My baby is 8 months old, and still wakes up at night. It’s not just waking up to suck, but also to play. She just doesn’t want to sleep! Falling asleep during the day is not a problem, but when night comes, she wakes up every two hours, and she can be awake for several hours. I’m losing my strength and the will to get up and I’m afraid I’ll lose my patience, even though I know I should be thankful because she’s a healthy and happy baby. My husband have more patience but we both are tired and Im beginning to worry for our mental health and relationship. I tried few sleeping techniques but none of them was useful to me Do you have some advice?
She still sleeps in our bedroom, but I think thats not a problem, because she can sleep well anywhere during the day
I am breastfeeding, and that can be one of the reasons for frequent waking up (many parents told me that babies sleep better when bottlefeeding), but we definitely need to be more persistent when putting the baby to sleep
