Sleep is the worst it’s ever been

I cosleep and feed to sleep every night to avoid this or my son would wake every 30 minutes all night. My son was also teething on and off from 3 months and only now at 7 months have his first two teeth popped through. If you’re able to safely cosleep, maybe get a floor bed, it could save your sanity. I honestly wish I’d never bothered buying a crib now 😂 If not then I hope it gets better soon 🫶🏼

@Skye same, Our 7 month old was doing this and waking every 20mins. Now he has two teeth that have come through his gums so we are guessing that’s what it was. But we also co-sleep because he hasn’t slept well in a crib since he was 3 months old, meanwhile he has an amazing crib that turns into a toddler bed lol

My little girl is exactly the same never been a great sleeper but even worst at the min! Think she is teething, we are co sleeping too only way I can get some sleep! Hope you’re okay, you got this!

Thank you everyone! I’ll just try to push through it. I know it’s harder for my baby than it is for me. I feel like so much is expected of babies once they turn 6 months, like their sleep will get better etc. but that doesn’t seem to be the case for us.

My 6.5 month old is the same! Gives me comfort reading these posts that we're not alone in this. He doesn't like his cot, wakes up so often or wakes on transfer that I have to co-sleep from 11pm to have a chance of getting any sleep. I'm worried about how to get him sleeping in his cot more, but not a clue how to do it and at what point I give into cosleeping enough to sell our bed and get a floor bed🥲

The main problem with co-sleeping is the risk of SIDS, but if you do it safely then it can save your sanity and make you a better, more rested, mum for your baby - which in the long run is the better option for baby. And 90% of SIDS cases happen before the age of 6 months, and the risk decreases with age. Co-sleeping safely is a good option for both of you to get some sleep, and also to build on the bond.

@Sarah could’ve written your message myself 😂 we also have a nice little crib that turns into a toddler bed but my son doesn’t wanna hear it! He’s also just had two teeth pop out haha! Sending solidarity and good vibes to you 😂 🫶🏼

@Skye I’ve tried to train him for his crib but within two minutes it’s “mom mom mom mom mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

@Sarah bless you both! I was putting my son down for his first stretch of sleep in his crib but the 30 mins wasn’t even worth getting back up for 😂 I’ll just bedshare until he’s much older I think. No point making life harder for myself haha!

@Skye exactly how I feel, no climbing over to get him I just turn and can tend to him at night 😂 will probably wait until he is two or three and enjoy it now

I totally agree about the benefits of cosleeping and we are doing it safely, but I miss my husband and he misses me too 😔 we can’t share a bed as he’s such a heavy sleeper and it wouldn’t be safe for our baby.

@Sarah exactly how we are now! Just embracing it 😂

I feel that incog, i can’t share a room with my fiance either but i just try to remember it’s a season, not forever. My son gets too distressed if I try and put him in his crib too many times. He’ll do the first stretch of sleep which is 30 mins then I just give up haha.

My son is doing exactly the same and he used to be a good sleeper! Now he’s waking every hour, sometimes every 30 mins! Til I give up and end up co sleeping too! Definitely think it’s their teeth, just wish they’d hurry up and come through! I feel exactly the same dread every night so I know how you feel! X
