My baby is 8 months old, and still wakes up at night. It’s not just waking up to suck, but also to play. She just doesn’t want to sleep! Falling asleep during the day is not a problem, but when night comes, she wakes up every two hours, and she can be awake for several hours. I’m losing my strength and the will to get up and I’m afraid I’ll lose my patience, even though I know I should be thankful because she’s a healthy and happy baby. My husband have more patience but we both are tired and Im beginning to worry for our mental health and relationship. I tried few sleeping techniques but none of them was useful to me Do you have some advice?
I feel every two hours is luxury :D
Our, at that time, woke up every hour and took a lot of time to fall asleep again, I was so exhausted that I was ready for sleep training with letting him fall asleep crying and so on. And that actually improved things a little bit, he would be so exhausted that he would then sleep for two or three hours.
Only in the long run this changed and he could sleep through most of the night.
