Hi everyone,
Im posting as I would like some advice as Im super tired and not sure I can continue with the current nightly wake ups.
DD 2 is 9 months shes a content and happy baby during the day but at night seems to be unable to self settle.
Current routine
7am wake up
7:30- bf
8:00- breakfast she loves her food and eats a lot still manages to decorate the floor too though😂.
8:30ish- play
9:30-11:00- nap 1
11:00- play
11:30- bf
12:00- lunch
12:30-1:30- outing/activity/ walk
1:30-3:00- nap 2
3:30- snack and bf play time
5;00- dinner
6:00- bath, lotion, story
6:45-7:00- bed
For a while this was working with small blocks of sleep 2- 3 hours waking up usually trying to latch.
Now she seems to be up sometimes every 30 minutes to an hour sometimes the minute I place her in the cot she wakes and is upset. The room has a black out blind, white noise playing and she also has a dummy and we make sure the room is cool. Dh and I sleep in this room.
If I pick her up and cuddle her she will fall asleep on me. She is currently asleep on me atm as its the only way she will settle but as a result im getting very little sleep at night as I am not very comfortable with co- sleeping.
Any advice?
Possibly considering moving to her own room but not sure if shell just continue to wake constantly.
Does switching to formula help? Lots of people I know seem to think she can smell the milk.
DH often works nights so its not always an option for him to settle her.
