10 month old still wakes in night.

[Katiefi]

Hi.

Thank in advance for reading this.

As the title suggests my little girl wakes in the night still. I haven't had one full nights sleep.

I feel I have genuinely tried everything. When she wakes she's hungry so it's not like I know she's just waking for attention. She's a semi fussy eater, as in when she's not with me I. The day she will never finish a bottle, but will always eat all her actual food. I've tried different sheets, I've tried changing her sleeping bag to ones with arms, ive tried those sleep patches (waste of money don't buy 🙈)

Any suggestions would be very helpful
Thanks again

Oh I’d say that’s very normal! Do you have a partner to share the wake ups with?

I hate to tell you this but my 2 year old is still getting up in the night. We've tried literally everything and we had a stretch of 4 months of her sleeping through last summer which was amazing but never since. Not here to piss on your chips, more for solidarity. It's hard mama. My partner is infamous in his family because of how bad his sleep was as a child till he was 4 so I've basically made my peace with the fact that this is us now 😅

Ok, thank you for letting me know it's "normal". Yes my fiancé is very good. So it helps a lot

Thank you for your response. People say not to compare but I definitely do, it's hard not to. Thanks again.

This won't help you sleep better but my almost 3 year old still gets up 50% of nights just for me to go in and reassure him he's okay! He woke up about 5 times a night right through to just over two and has settled to once a night half the time now. It's tiring mama and there's nothing we can do but ride it out 🤍 your dd is very likely to grow out of it earlier than my ds tho! Most my friends kids sleep by now. Good luck!

One tip tho, don't give in and break routine as this just leads to a whole heap worse sleep. Although he's always woken up ds has always gone down no problem at 7pm and knows he won't get out of bed until the next morning. No matter what happens he won't leave his room I will just go in. So even now he's in a bed he won't get out of it and come to my room. That's one saving grace through the tired!

It’s completely normal, if she’s hungry then feed her and hopefully she settles quickly for you. My 1 year old wakes at 4am. She went through a stage of sleeping through but some nights she doesn’t want to sleep at all.
It’s good your partner helps!

Comparison is the thief of joy OP and yep it's basically impossible not to compare. Something I really regret from when DD was smaller is that I tried to 'fix' everything all the time as everyone else's babies seemed to sleep through from 3 months. Now though I know all kids are different and some just don't work it out till they're bigger. One day they'll be teens who we can't get out of bed and all this sleep deprivation will be a distant memory

I’m in the same boat. At least my 10 month old is usually only on one wake-up a night now for a feed. Well, I’d say 5 days out of 7 it’s only one wake-up. But if it’s more than one he does go back to sleep with a few pats.

I’ve just kinda accepted this is how he is. My girl slept through from 4 months and I’ve not done anything different.

God, I’m so tired though. I have to go to bed at 9 every night. I

My second son had a routine like this, he was asleep at 8 pm every night and awake at 2 am wanting a bottle. Like you I found exhausting every night and I must admit I went to bed at 9 pm just to get a good 5 hours before he woke. Fortunately after a bottle, nappy change and a cuddle he would go back to sleep. He was around 12 months old when he finally slept through.

Some babies will continue waking every night for 3 years. My children all slept all night but dgs woke every single night until well over 3 years.

Thank you all for your responses. It's put my mind at ease knowing that this is normal.

Very normal, 10 months is still very young. My 2 year old still wakes every night
