Help! 6mo still waking hourly

[solitudehiker]

I am sooo tired 😩

DD2 is 6 months now and still waking literally every single hour overnight. Like clockwork. Feed back down then up again an hour later. DH is “shattered from work” and somehow sleeps through the crying 🙄 so it’s just me doing every wake up.

I thought by now we’d be getting some longer stretches. She naps ok in the day if I feed to sleep but at night it’s just relentless. I’m like a zombie on the school run and the big kids have basically lived on fish fingers this week.

Is this normal at this age? Or should I be trying some kind of sleep training? I don’t know if I can do controlled crying I just end up sobbing with her but I can’t keep going like this I’m so done in.

Please tell me it gets better soon before I lose my mind 😂

So the good news is that it's totally normal. And the bad news is that it's totally normal 😂

It is really hard. Both of mine woke between every 1-1.5 hours until they were about 11 months old (apart from a hideous couple of weeks around eight months when they woke every twenty mins 😵‍💫). But they are beautiful sleepers now. I didn't do any sleep training, we bedshared until they naturally slept longer periods and then I moved back into my actual bed and left them sleeping on a double mattress on the floor. Around 14 months they would be put down awake, go to sleep themselves, and sleep through. They just got older.
