Why does my 7 month old chat and cry and sqwark after night feed!!

[SnowWhite26]

That really. Shares a room with older sibling and every night when he has a night feed he wakes up chatting shouting until eventually he crys. He self settles in day but finds it really hard to self settle at night . I really dont no what to do. Im so exhausted from having 2 of them in the day! Im really down i just want him to feed and go bk to sleep. I dont no what to do anymore! Why does he wake after a feed? Please help :( x

Anyone please? He went to bed at 7 woke at midnight fed amd chatted for ages then eventually settled at 1 but needed rest of bottle then woke at half 4. Shouting and chatting went in changed nappy as had poo'd (hasmt for ages in night!!)fed him. He sounded asleep put him down now hes shouting happierly to himself.i no that sounds ok but it will get cross again after a while as he cant seem to settle at night on his own. I get nervous he will wake his sister as is so loud. Im at my wits end why cant he be a bloody normal baby who wakes feeds and fucking goes bk to sleep!!! Does he nap to long? Coz he wakes at different times every day sometimes he sleeps for 2 hours in morning 2 hours lunch abd 2 hours afternoon. Sometimes less depends what we are doing. I thought sleep breeds sleep!!! Help me please in so tired xxx

I really feel for you but I'm no expert I'm afraid. Sleep deprivation is like torture and it makes getting through the next day like dragging yourself through treacle. It does sound like he's sleeping too much through the day to me if he's having that many long naps and it's a really hard cycle to break. Hopefully someone with some good advice will be along soon but just wanted you to know that someone is listening and I really feel for you and hoping things improve soon x

Sounds like my 7month old at the moment. Not every night, but some nights she’s just wide awake and wants to party after a feed.
She’s in my room and not a sibling to disturb though. I rock her (very determinedly ) back to sleep and she generally settles.
I think they just like to try us...

Hate to tell you but there’s no such thing as a normal baby. I’m up because of the same thing and mines 10 months old. I think he has moaned himself to sleep now but he will back up by 5:30-6. He always is 😩😩

Currently lying on the floor on my 1 year olds room singing her back to sleep.... it’s taken me approximately an hour to get her back to sleep at every night waking.
I don’t really have advice, but just to let you know your baby is perfectly normal, just very frustrating for you with another little one.
Although 6 hours (?!?!!) sleep in the day does seem like a lot!

Thanks for your relplies. I feel awful moaning as i no others have it much worse its just so hard. Especially as i no he can self settle. My older one doesn't seem to wake up! We put them together just to see about 3 weeks ago and touch wood been ok. Just makes me really nervous early morning.what are other ppls nap schedules?I just tend to go with what ever as gives me a chaxe to be with older one and he seems tired after 2 hrs sometimes. He can have cat naps throughout day especially when we are out xxx Thankyou everyone i am so emotional and grumpy and snappy and my husband is finding me really hard atm i think. He doesn't get it as is tired to but doesn't have to think about all this mum stuff going round in Ur head! Hes settled now but i no i wont go bk to sleep as head is whirling! Xx

Hello, I think the daytime naps are far too long. According to most of the sleep websites 7 month old babies need approx 15 hours sleep a day. So 12 at night (7pm - 7am) and 3 naps. The last one should just been a short half hour cat nap, have a wuick google and see.
Having said that, all babies are different so don’t take it as set in stone.
Hang in there, it sounds tough but won’t last forever
