Does it actually get better?
I thought we had a unicorn baby up till we hit the 4 month sleep regression which honestly started in the middle of his 3 month. Fast forward he’s newly 6 months and we still are battling extremely hard nights he minimum has 3 wake-ups in the night which not always are related to hunger. It’s getting extremely tiring and mentally draining to deal with this constantly. Especially when I do multiple nights solo.
I was doing nights alone since he was 1 month since my spouse does shift work so he isn’t always around at nights. He helps out now but it’s still such a challenge.
Don’t know just here to rant and ask does it actually get better? If so, when? ☹️… I think our baby is used to being rocked to sleep so maybe that’s why he gets up constantly blurting out crying. I have tried seeing if he can self soothe but his crying escalates which results in a harder time for him to be put back to sleep.
Should we sleep train? He’ll happily co sleep if I let him but I don’t want him getting used to that because honestly I like my own space when sleeping & i’m always waking up during cosleeping cos it makes me anxious.
Any tips? Solutions? We were told to start him
on baby cereal and see if that would help him sleep through the night but guess what …. didn’t help 🙃 I think I am losing my mind tbh it’s affecting my mood and energy levels so any tips would help.
