To not sleep train

[georgie262]

Hi
I have three children. I thought that my eldest two slept really well was down to my awesome parenting skills. I was more than a bit smug.
Anyway, my youngest baby is a horror at night. She's 10 months and goes down well at bedtime on her own in her own cot. However, she can wake up anywhere up to 7-8 times a night. Always ends up in my bed. I can deal with the night wakings but she can be awake 3 times before I've even gone to bed and I get hardly any evening.

My questions is to the mums who have had babies who woke up as often as this and DIDNT sleep train.

When did it get better because I'm knackered? Absolutely done in.

At night I try to not feed her back to sleep even though I know it works (I think it was making the wakings worse) but I do rock her and co-sleep.

I was going to start another thread but remembered I'd started this a couple of weeks ago. Baby is getting worse at sleep she woke up just before 10pm and is now wide awake. Co-sleeping isn't working she just wants to roll round my bed - if I try and hold her close to me she screams and cries. She won't be rocked she won't take any milk. I honestly don't believe controlled crying would work , I think she could cry longer than I could stand it. I have two other children to think about as well. My DH has been useless tonight (he's usually wonderful but is very stressed at work) he's taken himself off to sleep in the couch in a huff - at her ad at me.
I'm back at work next month and I don't know what to do. Last night she was wide awake from 9-10, 2:30 - 4:30 then awake at 6:30. I'm literally a zombie. I was supposed to be having a night out with some friends tomorrow and I just can't face it. Does anyone have a Magic wand?

Was searching for some advice and came across this. @georgie262 just wondering how you are getting on?

We no sorry, she’s still exactly the same. No that’s not fair she’s a bit better, she’ll generally only wake once in the evening and will settle easily but when she wakes innthe night she’ll either settle really quickly or be awake for 2 hours. I’m used to it now though. Post-sleep - I don’t need it now I’m so used to not having it. Sorry that’s not the answer anyone wants

@georgie262 thanks for the update. Sorry things haven’t improved. We’re still going through 3-10 wake ups a night too with a 2 year old. One day they will get there and who needs sleep in the meantime eh!?

A-fucking-men sleep is for the weak
