8.5mo still wakes every 1-2 hrs
Help! It’s been months since my baby has slept more than a 3hr stretch at night, waking usually 3-5 times per night. She is sleep trained in that she goes down absolutely fine at bed time, but this has not stopped the night wakings!
We are at 2 naps a day and I do not feed her to sleep - sometimes she cries but no more than 2-3 minutes. Wake windows are 3/3.5/4. She’s asleep at 7:30pm and wakes up around 6:45am.
We have tried applying our sleep training method at night, but it escalates to her absolutely screaming so quickly that I either just feed her back to sleep or we bring her into our bed or both. One time on our more determined nights we let the crying/screaming go on for an hour (with check ins) before giving up. I have also tried dream feeding her before I go to bed (about 1.5-2.hrs after putting her down) and this has not helped, as well as sending dad in instead of me for check ins.
What else can we try?! I’m good with some wakes in the night and feeding her back to sleep… but I need to start getting some longer stretches here. Morale is low lol
