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?
Wish we knew this when our kiddo was young. The amount of times we tried to step back bed time, be met with early success, only for it to rebound was a couple too many. Thankfully we threw in the towel and just enjoyed the sleep patterns he had.
Also the 3-4 years old thing is so true for us. I feel like no one talks about this!
