6 month old NO SLEEPING:(

[Youngmumma21]

Hi everyone, just generally looking for any advice! I’m on night 8 of no sleep and literally feel like my body could just give up at any moment:(

Here’s the “background info” My daughter has been a fab sleeper up until this point from about 2 weeks old I had a very successful night time routine which I carried on when she went in her cot (at 4 months)

She has started having solid food originally only having baby porridge and formula, but is now having breakfast @ 9am (porridge) lunch @12ish (veg purée or /fruit purée) then tea @ 5pm (veg) she was having this for about a month with no issue.

I have just introduced sweet potato/ potato /rice and chicken to her diet could this effect her sleep? She doesn’t poo that often (maybe 2/3 times a week) is the food effecting that? am I feeding her to much? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A few days into weaning my DD sleep almost stopped, waking every 40/50 minutes. I stopped giving her tea and just dropped to breakfast and lunch as I’ve read that it’s too much for their stomach to process on top of milk. First night with no food after 3pm she slept normal. I’ve gradually started giving her a little bit more food every few days and she seems ok. She shouldn’t really need 3 meals until around 8 months.

Oh right, will definitely try no tea then! I only gave her breakfast today as well as her milk so fingers crossed tonight might be better.

Good luck! Let me know how you get on 👍🏼

Just and update, things have been lots better since I’ve cut down her food! I’m only giving her breakfast and lunch (if she’s awake for it) I’ve also increased the amount of “floor play” we’re doing. I still have the occasional bad night but no where near as bad as it was and actually managed to get 5 solid hours sleep the other night (yay!)

thank you so much for your advice! I don’t know how long I would of lasted the way things were.
