Hello! I am at my whits end. 8.5 month dd has been super alert since she arrived. No sleepy newborn phase. Cue phase of can’t put down without screaming.

She’s now 8.5 month and we are still struggling with sleep (although other things are much more manageable).

She can and will regularily have just 1 x 30 min nap a day and be happy as Larry. Rest assured I have tried everything so I don’t need suggestions. i offer naps as I should. Sometimes she will do two naps a day if I am lucky.

If I do get her to nap outside her cot she’s so very particular / alert. For example if she is in the sling I can’t even stop walking or contemplate sitting down and she is wide awake.

At night she will be “in her cot” for about 11 hours, but she still wakes up every 2/2.5 hours.

I feel like I can’t switch off ever! Anyone else in the same boat?!! :D

Your title says 'help' but you don't need suggestions?
