My ebf baby WILL. NOT. SLEEP

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it sounds really tough. I am by no means an expert but smaller cluster feeds vs large feeds might mean different things. A couple of ideas: 1. Maybe baby has his six month sleep regression early 2. The rhyme goes ‘food is fun, until they’re one’. Maybe in the day try milk first and top up with food so they get all the calories they need to sleep through. I hope that helps ❤️

(1/2) Unfortunately it can be anything at that age. Sleep regression, my only advice is that would eventually pass when they figure out the big milestone for themselves. It'll feel rough, I've been dealing with on and off sleep regression since my son was 2.5 weeks old (babies do start at different times). The other thing might be teething, have they been showing signs of teething lately ? And yes, cluster feeding may be another one. Just before my son turned 6 months old, he started having the irritation and restlessness teething symptoms and tbh, it wasn't until he turned 7 months old, that his 1am bedtimes finally backed down at least 10pm. Long walks during the day, with fresh air has helped with at least between 7pm to 9:40pm bedtimes. Of course, fed his bottle, burped, solids, some water, a clean diaper, dressed for the weather, and he's good for the walk until his next feeding. When the snow got better, the walks really helped to get him to bed

(2/2) 10.5 months old now, he's dealing with another teething symptom, which is a more than usual of gassy tummy and he got pass the diarrhea teething symptom. I've tried everything, but comfort and snuggles help, since it's been a rough since December for me ( '^^) i totally understand the need to sleep. I have been working on him getting back into his bed since January or February (can't remember). It was going good until that teething symptom kicked in, it happens. Could more solids or more his breastmilk or more of a bottle may help ? I've noticed with my son, when he had really good feedings before bed would help him sleep a bit better at night (when his teething wasn't bothering him at night)

Your husband needs to support you! Babies feed, babies cry. That is normal. A grown man screaming about it is not.

Is he upset when he wakes or just awake and wanting to feed/play? My son is 6 months so I’m a little ahead of you and the only thing I could really suggest is ‘breast sleeping’ which is basically co sleeping while baby nurses. Might be worth checking out! If hes waking to feed you could get him to the boob before he fully wakes up, then he’ll settle himself. Feel free to message if you want to chat!
