Settling for husband and not me

Hiya, hoping someone can help!

My 6m DS was an amazing sleeper up until about 5 months and then he regressed big time. For a while I brought him in with me but I hated it; neither of us slept well and it’s not something I want to revisit.

DH lives and works away all the time and comes back as and when he can. He has been back for the past week and DS sleep has been amazing. DH has put him to bed in his cot every night and he has slept straight through. Last night was my first night back by myself and I put DS to bed - he slept for 45 minutes and then woke up and wouldn’t go back to sleep. I had to hold him for 1h30 before he would be put back down. Similarly, he woke at 2.30 and had a feed and then would not go back to sleep so I ended up holding him again.

I feel so stressed with sleep because he just won’t do it for me and I am absolutely exhausted.

Can anyone offer any words of advice or help? It would be so appreciated!

Are you BF? Sometimes if they smell the milk on you, they want that.

I wouldn't take it too personally. Around the age of your DC sleep is notoriously haywire with teething etc. My two always went through a rough week or two them settled back to sleeping through.
