I’m not really sure what I’m hoping to achieve out of this.. maybe just a rant but I have a 8 month old LB and he has never been a great sleeper.

He needs rocking to sleep, and will wake almost always after his first sleep cycle and then every 1-2 hours after that. I also contact nap as again will last 20 mins in the cot and that’s it. I am on the brink of exhaustion. he’s still in our room as the thought of having to get up multiple times a night even feels more exhausting!!

I spend so much time working out WW & naps that it’s become my whole personality. Do I focus on this too much? I avoid going anywhere when I know he needs a sleep meaning I spend a lot of time at home.

He is currently still on 3 naps, we have tried 2 multiple times and extending the last WW to 3/3.5 hours but this completely backfires (did this last night and he was awake from 3-5:30am😭)

I’m at the point where I am so miserable, the rage I feel when he won’t sleep/middle of the night I know is not normal and I feel so guilty but I can’t help it.

Everyday I lose myself more and more everyday and resentment is creeping in.

If anyone has any tips or can help please do!

I am open to sleep training, however not CIO. I couldnt handle it right now..
