Does it get better???

10 month old sleep has been HORRENDOUS for weeks.

he started nursery, then caught a bug. Got rid of the bug and is now teething

so I know these are all normal things that can affect sleep but I don’t even get 2 solid hours at a time at the minute 😭 I’m drained

does it improve as he gets older? I’m struggling so much with the broken sleep

Better, then worse, then better again. And repeat. Sympathies. The illness carousel will get better though, especially once he’s thoroughly dunked in nursery germs and the weather warms again.

My son started nursery around this time of year and MY GOD the first winter was germs after germs. If he’s ill he’s also up all night so I can relate. I can’t remember exactly when the sickness conveyer stopped but he just gets the odd cold now, so I can’t say when, but it does!

I hope it gets better!!!
DD hasnt started nursery yet. Shes in the process of doing some settling sessions.
So far she has done 2 hours.
She already has a cough, cold and ear infection. Which I have caught too.
Her sleep was thrown for a few days where she was waking up with snot dripping down the baxk of her throat.
It will get better.
Probably when the germs have eased!

It will definitely get better.

YES!!!
I can’t actually tell you when my DD (the worse sleeper) finally consistently slept through the night because it was so up and down for so long, but it did just keep getting a bit better over the months/years even with occasional ’backwards’ steps.

It gets better! Promise Brew Hang in there.

It gets better, worse, better, worse etc etc . I’m a long time a parent and there are challenges with every age, it just changes . By 3 most of mine were sleeping reliably, my 5 year old still wakes sometimes..
The thing is it will get better but then if hand other dcs it all starts again!! 😂

I agree that once spring /summer comes it’ll be so much better as they’ll be outside loads and way less illness!! I breastfed my kids loads at that age too to try and combat the bugs and give antibodies etc so if you are bf I’d try and keep that up.

*have other dcs
