Help with 8mth old not sleeping and tired mother

[Newdad13]

We have a lovely 8mth old boy. He has always slept very well during the night waking only once during night for a nappy change.

My wife has had real trouble to get him to bed and sleep and it seems to be getting worse taking 4+hrs. He also is only sleeping 30mins during the day. Plus now he is constantly moaning when awake. We keep saying it is because of the teething.

Also I must mention that my wife has started to get very depressed about this and showing signs of stress which I am sure is normal but I don't want it to get any worse

Hi

Don't worry you are not alone we have the same problems here!! DD slept 7pm-6am until a couple of months back then became the most hideous sleeper.

It's terrible and very stressful especially with lack of sleep.

Is she still breast feeding? And how many times is she fed in the night?

How does DD go to sleep at night and for naps?

I'm assured it will improve.....
