nearly 11month old not sleeping through

[MummaLeonax]

Any advice please been a very long time my son just doesn't sleep through at all he can wake up every 1 to 2 hours, constantly tossing and turning, can cry in the night for me to pick him up, I stroke him he can go back to sleep until an hour hes up again sometimes he will be up for hours, struggling of what I can do to help him seem to have tried so many things and nothing is working.

Sorry to say but that's completely normal. My little one is 2.5 and only randomly sleeps through when all stars align!

Worth checking out whether your nap schedule is still correct for their age now etc though as that may help

Normal to keep waking up every hour blimey 🙈😂 hes never slept through at all, I won't let him nap after 5 either cause then he will be up later than his bedtime at 8, thank you for your advice x

Waking up every hour isn't normal. Not sleeping through the night is normal but not waking every hour.

Maybe think of things like socks under babygrows? Might be cold and your touch is warming them up.
Shocking to some but are you running to them straight away or letting them have a little cry (a couple mins at most) and they could settle back off ie they’re used to you settling so can’t themselves.
This whole “so much time nap before they go to bed”. It’s what works for you, there was a time mine would nap and wake literally an hour before going to bed and sleeping through, try it, might work better.
It’s hard and I get it I had a total “none sleeper” but main thing is instinct, not so much what you see online but what feels right for you xxxx

My 18 month old has never slept through, it is unfortunately very normal!
Is he hungry/thirsty (do you offer milk at night wakings?), too hot or cold, is he teething, would he sleep longer stretches in bed with you?
I wouldn’t let him nap past 4pm for an 8pm bedtime x

Waking every hour at 11 months isn't normal. Assuming he is the right temp and is eating/drinking enough in the day it sounds like he can't link sleep cycles independently and is therefore waking up each time one ends and requiring you to go in to soothe him back to sleep.

What is his daytime sleep like? He might also be overtired if he isn't sleeping enough in the day - this can cause frequent waking too.

It might be worth a consultation with a sleep consultant for advice, or you could search on here/Google for advice re helping babies to link sleep cycles independently. And look at the wake windows advice to make sure he's sleeping enough in the daytime and not ending up over tired

My 17m old doesn't and hasn't ever slept through. When I accepted that it was normal it made it easier, least it felt like it as I stopped thinking my baby was broken and believing I had to fix something.

My LO woke every hr too but only when teething.

Good luck

Not sleeping through is completely normal, waking every hour is a bit much. Has he always been this or is it since the 8 month sleep regression? That lasted til 10.5 months with my youngest but shes 12 months now and only wakes up 3-4 times so there is hope! Good luck

Hes always been like this yet once he's in my bed he sleeps through i used to bring him into my bed when he was a couple of months old selfish i know but the last few months I've tried him in his own cot and he just won't settle at all I have tried so many different things and he is still not sleeping well, I didnt think every hour was normal 🙈 thank you everyone i think I am going to look into sleep training I just feel like im getting nowhere :( he naps fine, he eats fine, im starting to think maybe its seperation anxiety thank you everyone for your help x
