Did your babies sleep issues resolve itself?

[sleepdeprivationz]

My baby who’s 1 next week doesn’t sleep well

he does an good stretch 6.30/7-12 then from there it’s so hard

he wakes differently so sometimes it’s a quick cuddle and back down

sometimes it’s being wide awake 1-1.5 hrs randomly middle of the night?

and currently, I don’t know what’s wrong, for 2 hours he’ll be in a very very light sleep and then every 10 mins or so sit up right scream then I have to settlehim

he can get himself asleep when sleepy he does this I put him in his cot and he starts the night off by doing that

Did your little ones just stop these random wakunts does it just resolve itself please give me hope I’m so tired haha

I’ll just add he did have quite a good phase!

when we put him in his room at 6mo he slept great. And only woke around 5am and got in our bed until 7-8

Didn’t want to read and run but no advice but watching with interest as my 9 month old is possibly the worst sleepier in the entire world and I’m praying it somehow gets better one day.

It’s tough but not abnormal. Most babies don’t sleep through despite there being some who do and you have to remember babies brains are constantly developing and going through huge leaps

my 15 month old has never been the ‘best’ sleeper but within the last 3 weeks has just started sleeping through.

OP what is it that you’re hoping for?

personally I’m not massively interested in DD sleeping through every night, I’m happy for 1-2 night feeds if it comforts her, and I don’t mind the odd late night or early morning. i know she’s a baby and I don’t expect perfect sleep. I think other parents sometimes mistakenly assume we want our babies to go from horrific sleep to sleeping through in a couple of nights, but most of us I think just want some way to improve the awful situation we find ourselves constantly in every single night with impossible to put to sleep babies, babies who wake constantly, long split nights, early wakings and sleep associations we can’t break.

My LO was bf till 20 months, he self weaned at night around 15 months when he started sttn. Before then he used to wake up hourly!

My DD woke every 40 minutes until she was 15 months, it often took over and hour to get back to sleep each time. We didn't get more than 4 hours sleep a night each for those 15 months. After that she would only wake 2/3 times a night.
She is now 2.5 and the last 3 nights she has slept from around 8 until 6:30.

We had this with DD and found that she gradually woke up later and later until she was sleeping like a normal night.

Then when she started nursery it happened all over again but we trusted the same thing would happen and it did. So yes I'd say her sleep issues resolved themselves. It's hard though when you're in it

My dc started sleeping well at about 2 and a half. I think some of it is just genetic / nature. Sending love though, sleep deprivation is just shit.

Your bed time is far far too early.

Short answer, yes. Feels a long time ago now, so I can't remember all the details, but I remember regularly having to go and resettle them into toddlerhood, and I vividly remember the first time my dd slept through in her own bed - she was about two and a half. And that was a one-off, she was back to waking after that. But it gave me hope!

Many evenings spent lying with them and then ever so slowly extricating my arm and creeping out of the room, creeping down the stairs, sitting down to watch a bit of telly only to hear a wail and feel utter despair 😅But it passed. Dd was reliably sleeping through in her own bed by about three, I think, and ds I remember was later, because he was five and told me himself he was going to sleep in his own bed from now on (and he did from that day on).

It does pass. All I thought was I'll be there for them when they need me until they don't need me any more.
