Hello everyone,
my DD is 5 months old (on Boxing Day) and has from around a week before Xmas been really unsettled sleeping. She used to sleep really well. She’d sleep from 8-10 wake for a feed and nappy change then go back down no later than 11:30 and sleep till 6:30 I admit I’ve been spoilt with this as she has from around 4 weeks old. She’s EBF and usually only wakes for extra feeds when poorly
with it being her first Christmas things have been extremely hectic been so busy hosting and visiting family and although me and DP tried to have rest days I admit it’s been so hard to keep her in her routine. Unfortunately she won’t sleep anywhere else and when we’ve visited else ware would only sleep in the car when driving which has thrown her naps.
She’s not yet rolling and is making attempts to try but hasn’t yet and is getting a lot more vocal she’s now babbling constantly which is so lovely to hear but not at 3AM when you haven’t slept lol 😂
My question is does this sound like sleep regression or is it more likely the disruption to the routine?
i love being her mummy but I’m really struggling with the lack of sleep and the constant demand for milk (as I feel I’m falling asleep during the night feeding her and really don’t want to one day fall asleep with her on me incase something happens)
Now my DP is going back to work from the Christmas holidays I won’t have the hour or two I’ve been getting in the morning to nap and catch up as he won’t be here. (I’d stay up with her past a certain point so he’d sleep then when she woke up in the morning I’ve been feeding her then going back to sleep with him taking over till she’s due her next feed)
thank you if you’ve read this far. ❤️
