I have a 6 month old baby. She has only slept through the night ONCE. We’ve tried the whole beside bassinet, crib in her own room, white noise, sleep sack, rock/pat to sleep, setting her down “drowsy” (which has never worked lol), doesn’t take a paci and she will just not sleep for more than 2 hours without waking up.

We do cosleep. I made that decision at 2 months when none of the above worked and I wasn’t getting any sleep. Nursing to sleep is the only way I can get her to stay asleep. I’m able to feed, unlatch, and she can fall asleep in my arms but the moment I set her down she will cry. And WILL NOT stop until I pick her up or nurse her. Throughout the night, she still wakes up almost every 1-2 hours and immediately looks for me to nurse. I know she’s not hungry and she’s doing it for comfort as she’ll drift back to sleep in a few minutes. She can go 1 hour crying with me picking her up, patting, rocking but won’t stop unless I nurse her.

Day time naps are also horrible. I can pretty much time when she’s sleepy and needs a nap. But I almost always need to nurse her and stay with her or she’ll wake up. I tried a 3 nap schedule and stretching her wake windows so she’s tired enough but not overtired and nothing ever seems to work.

Wake time 7am
1st Nap around 9:30am
2nd Nap 1pm
3rd nap 4pm
Bedtime 7:30pm-8pm
*Naps usually last less than an hour.
*She’s waking every 40 mins-hour at night.

I’m just so tired. I just want her to sleep for more than 2 hours straight. I’ll take 3-4 hours I’m not asking for an entire 8-12😭. We tried the whole sleep train thing. Cried for 2 hours. I don’t like CIO. Tried Ferber method.

Please send help & tips!!!

***Also is my baby teething + learning new skills also affecting sleep? And will it affect sleep training or is that just a myth? Sorry FTM here :)
