I don’t even have the energy to write much my little one is wakening hourly never been a good sleeper most he’s done is one for hour that was weeks ago now two hours is the most and two around 7 wakes a night what’s going on we had already been through the 4 month regression
My five month old is wakening anywhere from every one to two hours at night we had the four month regression and it was fairly similar to this I’m not sure now what’s going on it can equate to 5/8 wakeups a night and he needs fed back to sleep will not accept anything else is he overtired under tired or what am I seriously doing wrong his day schedule looks like this
7/715 wakes up
Every 1.5/2 hours goes for a 30/40 minute nap I’ve tried extending the window and he’s then extremely tired and upset
Last nap is around 430/5pm
And bedtime is 730/8 pm
Any help would be so appreciated I’m so tired and deflated it’s been difficult with sleep from day one. The longest block he’s done is 4 hours which is almost two months ago now.
Also I don’t want to do any sort of sleep training that involves crying it out so please no suggestions on that.

My five month old is having around 4 naps a day and will go anywhere between 30/60 minutes totalling 2.5/3 hours a day, is this normal and good for him im trying to put him down close to every two hours so he’s not overtired and losing it but then I read he should’ve able to stay up for three hours there’s no way I could extend him to that at the moment. How many naps a day does your five month old have? And for how long a time are the cat naps bad
How many times in a day does your little one get fed? My son is five months old EBF and I’ve been told by a midwife that I feed him too much. I tried cutting him down and last night he was up every single hour whereas normally he would sleep a three or 2 1/2 hour block.
I think I’ve finally reached rock bottom after five months of such broken sleep. My five month old will not go to sleep night or day without being breastfed. I have tried everything. Rocking him shhing him waiting for the sleep cues putting in the cot nothing works. It just extends the time he’s awake in the end. I always give in and feed him. I am trying to follow a strict schedule and putting him for naps every hour and 45 to 2 hours but then I was also doing training with Tresillian and they told me that he will tell me when he’s tired and to wait for his sleep cues I am so confused and have no idea what to do. Will it get any better or will he always associate the boob with going to sleep? The most he will sleep at night is a three hour block. Some nights now he’s up for one hour in between screaming and carrying on. I try everything to soothe him. Eventually he will go back to sleep. I feel like I’m going insane during the day. I try to stick to a strict schedule but I don’t even know if it’s worth it.
Tresillian is telling me not to feed him 30 minutes before bed. It’s just causing so much chaos. He just wants the boob. What’s wrong with that if it soothes him to sleep will it be a rod for my back later on I don’t know but rocking him is causing more issues and upset
Since the start my baby has had issues with sleeping he associates getting breastfed with going to sleep. Nothing else I do will put him to sleep. I’ve tried rocking him shushing him putting him in the cot drowsy and awake to get him familiar with the cot in the end I just end up feeding him. I’ve been told it because he associates getting fed to sleep that he won’t sleep cycles and sleep for a long times at the moment. He probably does 4 to 5 wake up at night and the most he would sleep is about 3 to 3 1/2 hours at a time. Would he eventually master this on his own or am I making it worse feeding him to a drowsy state then rocking him before he goes into his cot? I just feel like if I try everything else it just adds time to it makes me exhausted and makes my baby exhausted and in the end I end up feeding him anyway. Any advice or similar situations would be so helpful. During the day he will sleep 4 naps around 30 to 40 minutes a time again I feed him to go to sleep and then rock him.
