Help! 7 month old sleep problems
My nearly 7 month old used to sleep so great and now we are waking numerous times each night. I think we have some bad habits to break and am looking for help with that as well as naps/wake windows please! She was sleep trained around 4 months and can get herself to sleep for naps but overnights are becoming a problem.
I think she is getting ready to transition to two naps. She is 2.25/2.25/2.5/2.75. I am trying to extend her wake windows but she has been SO fussy. She goes to sleep around 7-7:30 most nights and is rising around 6-6:30am. I wish she would sleep a bit longer since she is waking so much in the night.
She is waking around 10pm and midnight and wanting her pacifier and then falling right back to sleep. This is annoying because she knows how to grab it and put it in her mouth but isn’t even looking for it because she’s so mad that she’s awake.
She is then waking again around 3am and again around 4am. It’s much harder to get her to sleep here. I think she has a feed to sleep association at this hour and wants a bottle. We have tried changing to water and lowering the amount but haven’t been able to break this.
What can I do to get my baby to sleep longer stretches again like she used to? I am suffering from lack of sleep and even had a panic attack this week from sleep deprivation and anxiety about how I was going to make it through the day with so little sleep
