My ten and a half month old baby finally slept through the night! Yay! After months and months of up to half a dozen nursings throughout the night, she's finally making it out to 6 am before waking up, being nursed, and snoozing until 7 or 8. Just recently, I've (sleepily) noticed that she hadn't been waking up quite as often. Then last night her dad took her to sleep with him, and without my distracting presence and smell, she made it through. There is hope at the end of the tunnel!

Emily is 11.5 months old now, and still wakes at least 4 times a night. Last night she refused to sleep until 9:30pm, although I had her in bed with soothing music by 8pm. For an hour and a half I fought her kicking and screaming until she was ready to sleep. Then she woke up every couple hours, either to fuss, or because she seriously wanted to drink. Then she woke up this morning at 7:30am. I think I'm going to lose it. I don't even know where to begin to correct this! >> My ten and a half month old baby finally slept through the night!

I understand. All I can say is that sometimes it sorts itself out. Just now at nearly 18 months Will is sleeping from 7:30ish until about 4am, at which time he has a BIG breastfeed (BOTH sides - wow!), then back to sleep until only 6am, then up. He will often still wake at his usual 11pm, but sometimes doesn't need help getting back to sleep. He used to be every 2 or 3 hours awake at night, though, until the last month or two. It is a really tough time, and relationships can suffer for it. It is very hard knowing whether to do anything about it, suck it up and live with it, or whether doing something would work at all. It is also very hard not knowing how long it will last. Hang in there, grab as much nap time as you can, get regular exercise and sunshine, love your baby, and know that this too, shall pass :) *hugs* Jo  SignatureWoman, Wife, Mother, Midwife |
