure you that a baby waking is normal abs yea, it does get better Smile
