Baby sleep

[Lijay1]

Not sure if I'm after advice or solidarity but my 10 month old is sleeping worse than ever 🫠

I'm lucky to get an hour or two stretch at a time. He wakes up crying and I've gone back to feeding at night (formula fed)

Routine in case I'm getting it wrong and someone has advice:

Wakes 6am - can be earlier
First nap 9:30-11
Second nap 2:30-3:30
Bed -7

Otherwise anyone else just really struggling with sleep so I feel less alone? I have friends who have babies the same age and they either sleep really well or they tell me it's bad but have one wake up a night and I'm just like..... I wish I had to just wake up once and he'd go back to sleep. I've gone back to work as well and my God I'm exhausted.

Are you feeding every time he wakes? Mine did this for a looong time. After two months I stopped feeding at night, and after a couple of weeks wakeups completely stopped.

I was trying to get him to self settle (which he did at the start of naps), so at night I would pat him gently with white noise. If that didn't work I picked him up and rocked him for a while. Failing that, fed back to sleep. After a week your should see a dramatic improvement, but it is hard going for a while

Not every time he wakes, he wakes a lot! But I do tend to around once or occasionally twice a night. I guess you're right and he could be waking thinking he's going to get milk.

Hi, I'm so glad I saw this as I have a 8month old baby who is awful at sleeping at night! He is up every 2hours or can even be 40mins-1hr. He has been like this since birth so I am not convinced it is a regression.
He often wakes up between 5/5:30am and always does a poo!
I have no idea why he is up either so much at night but I am now beyond exhausted and feel as if I have tried everything now.
He is my second child and my first wasn't great but randomly got better and learnt to suck on his comforter to get back to sleep around eventually but he was never as bad as my youngest!

I am hoping mine might get better once he starts crawling but who knows

Have you tried doing a bigger lunch and then small/light dinner as I saw someone suggest that this can help and slowly start making dinner bigger...might be worth a try.

I hope it gets better for you but you are not alone. I often feel as if I am or doing something wrong as I read so many things of baby now sleeping through.

Can I ask what age you stopped offering the milk at night as I have considered this a few times as my last resort

I have a 10 month old and I have just followed the baby sleep solution book (I think that's what it's called, by Lucy Wolfe).

She hasn't slept day or night since birth pretty much and now she is. I can't explain what has been so different - I've basically cut all feeding to sleep associations and followed a stricter nap schedule - 1st nap 2 hours after morning wake up, 2nd nap 3 hours after waking up from 1st nap and bedtime 4 hours after waking up from 2nd nap. I've nightweaned purely because she stopped waking up at night.

In hindsight, I actually think I was over feeding her (breastfed) since she woke so often and was making her uncomfortable. Such a vicious circle!
