Exhausted mama

So, my little girl is almost 6.5 months and I'm honestly feeling so shite right now 😔. She's never been a baby that's slept 12hrs overnight, the most she's done is about 9 (I think) but lately it's just been terrible. She was going to bed around 7-7:30 and generally waking once in the night, then going back down (self soothing) until around 5am, but this seems to have gone out the window lately! She has a cold at the min, but I think she's going through a period of separate anxiety at bedtime as she will scream when being put to bed and wakes almost hourly in the night screaming. Anyone else's baby going through or been through this? Struggling so much right now with it.

Mine did this the last two nights and I found his bottom tooth is coming through.

My baby already has 2 bottom teeth and no signs of any others at the min 😔

My son is 2 now but was the worst sleeper ever every 40 minutes he would wake up! Especially around 6 months onwards . I think it’s just all a mixture of teething and all the new skills they are learning and then they are starting proper food . It’s a very busy time for them 😩Sending strength I know it’s so frustrating but you will get through it ! Ps my son sleeps the full night now so there is hope

No advice but going through the same hence why I’m up at this hour! Due to the temp drop she has a little cold her I think her teeth her coming through so a double whammy! There’s light at the end of the tunnel - so I keep telling myself ♥️

No advice but my son has done that since he was born 6m ago. So I haven’t slept more than 2h on a row since. If it last long, you will adapt. The brain somehow survives to sleep light with many interruptions.

My little girl isn’t too bad to sleep and goes to bed around 20…21 but this last days struggles to fall asleep and so far what I do is lie with her on the bed and cuddle her sideways until she falls asleep then I read my ebook. Other night put her on the carrier and walk the room until she falls🫠 hopefully is just few days more
