DD has been in a solid sleep regression for 3 weeks now, spanning the 5 month mark. We also had a few weeks where she would fight sleep (screaming for two hours or so), but only maybe once or twice a week. I think that was probably the start of the regression…?
She used to go down around 8 (bedtime routine between 7 and 8, depending on naps) and would have a dream feed around 11 and another around 4. She is on medication so needs these feeds, although timings are flexible. In the past week we’ve started having hourly wake ups and it is driving me potty. She is in a Snuzpod and it’s like having a newborn trying to sneak her into it when she is asleep. She will sleep in my arms, on the change mat (🙄) and is currently lying next to me in the bed but I’m wide awake and up for the day.
I’m wondering if it is worth persevering trying to get her back into the snuzpod, or if I should just cut my losses and go for her big cot now. I would sleep in the nursery on the spare bed, so could still be in the room with her. I feel like it’s better to keep things familiar and consistent, but she is just so anti-crib right now.
Naps are contact naps 98% of the time (and I really want to support her to have at least one reliable nap not on me), but the timings have shifted recently and she has been out cold at gone 6 for the last few days - that’s the only time I wake her from a nap. I am not willing to cosleep with her - I have PND/PNA and I just cannot bring myself to do it.
