Help

I am so sleep deprived. I have a toddler who has been waking during the night which is not the norm and has a preference for me to put her back to sleep. And also a 14 month old who from the get go has been a terrible sleeper. We have tried everything regarding her sleep. Co sleeping, rocking and transferring, feeding to sleep, sleep training. All of it. She still wakes between 30 min and 2 hours. Constantly throughout the night. Even when most nights she puts herself to sleep. Both kids want me even though my partner tries so hard they just want mum. Not sure what I should do about her sleep or just surrender to the fact that she’s a bad sleeper. I’ve played with schedule but nothing seems to work.

Sorry you’re in this very challenging season. What Sleep Training methods did you try and for how many nights in a row?

We did a variation of Ferber, and it seemed to work for a couple of weeks and then then she’s gone back to needing extra help. It never stuck and would always scream and continue to wake. I think we have done it 4 different times

Your life sounds like my future 😅 following for advice… my 3yo was OK without me thru the nights, when i had a newborn but now that they are 3+ months i hear my toddler calling for me or having nightmares and waking every 2 hours… most of time cuddling his dad works but recently 3 yo cries and comes to me. Not sure what to try beyond co-sleeping toddler whilst newborn in cot… they don’t tend to wake each other up… at least yet … im hoping this is temporary as they are ill and our routines have got later recently
