It is! Are you bfing? If so - would suggest cluster feeding before bedtime. That can give you maybe an hour or two more

dd all of a sudden started sttn all on her own. Now she's up to at least 8hrs at a time without dh or I doing anything different. It will happen on your lo's own time. So hopefully that is sooner rather than later for your sake.

i dont know that you'd be willing to try this, but ds was only sleeping 2 hours at a time. we started letting him sleep with us in our bed & he now sleeps 4-5 hours at a time.

GL!

Yes, I'm ebf. I've tried cluster feeding, but it doesn't seem to help too much. She sleeps in her crib in her room until about 5am, then she sleeps with us. During that time she is very restless, so I'm not sure cosleeping would help. I would LOVE something to work though...4 hours would be heaven!

It'll happen! Both of my girls took longer than a lot of Nest babies seem to take, but they both eventually got to where they'd sleep at least 4 hours at a time. Sleep deprivation is awful, so do what you can to get by, but know that the first year FLIES by, and that it'll seem like two seconds from now that you'll be getting teary-eyed as you plan your little one's first birthday party. You'll barely remember how tired you are now, believe it or not! Hang in there!

Hmm have you tried giving a warm bath before bedtime?

It totally is! My little guy is sleeping through the night now, at least 7 hours a night. The time WILL come, I promise.
