7 month old won't sleep through the night

[ellhancock]

My 7 month old has a really bad sleeping pattern. I try and have the same routine every single night and this isn't helping in any way. Seems to be waking up after an hour after going down and then wakes up every 2 hours after that. Please if anyone is experiencing the same or has any tips. Let me know. Feeling like the only one in the world at the moment :(

You're definitely not alone and your child's sleeping pattern is totally normal for their age. You must be exhausted though! Do you have a partner, family or friends that can help and support you? I've no real practical advice. We tried responsive settling with our eldest at around 14 months and it helped. Our daughter risk nine months and seems to be sleeping longer stretches now without us doing much. They're all so different. You're not doing anything wrong. Good luck OP.

I could have written your post this time 10 years ago. I was exhausted and thought my 7 month old would never sleep through the night. Miraculously, she suddenly stopped waking at about 8 months. You'll get there - just hard to say when as all babies are different. It won't last forever, even if it feels like it right now. Hang in there!

Mine both slept through the night for the first time just after their first birthdays. Your experience is very common, hang in there, it gets better. Do you have support?

My 10 year old still doesn't sleep through the night and never has done! 🥱😫

Thank you all so much for your replies. Fortunately I have support but my partner does night shifts which are long ones and my mum is not physically completely ache I'm tired help. My in laws dint do enough Rutgers so I don't bother with them. But yeah just makes me feel like it's never going to end. Hope you all manage a decent sleep too xx
