My DD s 11 months old ... She s not good sleeper from birth... After 4 th month I started co sleeping to handle frequent waking... I nursed her to sleep till 10 th month... She wakes every hour... So I decided to stop breastfeeding and I achieved it. She was doing good for 5 days ... She slept longer and wakes twice at night.. I ll give her formula...

Now again she started waking frequently... I m going mad... I can't make her cry to sleep train her. I tried all ways to give her sleep . I m giving her 4 times meal a day... Early bedtime... Making her tired.. not making her tired... Almost everything I ve done expect CIO.. I literally don't know what to do now... I m in level of hurting myself becoz I m so depressed.. my dh s helping me in first half of night... But still I feel low becoz I can't get her good sleep...

Plz help... I m sure this s not phase... Becoz 6 months of struggle is not phase... It's not teething she already got 6 teeth... It's not hungry becoz I ll give dinner half an hour before bed... It's not tummy ache becoz she calm when I pick her n rock..

Plz advice... Many comment abt my parenting... I agree I m bad mother who s looking for way to make her sleep... I m showing my frustration to her... Plz help

No its definitely not unreasonable to expect a 11 month old to sleep more than a hour .

Also average age for walking is over a year around 14 ish months so this " usually " is also false imo

Gayu, you say you don’t get out very much? I know it’s hard but it could help with your mood even just to get out for half an hour for a walk a day, it always makes me feel better! Does your DD get upset when you are out, could you try taking her out in a carrier rather than a pushchair if that’s what you normally do?
