only 2 hours?!

Hey ladies!
So my son is having the worse time sleeping at night. He takes naps and eats great during the day. We still breastfeed and we cosleep. I try to get him down around 8830pm and he sleeps til 11midnight, wakes up nurse.From then on he wakes up every 2 hours. The past couple nights hes wide awake for 2 hours. Help.. I don't know what else to do. I'm tired, he's tired, and my husband works overnights so he.can't help.

  • So glad someone is dealing with the same :
  • See the sleep help post below. Maybe your baby is sleeping too much during the day and has days/nights confused. How long are day naps? How often ?

  • His first nap is normally only a hour or so and his afternoon is normally 2 to 3 hours. I tried skipping his last nap a couple times and he gets super cranky and seems to sleep worse at night
  • based on the 400 posts I've read (because we've been in sleep hell for a while) I got to think there is something that happens at this age - there is a sleep regression for sure.  I've decided to try a few things to prep for weaning from the boob at a year and trying to get her off bottles as well  - so I'm changing up my night time routine and also trying to get her out of our bed all night.  (So I won't be much help if you want to continue to cosleep and nurse to sleep)

    My baby is also up for 1 - 2 hours just up in the middle of the night - its unnerving for me because its NOT normal.  She's also decided eating is really not necessary (night or day) - so who knows.  I put toys in her crib and let her play it out.
