still not sleeping through the night....

BP607 · January 2015

Anyone else still not sleeping through the night? In fact it seems like the waking has gotten worse? I'm not talking about a growth spurt or something lIke that. Any of you that are so lucky to get to sleep all night how do you do it??: I bf , but lo gets bottles whIle away from me

[Deleted User] · January 2015

He wakes up more now than he did as a newborn (like 3x a night). Blah. But he also just cut his first tooth this weekend so I don't feel comfortable doing any sleep training (and he's not even 6 months yet anyway).

alohababy14 · January 2015

Yep. Still waking up 2-3 times/night. Also refusing naps.

reg202 · January 2015

Every 2 hours here. Though I just introduced brown rice cereal and I'm feeding now after a 4 hour stretch! I'm slowly trying to help her learn to self soothe but will do some legitimate sleep training once she hits 6 months in a month. I keep holding out hope that she can work into healthier sleep patterns on her own.

My goal is not sttn but to reduce to 2 and then 1 wakeup per night.

JuniperGaze · January 2015

Still every 1-3 hours here. Introducing solids didn't seem to help at all.

Kimmi1982 · January 2015

I'm in the 1-3 hour club. Solids didn't help us either. Nursing is the only way to get her back to sleep.

BP607 · January 2015

Yeah solids don't seem to help us at all and weve been looking for teeth, if nothing else but for an explanation and we've yet to get any

TexasGirl81 · January 2015

Yes. DS wakes up once, maybe twice per night. Plus, my 17 month old.....she has never slept through the night. I pray that your Lo's give you rest soon. It's a bitch!!

brooklynesque · January 2015

Mine was waking up every one to two hours. So we gave up and started bedsharing this weekend -- put our mattress on the floor and everything. I'm getting a lot more sleep now though I'm sure someday I might wonder if this was really a good idea.

PregsMcSnoozalot · January 2015

So I thought I was a baby whispering rock star when LO transitioned to the crib from the RNP with no problems the first night.

Welllllllllll, the subsequent nights have been hell on earth. Up every 1-2 hours and he's all like "what the eff is THIS!? This is NOT cozy! I demand to be nursed!"

So far I've resisted putting him back in the RNP, but if this is the new normal I am totally screwed.

lilnessi · January 2015

Same here. LO slept great (up to 7hr stretches) until about 4mths which is also about when we transitioned from RNP to crib..now she is up every 3 hrs. Waiting until 6 mths to start any type of sleep training though. was hoping that she would start STTN on her own but doesnt look like that is going to happen

VTKatie · January 2015

Up for 1-2 feedings and another 1-2 pacifier fixes. She is starting to self soothe, sometimes she fusses for a few minutes and will quiet back down. This is a huge improvement over where we were a month ago.

livkight · January 2015

Up 3x a night usually. She won't be rocked or soothed, just wants the boob. She slept SO well a couple of months ago, then this started. Hopefully we'll be back to sanity soon! LOL, though I doubt it...

ariel8200 · January 2015

Thanks for posting this, I'm in the same boat as all of you. Ugh!

honeybee434 · January 2015

Usually up 3x a night here, too. Every once in awhile I get 2 times, and often it's 4. Getting her to sleep at night is the worst. I'm so glad I'm not alone! I'm ready to not be a zombie at the office.

argonne · January 2015

DD will usually only wake once between 3-6 AM, but sometimes she's up 3 or more times. Luckily, she's easy to get back down and she knows how to fall asleep on her own.

Monicalynnsd · January 2015

Our little munchkin is waking up about 10 times within the first two hours of putting her down...and it goes on from there. She's had two colds in the past 6 weeks, I'm hoping it is related to this and will pass. Once the clock hits about 11:00 and she wakes up we take her in to bed with us, THEN she sleeps like a baby all night long. I'm just a little worried that we are starting a bad habit, but I can't deal with getting out of bed every half hour, and I don't think the baby is happy with all this waking up either, so bed sharing seems to be the temporary cure for us.

BPer · January 2015

Yawn. I'm in the same club.

He STTN 12 hours straight for 3 weeks at 3 months old, and for the last 3 months, he's been up at LEAST 1-2 times a night, every night. And his waking is actually getting earlier.

I attempted the moms on call approach of pushing back feedings by checking/soothing every 5 minutes of fussing, no luck.

We just came back from vacation on Saturday, where he slept til 5am 3 nights in a row, and stopped immediately when we got home.

Last night, out of desperation, I experimented with a little CIO with 1-3-5 minute checks and he was infuriated.

I am beyond the point of exhaustion. We were considering a third, but I can't even imagine that right now.

ghostof5letters · January 2015

We're up 4-8 times a night. Every.damn.Night.

That's crazy talk!

Kileyroesch · January 2015

Started sleep training cio and now he is up 2x down at 8pm- up at 1 am to feed them wakes around 7-8. Before sleep training he was waking every 2 hours to eat! Finally getting sleep!

chelseakae07 · January 2015

You ladies just made my night! My baby was an angel sleeper until 3 months old.. Since then, she gets up at least 2x every night. I'm too tired to not just shove a boob in her mouth

honeybee434 · January 2015

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose kid slept well prior to 3 months. I wondered if I had done something wrong that I didn't realize! I miss those 4-7 hour stretches!

reg202 · January 2015

I've told Dh that I won't start trying for another until she sttn. Not that we were in a hurry anyway but that's my new qualifier. I remember how exhausting pregnancy was...

Mamanorris81 · January 2015

My almost 3 year old doesn't SSTN yet. Soooooooo needless too say I'm up all night long between the two. God bless coffee! ~O)

ladytiffany24 · January 2015

Thank goodness for this thread! Makes me feel a little less crazy.

LO starts the night in her RNP (still haven't tried to make the transition to the crib) and then usually wakes up 2-3 hours later and I end up bringing her into bed with me because I'm too tired to care (of course we practice safe co-sleeping). But these days, even in bed with me, she's waking every 1-3 hours. Most nights I nurse her back to sleep.

DD is already 6 months old and I'm about to start some sleep training this coming Friday.

Anyone interested in me starting a sleep training thread for when others start or attempt to sleep train their LO's so we can document progress and offer support?!

BP607 · January 2015

I can't even begin to know where or what to do as far as sleep training goes! ZZzz

ariel8200 · January 2015

Yes to sleep training thread, but idk when I will start sleep training. I'd love to see what has worked and not worked for others.

honeybee434 · January 2015

DD has decided to scream now when she wakes up instead of just cry. Only thing that stops the screaming is me. Not DH, unfortunately. As much as I love that she obviously loves her mama, I would like it if she would love her dad, too. Running on about 5 hours of sleep today. Ugh.

Same here exactly. I thought I had an amazing sleeper until she hit just over 3 months. Little did I know.

You may not believe this but our LO ONLY screams. No crying. It's infuriating and nerve wrecking.

Agree with PP, third kid= not a fat chance. This one did us in.

DD is terrible at sleeping. Way too dependent on paci. I'm thinking of ditching that paci soon. Like this weekend.

January Bride · January 2015

Our DD has flat out refused to sleep at all the past 4 nights unless she is in our arms. Nothing works. We cannot live like this (taking shifts all night, every night). I don't understand why she is like this all of a sudden, but I have no idea how to get her to stop. Nothing seems to be working and my DH and I are both admittedly going a bit crazy.

PregsMcSnoozalot · January 2015

LO refused to sleep at all last night unless he was on the boob. I couldn't even take shifts, @january bride!! This is definitely what they call "unsustainable"!!!

Twinkelz3 · January 2015

For us the swaddle is the key to her sleeping TTN. She likes one arm free. Now if she breaks out that other arm its a rough night. Problem is, she can't be swaddled forever. I will likely be in the same boat as you girls next week since we decided we will transition her off....

redstar2148 · January 2015

Same here. Everyone swore it would help. He also rolls over to yummy now to sleep. And still wakes up a lot.
