What does your 6m sleep look like?

[cadburyluver]

My baby has never been a great sleeper but I do feel it's got worse !

We moved her into her own room 10 nights ago. She had a few nights which were ok. Still has a night feed at some point between midnight and 3am - last week it has been at mid night BUT it's the night waking that's constant.

No exaggeration but it's every 20-40 mins with the odd hour or so but that's it.

She has been snotty a week or so so I think where she has a dummy she finds it hard so then it comes out and then she needs resettling

Anyway my question is - when will sleep get better ?!

We are exhausted to the point where we both feel Ill. Hubby works and needs to sleep so I do majority of the night wakings but he does help as I'm constantly up and not sleeping!

Do we either put her back into our room or persevere? My head is saying keep her in her room but I'm so sleep deprived I don't know what to do

Co sleeping never worked for us - no one was sleeping well

Pls help!

We put our son in his own room at 6 months on the dot. First two nights, he slept through. 6 mo don't care where they sleep.

From night 3, for two months, he woke hourly. Every night. He would only be fed back to sleep at the time.

I think it was teething pain that made him stir, and his inability to self-settle made him wake up completely. Milk throughout the night gave him energy to keep waking up.

I was sleep training at the time, but only during the day because at night I was WAYYY too exhausted.

Coming up to 8 months I night weaned. It dramatically decreased wakeups. It wasn't immediate; it took a good week or two.

Some good news; he's now 18 mo, self settles, sleeps all night, and has done for a long time. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
