Well im in bed with her by 9pm because i dont get off until 7pm. Shes in bed with us but i have a friend that her son sleeps with them and still fully sleeps
In the same boat… we have good days where she only wakes once (rarely), decent where she only wakes like 2 or 3 times, and then horrible where she wakes up like 6+ times or every like 40 minutes. Last night was more so on the bad side she only woke 3 times BUT that third time she was trying to stay up n play so after a while of me laying next to her trying to get her to sleep i said screw it and let her just lay next to me staring in the dark while i go back to sleep. She ended up going back to sleep cuddling me at some point lol
You can't really compare your kid to others. Everyone is different! Maybe one of you snores or moves too much and it wakes her up. Is getting her in her own bed or room a possibility? The longer you wait, the harder it will get. But it will be better for both of you in the long run. If not, try a few fans or white noise machines to drown out some sleep noises.
@Ari omg so im not the only one that is going through this. Same with us... most days its 3-4 times. Rarely its 2. Im keeping praying that it stops soon
@Cara we move in a few months and thats when we will start putting her in her own room. We will buy her bed at that time
My LO is almost 21 months and the only thing that changed her sleeping pattern was fully weaning her from nursing. If you are still nursing that may help to wean. Before i weaned her she was up 4-8 times a night and i started having psychotic episodes due to the sleep deprivation. It’s so hard but you can make it through this. It also helped to have my husband start being involved in bedtime and waking up to help at night. I wish you the best of luck Mama!
@Haley i am still nursing and when she wakes up she just wants to be on my boob. My husband tried to take her but she just cries and cries. How did you wean your LO off ?
@Dee yess girl her average is 3-4 times too smh rn we have two full sized mattresses on the floor opposite ways so like an L shape and for the most part she sleeps on one bed while we sleep on the other and when she wakes up in the middle of the night one of us goes and cuddles her back to sleep then comes back to our bed lol (we take turns getting up) but nights like last night i never went back to our bed i just stayed in hers and went to sleep next to her lol
@Dee we’re moving late June/early July and that’s when we plan on having her sleep in her own room so hopefully that works out and she ends up sleeping through the night lol
Same
@Dee but yea only thing i could think of is weaning her off night feeds if you can or feel comfortable with that. My daughter wakes up for whole milk in the middle of the night so as of last night we’re trying to wean her off of that and hoping that stops her waking in the middle of the night
I was forced to wean off night feeds due to Injury but have found my two year old only wakes once in night now instead of three or so times, however that one time they wake we get up because they won't go back to sleep without boob so it's been rough
What's your current schedule and sleeping set up? What have you tried already?
