EXHAUSTED with 8 month old!

[Maya2920]

Hi good morning!

I’m not sure if I’m after advice or more to know that I’m not alone with my situation.

My baby is 8 months old and her sleeping is now the complete opposite of what it use to be and I’m exhausted! My baby won’t sleep in her cot.. you put her down and she’ll wake after 20 minutes and then you spend another 45 minutes putting her down and repeating until she just point blank will refuse sleeping in her cot. I gave up with her cot after speaking to health visitors as they suggested co-sleeping because I couldn’t go on with no sleep but co-sleeping is absolutely horrendous too. My baby fidgets all night and I’m constantly being woken (she stays asleep though) until 4am when she seems to wake every morning for playtime. I’m going through the night and waking up with my back, hips, legs and arms just hurting and I honestly don’t feel like I can keep doing this. I’m so miserable and just have no energy :(

Thanks

Not much advice to give but I'm in exactly the same situation! My daughter just turned 8 months and we moved her to a cot from her Snuzpod 3 nights ago and it's been awful! She's up every 2-3 hours and I have to BF her to sleep again. Like you I can't co sleep, it's so uncomfortable. Also my daughter has her first teeth coming through. I think there's a regression at 8 months too. I'm so exhausted and have a 4 year old. I have no idea how to deal with it!
