My 6m old just cannot sleep through the night. Not even close. She NEVER has. The best night I've ever had is 2hourly wakes and the worst 10/20 minute wakes.
I've done the sleep courses and feel like I've tried EVERYTHING. We have moved her to her own room now in the hope that things might change. I completely did my back in by simply getting up so much in the night and being with her all day.
In the day time I laugh with people about how awful it is but at night I am honestly suicidal. My husband is really helpful, but even when he does half the night we are still both up. It takes me so long to fall asleep because I just feel like she's about to wake up (and usually does.)
Things I can think of that I've tried (for weeks, if not months...)
-routine bath etc
-pitch black room
-formula night feeds
-white noise
-good day naps
-sleeping bags,swaddles,sleepyheads.
-dummy
-feeding to sleep/not feeding to sleep
-big cot/little cot
-early bedtime/late bedtime
I don't know if I even can be helped or just comfort in that someone else has the same?
I am genuinely at the end how can anyone possibly go on with 2hours sleep a night for 6 months.
