I don't think DS will ever STTN

in Parenting after a Loss
I have just accepted it. He is almost 7 months old. And not once has he STTNI. At around 3 months he would sleep from 9:00 to 2:00 or 3:00 and then be up every hour to two after that. But since four months, He never gives me a long stretch anymore. He is up three to four times most nights. I was hoping that starting solids would help, but nope. For those of you with bad sleepers, when did STTN finally happen. I would be thrilled with just one night time feeding. The only way I can get him back to sleep is nursing. If DH tries a bottle during the night he gets so mad he wakes himself up to the point it takes forever to get him back to sleep. And I don't think Ferber is for me.

    ((Hugs)) Sleep is hard.

    DS slept decently well until 4m then it was he1l. At 6m, it got better and we were up only once for a feeding and sometimes a few times for his pacifier. At 7m, he dropped his feeding on his own and we haven't looked back since.

    I didn't do any sleep training, but I did read Ferber. I used to say that I could never do Ferber but once I read it (and I was at the end of rope with lack of sleep), I was prepared to do it. Have you read the book? It might be worth looking into. If you are really opposed to that route, I hear the No Cry Sleep Solution gets recommended a lot.

    We are a week away from 8 months and she has never slept more than a 5 hour stretch, and that was maybe twice around 3 months. I miss sleep.

    I feel like sleep is totally hit or miss. Sometimes he sleeps great, other times he's up all of the time.

    I don't think mine is every going to STTN either. We are doing the no cry and it is working some but it is taking time.

    11m and even now we have bad nights.

    Same here. It's not uncommon for us to be up for the day at 4:30 or 5:00am.

    I'm sorry, that sucks.  With DS he was around a year when he consistently slept through the night.  DD isn't even close yet, but I am hoping she gets there before a year.  Maybe I should just hope she does it even at a year?  Boo.

    Some kids are just shiiity sleepers. I have one of those.

    I did a modified sleep training at 12 months b/c I was about to die from exhaustion. I'm very glad I did it and wished I did it sooner. Not exactly CIO. more like CIO lite.
