Hello lovelies,
I am at my wits end with my 7 month old . She is such a terrible sleeper and I am so sleep deprived and tired,feel so down all the time .
The global pandemic is not helping either ,we don't go out very much.
Basically baby girl is on 3 naps a day at the moment and each of those naps last 30 minutes max . Sometimes I pick her up and put her back to sleep for the early afternoon nap and we stretch that to 1 hour or so .
Nighttime sleep is terrible as well. She can't settle her self to sleep so I put her to sleep on my arms and then lay her in crib . Sometimes she falls asleep quickly,sometimes it takes ages to put her to sleep. Then she can wake up multiple times during the night . I feed her once around 2-3 am and she takes ages again to go back to sleep . I just can't take it anymore . I am not sleeping at all, I am not doing much during the day as she naps so little during the day and when she is awake she can't stay by her self for more then 10 minutes in her bouncy seat . Very active baby ,crawls and pulls her self up which means she can hurt herself anytime so I am continously behind her. Its just so frustrating I don't know what to do anymore .
Tried to sleep train her but she was so hysterical about it ,I stopped .
Apologies for this long thread ,I guess I just needed a place to vent a bit as well .
If any of you mums have any advise about getting her to be a better sleeper ,please help out.
