Sleep deprivation

[Hanns]

Anyone else out there really struggling to function on nearly no sleep?
My little on is four & a half months old & wakes most nights hourly. Which means I get very very little rest.
He doesn't even sleep much in the day so I never get to recharge.
Any ideas people have thrown my way I've honestly tried & given each idea a good four or five nights.
Guess I'm just wondering what to do & how to survive & function with so so little rest.

Have you tried white noise? A sling for day naps or just our in the pram? If he can have some sleep in the day it would probably help his nighttime sleep slightly

I have tried the white noise & not something that works for him.
He naps beautifully if I'm out walking with him in the pram which I do everyday & all weathers but really longer for a way to recharge myself too.
Thank you for response.

Oh its so hard!
How does your little one fall asleep? (I.e feed to sleep, rocked, cuddled)

It so so so hard. I'm right there with you and my 10 month old. Every night I say maybe it will be different. And it never is 🙈

Not that I'm an expert but what's your routine and what do you do when your baby wakes?

4 months is when I gave in and started co-sleeping. Like your little one, my baby was hit hard by the 4 month regression and most days I was dizzy and nauseous.
Look up safer co-sleeping guidelines and see if its something that could work for you x

Think I'm also struggling with the 4 month regression. Takes about an hour to put him to sleep he sleeps for about an hour then is awake and wants to play for maybe 2 hours before the crying starts. Tried everything nothing is working I'm exhausted and also have a 3yr old to contend with an a husband who goes to work early doors. I want to cry most nights.

I can relate I’m so crap on a few hours sleep -emotional no energy. I’d love one night all to myself and a lie in , but then I feel bad thinking that because I’d just worry about him if I left him anyway even at 6 months, &don’t get me wrong I love looking after him it’s just the sleep! If you’ve had a really bad night I’d just stay at home if I was you at the most take baby for a walk ...at this age there happy playing at home and you can put the tv on for yourself. I don’t care if people think it was lazy either after months of sleep deprivation I’m making the most of it before babies are on the move 😄

Oh and I’m not saying I never play with my baby I do that aswell 😂
