I am at my ******* wits end.
Baby is 6.5 months
I have been sleep training since FEBRUARY #%*ing 26TH and my baby still cries EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I need some serious help. Been doing CIO and last night he cried for an hour before passing out and right now he’s crying hysterically again.
Note that if I try to go in and soothe he just cries more so I don’t think another method is suitable. Happy to be proved wrong.
Total nap time - 2.75 hours
Total awake time - been experimenting from 10-11 hours
I know he’s a low sleep needs baby but holy shit I cannot figure him out and I’m becoming angry and resentful.
Typical schedule:
Wake ups can vary but lately he’s getting up around 6
Window 1 - 2.25 hours
Nap 1 - 1.25 hours
Window 2 - 2.5 hours
Nap 2 - 1.25 hours
Window 3 - 2.5 hours
Cat nap - 15-20 mins
Window 4 - 3 hours
Total sleep - 2hr45 mins on avg
Total awake time - 10.25 on avg
I’ve been trying to tweak by extending or shortening wake wjndows but still he cries EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. My first was so easy to sleep training so I am getting pissed off that this is not working the second time around.
help please.
Edit: based on Huckleberry the avg time asleep over the past 90 days is 12.5 hours.
So should I be budgeting 11.5 hours of awake time?
