Regression blues

Hi all, we’re weeks into the sleep regression and it’s really getting to me. Last night I had a really terrible night after a couple nights that saw a little improvement (still bad compared to what it used to be). I just can’t see an end in sight, my husband has been off work for a little bit for the school holidays so has been able to help out with nights but is going back next week and I’m absolutely dreading doing it all on my own again. The nights just feel endless and I get so overwhelmed with the endless wake-up’s and settling on repeat every hour. Even tried co sleeping last night for the first time ever and he was still unsettled and every noise and movement woke me up. I hope I’m not alone :(

Not alone, we're 5 and a bit weeks in 🫠 we are up every 2 hours for a feed and then after 0430 one of us has to hold our little one as he just will not settle in his crib after that point. It's absolutely brutal!!! We're working on letting him fall asleep on his own - no sleep training but just popping him down when tired and seeing what happens - but it's very slow going (he's managed it twice this entire week).

There’s a lot of us right here with you, in the depths of the regression and barely surviving. You’re not alone!x

Not alone. We’re here too, we co sleep all night now as it gives us longer stretches and I couldn’t do the 45min wake ups all night. But we’re still awake 4/5 times a night xx

You’re defo not alone! My little one has slept through since being a few weeks old so this is a major backtrack for us. In fairness she’s only waking 2-3 times but she can take up to an hour to feed,wind and re-settle and although she has settled herself to sleep in her next to me crib since day dot, although she’s still going to bed independently, she refuses to settle back in there after the first wake. And I am just not able to get back to sleep once she’s in the bed with us and it’s exhausting!

Not happy everyone else is going through it, but knowing I'm also not alone is so reassuring 😭 and knowing it's nothing we've done, it's just babies being babies! 🫠 I'm sure in a few years we'll have forgotten all about this...
