Help please!
Hi everyone,
I have an 8 month old who went into their own room last week. Baby has never been a good sleeper. Currently is going to sleep in cot, with parent sitting in chair next to the cot - occasional reassurance provided in form of hand holding or resting hand on baby's tummy. Baby falls asleep within about 20 minutes.
Baby is waking every hour overnight since moving into own room - settles most of the time once parent is back in the room sitting next to the cot.
I am exhusted - baby is very obviously exhausted too. It's been a long week. Does anyone have any advice for how I could improve the constantly wake ups for reassurance?
Current Schedule:
7am wake up
10am - 1.5hr nap
3pm - 1 hour nap
730pm - bedtime routine
8pm - put down in cot awake
Baby still takes one feed overnight, usually about 3am. Baby only sleeps during the day in pram or car - refuses cot naps and has always done so even when room sharing
Thanks for any help anyone can give! X
