Sleep or Lack Of!!

[LeannieB]

My LO is now 8 months and still not sleeping well at night. It could be teething as he has his bottom 2 and the top 2 and the ones next to the top have cut through as well. Im beginning to think he just doesnt like sleeping at all. The only way I can get him back to sleep is by feeding him (boob). Im so tired and just wanna stay in my pajamas today but my older boys are on half term so I will feel so bad if I dont take them out. Anyone elses in same boat as me? X

Hello! I am also sleep deprived. Owen is 8 months as well and wakes up numerous times a night and the only way to get him back to bed is the bottle! He has three bottom teeth, so I'm thinking it may be teething..

I thought he may of started sleeping better by now but he seems to be getting worse!! Sorry your in the same boat as me x

I know what you mean! I thought he would be getting better but he stays pretty much the same. We sleep trained him at six months and it worked amazing, but he ended up in the hospital with rsv the next week and his sleeping got completely messed up again. I really don't want to sleep train again, but it looks like we're headed that way.

Bless him. I have never tried sleep training before. My first was a brilliant sleeper he slept through really early then my second was great as a newborn then started sleeping bad around 5/6 months. They are almost 5 and 7 now and sometimes will still get in bed with us. My youngest is by far the worst sleeper!! Im dreading if I have to go back to work. X

Last night he was in his cot asleep by 9.15pm. He seems to be settling later this week. Then up at 1.30am and again at 5am. Then up for the day at 7am. Thats a better night for us at the moment. He is getting no where near enough sleep for his age x

Owen isn't getting enough sleep either, and I work 40 hours a week!

There's an 8 month sleep regression that I remember all too well from when DS was tiny. It was tough but it passed. Hope it passes quickly for you ladies.

Another 8 month old not sleeping her too! She goes to bed lovely at 7.30pm and tends to fall asleep by 8pm then wakes at least 3 times for bottle or resettling. One night I didn't get to bed until 5 am

DD has STTN for one whole week since she was born and I'm back at work this week. Coffee at the ready
