No sleep

My baby boy is 6 months hes always been really bad with sleep he used to have longer stretches of sleep around 4 months for a couple weeks. Recently it's gotten so so much worse he refuses to sleep at night sleeping at 2 or 3am. And he is still waking up multiple times throughout the night too. I'm just so tired of this now does anyone have any advice I keep seeing how everyone's babies are sleeping through the night and I just dont know where I'm going wrong

No advice but you aren’t alone. My LO will be 7 months tomorrow and sleeps maybe a 3-4 hour stretch the first part of the night then every 2 . After 2 or 3 am its hit or miss but hang in there . Everyone says it gets better 🤷🏽‍♀️💜

I agree with @Jonna - my baby is exactly the same as this. Yesterday she decided to have almost a full wake window in the middle of the night and was awake 2-3.30 🤯 I think it's easy to focus on the babies who are sleeping through (because yes, some do) as it gives us such a strong emotional reaction. But I do think in reality lots of babies' sleep is still a bit all over the place at this point (not that this makes it easier, it's so hard, I'm just there with you 😂)

If he's going to bed at 2 / 3 am, what time is he waking up? A good wake up time is key for a good sleep schedule. Typically an appropriate wake up time for a 6 month old is around 6 - 7:30 am, first nap beginning between 8 and 9. Also, the amount of day sleep is a consideration. If he's getting ready to drop a nap or has already dropped one, the previous schedule may not work for them anymore. Some babies though are just more prone to waking frequently - sometimes it just comes down to luck. Just thought I would put that out there in case it hasn't been considered. 😅

Feel your pain my little one was a fantastic sleeper but now he doesn't sleep at all until about 6am for a hour ISH he wants to constantly feed off me all night. he only catnaps in day to every now and then he'll fall asleep for 10 mins aswell I'm absolutely knackered x

You are not alone. My 5mo wakes up every single hour through the night, and needs to be constantly attached to my breast. He won’t take a pacifier st night. I don’t manage to make him sleep until 10pm and then by 6am he is ready for partying. I’m destroyed, I’m so sleep deprived that I’m dreading nights because simetimes I would shout at him (of course I won’t do it, but all my maternal instinct goes out the window). I’m currently looking for sleep trainings that are respectful and consider breast feeding because I can’t deal with this anymore.
