Intro and sleep vent!

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Hey all, I've posted sporadically on this board. I have a 7 month old DD (my 2nd). From 6 weeks to 6 months she slept like a champ. 11 he's a night, never woke ONCE during that time. At 6 months, I returned to work and all hell broke lose. 6 month Regression, dealing with me going to work, I have no idea what to blame it on. I averaging(!!) 2.5 hrs a night of sleep and am nearly delusional!!! DH travels a lot for work, and when home notices nothing MOTN. Honestly though, when he does wake and offer to help, I remind him that he's not lactating. I'm on week 5 of this now and am falling apart. I haven't had to sleep train her and hoping this just ends on its own.
Please tell me she'll get better again- this is baby 2 and I know they ultimately do improve but I am having nightmares of months more of this!!

    FX things get better for you soon. Have you tried co-sleeping? This way, you hardly have to wake up for MOTN feedings. Remember, this too shall pass.

    It sounds like the problem is that your LO is hungry throughout the night, right? Have you tried offering bottles of BM before bed to ensure that she's full? My LO feasts in the hours before bed, ~5oz bottles at 4,5, and 6:30. She started doing this on her own at 6 weeks so I'm not sure if yours would go with it but it's worth a shot.

    She doesn't always seem interested in eating but I tend to nurse her hoping she'll get a decent stretch in next and also, she falls back to sleep faster! I know, I'm creating a monster! I'm just so tired...she did sleep in our room until recently when we realized she was getting sensitive to noise from us. I'm too nervous to bed share. I am tempted to put her back in the rock n play for a while just to see if that helps! She slept so well in that! But then id have to transition her back out. We use a sleep suit- has anyone combined a sleep suit and rock n play?
