Any help/advice pleasešŸ™šŸ¼

My son is 7 months and waking every night, around 1:30/2, for 2hrs. This has been going on since the beginning of November. Heā€™s wide awake and nothing can settle him. Heā€™s not hungry, I change his nappy if itā€™s needed, Iā€™ve adjusted the temperature in his room in case heā€™s getting cold, Iā€™ve tried going in every few mins to soothe him, Iā€™ve tried leaving it longer between going in.. he just cries unless Iā€™m in there or I pick him up. If I pick him up he thinks itā€™s play time, babbling, blowing raspberries and smiling away. Sometimes heā€™ll drift off if I rub his back but heā€™ll wake 10mins later. He just will not go back to sleep until heā€™s had a 2hr wake window. And then heā€™s awake and ready for the day at 05:30 (sometimes heā€™ll go back to sleep till 6). Iā€™m exhausted, his Dad works nights so itā€™s all on me. He goes to bed at 8pm (previously 7:30 but I thought a later bedtime might helpšŸ™ƒ). He naps 2-3 times depending on what weā€™re doing in the day - no problem with naps at all. I donā€™t let him sleep past 5pm. Heā€™s absolutely fine going to bed and either puts himself to sleep or falls asleep with his bottle - it doesnā€™t seem to matter which. He doesnā€™t have a dummy. Iā€™m sure this is karma for skipping the 4 month regressionšŸ«

I downloaded the app called little ones and followed their schedules etc. My little girl has always been a good sleeper and all of a sudden a month ago it started getting so bad! Weā€™re 3/4 days in on the app and sheā€™s already sleeping through again! xx

@Charlee Thank you! Iā€™ll have a lookā¤ļø

An earlier bedtime might help x

@Chloe i honeslty wasnā€™t expecting it to help but they give a money back guarantee if you say itā€™s not working within a month so I thought why not! Itā€™s Ā£39 one off payment for up to one year not a monthly payment aswell! I thought thereā€™s no way it will improve before Christmas and I started using it on Wednesday and sheā€™s been napping better and through the night so much better! First app that Iā€™ve found has worked with me so when the schedule changes it changes and gives troubleshooting to help you know what to do! Trust me just give it a go šŸ„° got 3 days till Christmas so bub could be sleeping better and you can enjoy a glass of wine on Christmas Day without thinking my baby is going to wake up for 2 hours tonight šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ amazing your baby doesnā€™t have a dummy too because my daughter does and that can be a reason she wakes up! x

@Charlee I tried the huckleberry app which sorted his naps but wasnā€™t helping with the nights and itā€™s pricey! Iā€™ll definitely give it a go, canā€™t make it worse can itšŸ˜‚ He did have a dummy but started waking for it so I took it away.. improved his sleep for a few weeks before he decided we must have 2am partiesšŸ˜­ Thanks for your help - have an amazing ChristmasšŸ«¶šŸ¼Iā€™ll have a glass for you if it works!!šŸ˜‚x

@Katherine I have tried different bedtimes but Iā€™ll give it another go bringing it forward a bit and see how we get on. Thank youā˜ŗļø

Hi I have the exact same problem. We do earlier bed time at 7 ish but still doesnā€™t help. Hoping itā€™s a phase and she grows out of it!

@Chloe Iā€™ve only ever done the free trial on huckleberry but tbh because Hallie was a good sleeper I donā€™t think I probably used it properly šŸ˜… I was very sceptical but somehow itā€™s been working wonders on little ones but every baby is different! I put her in bed awake last night and she fell asleep on her own in like 3 mins! I honestly couldnā€™t believe it that is not my child! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ luckily Hallie hadnā€™t woken for her dummy the last 2 nights so fingers crossed sheā€™s getting used to not having it throughout the night when it falls out! Thank you lovely and you! šŸ„° Iā€™ve got my fingers crossed for you! xx

We use huckleberry and some nights he goes down as early as 6pm depending on his naps x

My little guy was like that for 3 weeks. He was really good since he wS born with night sleep (not so good with naps though which we have somehow fixed now). So i was shocked when he started waking up every 2 hrs. We transitioned to 2 naps and since then we are back to normal. He struggled a bit the first fee days with his new nap schedule but we are good now. Bedtime is also at 8 for us and last nap ends around 4:30pm.
