7 month old only wants to sleep ON me after 2am

[Iammeltin]

Hello,
not sure what to do!

My 7 month daughter goes down in her cot fine at 8pm ish. She’s usually falls asleep drinking her bottle and I transfer her. Even if she didn’t, she’s able to self soothe and go to sleep fine. Even for her naps.

She wakes or I give her a 2oz dream feed at 11pm and she goes back to sleep or stays asleep if it’s a dream feed until 2am.

Then she wakes up and won’t go back to sleep unless I pick her up and she can lay on me. She sleeps on her front so I can’t even put her in my bed. If I transfer her back after she falls asleep, she wakes up 30 minutes again and won’t sleep unless I pick her up and let her lay on me. Do I need to keep doing this?

I end up falling asleep with me on me as I am exhausted.

Not sure what to do?? Do I ride it out?
I don’t think I can sleep train at 2 o clock in the morning?? as she’ll wake up the whole household with her relentless crying (I’ve tried to leave her in the cot with me looking down and goes hysterical). I have a DS who is 6 and goes to school.
She’s not hungry otherwise she’d cry for milk but stops crying as soon as she’s with me.
Her cot is next to me.

Any chance words of wisdom or ideas what I can do?

Yes, I'd ride it out. 8 months was hands down the worst time for us - both of mine woke every twenty mins for a few weeks. I bed shared, and their preference was to lie on me but I found I could fob them off by rolling onto my side (with them still on my chest at this point) so that we were facing eachother side lying. And then if I could be bothered to risk it I'd shuffle back an inch for a little more space. But it did get better and without sleep training they sorted themselves out!

Yes it’s totally normal at this age and youre lucky to get till 2am! Just bring her into bed with you and get some more sleep. Everyone will. She’ll grow out of it eventually.babies are programmed to seek out comfort and contact from their caregivers, this doesn’t stop at night. Once she hits 12 months-ish things will change. Just don’t stress out too much about the independent sleep thing. Parenting is hard enough as it is 😴
