I can't do these regressions anymore 😣

[MasterSensei]

I remember talking to a mum when my dd was 13 weeks and amazing sleeper. She said her ds was 10 months and had only just started sleeping as all his regressions had run into each other. I thought thank god there's no way that's my dd she sleeps amazingly!

Then she hit her 4 month regression and she woke every hour. That carried on until her 6 month regression and it went down to every half hour with crying. Now we're at 7 months with no end in sight. I feel completely defeated. I go back to work next week and I don't know if I'll cope. She's ebf and Co sleeps, my husband thinks maybe if we move herto her own Cot it may help but I know if I have to get out of bed to feed and calm her I actually will die.

Realistically I know it has to end at some point but I don't know how I'm going to carry on doing this 😔

Went through this with my twins - they slept reasonably well til 4 months and then it went to shit until 15 months. Could you try a co sleeper cot so she has her own space but you don’t have to get up?

Going through this now with my 6mo DS waking every 1 hour all. night. long. It’s fucking soul destroying isn’t it! I’m note sure mine is a regression though as he has never slept more than 2 hour stretches.

You're not alone OP - I'm going through the same thing! My nearly 5mo DD was sleeping through the night then boom starts waking every 2 hours. She's also EBF so my partner can't really get too involved at night. I'm in NZ and it's 3am atm - Mumsnet is my nightfeed saviour!

I've just downloaded the Little Ones sleep training programme and already having some success with moving away from feeding to sleep which apparently prevents DD from being able to self settle when she wakes in the night. I'd definitely recommend it and friends have had success with it too.
You get a nap time/awake time/feeding time schedule to make sure they're getting the right amount of day sleep and advice on how to move them towards self settling.

Either that or look up sleep consultants in your area that can help? My GP has a daughter the same age as mine and he said a sleep consultant saved his wife's sanity. Please don't just soldier on, help is out there! Good luck from one tired mumma to another x

Its odd becuse she can self settle in the day and at bed time. We have next to be crib so she isn't actually sleeping in our bed, I lay her down feed her and leave while she's still awake. She chats and then drifts off but she doesn't do it at night!
I wonder if she was in her own cot she would do that at night? But the monitor would still wake me up I think and I just don't know if I'm ready for her to leave. I guess something has to change!
I'll look at the sleep programme but I wonder how well naps will work when I'm back at work 😔

@sinkgirl you have all of my admiration! How you do all this with twins I don't know!! 😱

Are you already doing all the usual things (blackout blinds, white noise, sleeping bag for all sleeping)? I know how much it sucks - my boys tortured us completely by tagteaming us all night but one day they just stopped.
