FTM sobbing session. 12 week growth spurt Help!

[Katekoom]

Dd is 10 weeks but was 1 week 2 days late so as far as growth spurts go she's 11 weeks.

We've def hit a wall with sleep and I'm just sat here crying.

She's gone from sleeping 5-8 hours and then another 2-4 to almost hourly waking.

She's EBF and def needs to stuck to sleep but it hasn't posed this much of a problem before. She ranges forever to drop off and where i used to be able to pat her off to sleep in her crib, she's now refusing to play ball

I know it's the work of the growth spurt, but im done for. I feel almost faint with exhaustion.

I was just about to Implement sOme ideas for changing her sleep association, but it seems daft to try that whilst she's so fussy

Did your lo struggle with sleep changes at this age? Did s/he improve again?

I don't really have any proper advice because both of mine have been s@%t sleepers but I just wanted to give you some virtual hugs and say that I know it seems bad now, but it's early days and it will pass. My now 5 year old has to be dragged out f bed kicking and screaming in the mornings and he used to be a total sleep monster. It won't last forever, there is light at the end of the tunnel and it's very early days. Hopefully someone here will have some more practical advice but hang in there mummy and drinks lots of coffee ;)

My dd is 11 weeks and going through the same growth spurt and I am so tired :( I get two hours around midnight then from 1 - 5 she feeds every 45 mins to an hr, am sure part of the frequent feeding is dislike of going in her cot but i can't cosleep so no choice.
Something that helps a bit is that DH goes to sleep once dd is sleepy for the night around 9ish. I then wake him up at 5am to take dd. he sits up with her and she tends to go longer between feeds being held when asleep. He gives her back at 8:30 so I get 3 hrs of sleep then on a good day...and even if she still feeds every hour it's so much easier when he's bringing her to me, doing the burping after etc so I maximise the (interrupted) sleep

Try feeding more frequently through the daytime.

Work hard on daytime naps because better daytime sleeping results in better night time sleeping.

If she likes sucking, try a dummy.

In the daytime, a bouncy chair allows for easy bouncing back to sleep.
