Feel like I’m going insane
I’m struggling so much with the lack of sleep when will this end! My boy has never slept well - most nights I’m up 6/7 times and it’s been that way his whole life, waking every 2h is a good night, bad nights can have hours of every 20mins and stretches of being fully awake crying and nothing I do fixes anything! I’m so sick of it!
He was always at least a happy chilled baby in the day it was just the nights but now my happy baby is grumpy, moaning all day nothing seems good enough I just don’t know what to do anymore 😫

@Emma I’ll send you a message - I’m willing to do anything but he has a pretty stable routine and did a modified ferber when he was about 5m which has helped the going to sleep initially but not through the night … he puts himself to sleep but through the night he can’t seem to sooth himself and often wants feeding I’m at a loss and definitely at the end of my tether!

I got to this stage at 5 months, I felt like everything I tried just made her worse. Our LO cried so much I constantly thought she was ill but she was only ever inconsolable when she was tired. Then our issue was waking on transfer, I’m talking 90 % of the time. It was the night when I got her in her cot at 6am that was the final straw. We moved her to her own room, did a routine, placed her in her cot and walked out of the room. Used the Ferber method and havn’t looked back. It’s horrible for those first few nights, but things improved very very quickly. She now does 4-12 hour stretches and is so much happier she’s not constantly overtired. There’s help out there, contact your health visitor for other methods or drop me a message if you want to chat. Just my opinion but if he’s been like this since birth, it’s not going to change unless you make the change and it sounds like you’ve reached the end of your tether
