u/Bubbly-Start-416

Hi, I have a 9mo who wakes hourly and always has, even when co sleeping. We have applied to go to Ngala but are on the waitlist. The phone support is disheartening as we have tried for months to improve settling during the daytime by just patting and singing. No health issues to note.

I just want to get a bit more sleep for one night as I am a shell of myself.

Hubby works long days and often works with heavy machinery so can't take baby for longer than he already does at night.

Has anyone hired someone to just hold their baby at night time? Thank you in advance for any tips.
