9 month old isn't sleeping well

[Curiouserandcuriou5er]

My 9 month old barely naps in the day. It's usually a couple of 30 minute nap on average. At night it's not been great for a while but recently she's up every hour.

Tonight I've been up since 330 and everytime I get her down she's up again in 15 mins. I'm getting no sleep. I breastfeed and do this at every wake up. I'm not up for sleep training.

I know it gets easier but if anyone is awake and can offer a word of support I really need it right now as I feel we're in a bad place with sleep.

She is the most wonderful baby in every way and I'm so lucky to have her...I just would like a bit of sleep!

I can't offer much advice because we're still struggling with a 16 month olds sleep! The only way we can get him to sleep long stretches is by cosleeping. It's not ideal, but at least we all get some sleep!

Where does she sleep? I had to start co-sleeping at 8 months as I couldn't take more of sleep starvation anymore.

Thanks @Olika @Vault4 I haven't tried co sleeping yet but I'm open to it. It just worries me about the covers / pillows. Do you just sleep without them?

@Curiouserandcuriou5er yes look into safe cosleeping.

I have no pillow for DD but I do use blanket that I keep adjusting when I wake up during the night. She sleeps on the second half of the bed that is against the wall and I am blocking her from the other side. At the bottom it might be worth having something to block her from falling if she keeps moving a lot while asleep.
I felt comfy doing this as since falling pregnant I always wake up when I move in the bed so I knew I am not going to roll on her or anything. I was worried of how I am getting her to sleep in her own bed once she is older but I did that without any problems last month. I just put her cot bed next to our bed with one side off so she can climb to the cot/to the main bed by herself. Our bed frame is very low though so it happens to be on yet same level with her cot bed.

Sympathies! My nine month old is very wakeful - usually hourly - and has been since November. We sidecarred a cot to the bed which helps a lot as I don't have to sit up and occasionally now she'll resettle with a cuddle rather than a feed. I'm back to work very soon and the sleep deprivation is affecting my memory and mood. But I know sleep training is not for us. We've just started working with a holistic sleep coach who looks at sleep, food, and nappy diaries to help figure out if there's another cause and is also helping us experiment with beneficial timings to maximise sleep (I would say schedule but this baby would laugh in the face of a schedule!). No improvements yet but she's got a cold and is teething...
