We're still not sleeping

[Meepmoop]

New thread for those whose babies are avoiding sleeping through.

My DS is now 11 months old today..

Poor yous hopefully it's better tonight.we are in the middle of moving house so hopefully it'll make wee guy tierd 😊

Despite the good advise I still haven't slept more than a 2h block last night. I wake up with every little cry of hers. DH doesn't hear her which make me even more alert because he is more kind of in charge this time. First night was heaven. Only 2 wake ups to feed, no cry in between. After that she has been feeding 3 times overnight, and does cry between but self settles in less than 2 min. I am only suppose to feed her 2 times... But she seemed hungry... So instead of reducing to one feed I've actually managed to increase to 3... But still, better than before that I couldn't count them. Yesterday she barely cried so fall asleep in the night. But today she cried for nearly 40 min. It breaks my heart. I'm so happy DH is doing it with me this time, I wouldn't manage to carry on by myself. She slept 1h30 in nursery as well, which is very very rare! But then harder to settle for the night. Seems it will takes us a while to get a balance between naps and nights....

How was last night @Bartos?

I've finally bitten the bullet and have started sleep training myself. It took 50 minutes but he's asleep for now...
I had to put headphones in with an audiobook so I didn't go crazy. I sat next to him the whole time so I could lay him down when he stood up. Kept my eyes closed pretending I was asleep. Fingers crossed he stays sleeping

How are yous "sleep training" or at least trying to get them to sleep nothing seems to work on this wee guy

@NotSoThinLizzy I've made my own plan. I'm giving him his evening bottle and then putting him in his cot. I'm sitting right next to the cot but not looking or engaging with him. When he stands up I'm saying shh it's bedtime goodnight and laying him back down. If he gets really distraught I'm picking him up but not making a noise or rocking and putting him down as soon as he's calmed I'm putting him back. I only did this once though. Took 50mins and he slept for 6hours woke up, I did the same again and he went back to sleep after 30mins with much less noise

I'm going to give this a try when he's in his own room (just moved house) last night was bad would only sleep while I was holding prop with everything going on

Thought we were getting somewhere but DS has been awake since 1.40. He's in his cot and not on me which is an improvement but he just won't fall asleep. He seems to be trying his best to fall back asleep, lying down not moving but he just can't seem to drift away. Not really sure what I can do.

It's my birthday tomorrow so this is a great birthday present from him!

I think this is my place. Ds is 4 months and just doesn’t go to sleep at night till about 1 , which is an improvement from 2-3-4 ish! I have a 3yo so they are long days when he’s not at nursery!

How's everyone getting on?

We either have terrible nights or good nights, I don't seem to have an in between

Anyone else still not slept? 

Awake here for the 7th time tonight! Not convinced he has any intention of going back to sleep now

I feel your pain @upthewolves
DD 5 months old, finally asleep now but she will be up within 30 minutes. Is there any point trying to sleep? 

It is exhausting isn't it? DS is one next week and I think we're still in the 4 month regression!

DD (3 months) slept at Grandma's last night and did her first sleep through  so I had a margin of hope that she'd continue tonight but has actually been up twice to feed and countless times of just tossing about in bed, which she hasn't done for weeks. Typical.
