I am exhausted, emotionally. Baby is 12 weeks now and he still won't sleep. The most we get at night is one sleep of 1.5 hours in his next to me crib, and that's on a good night. A normal night is waking every 30-60 minutes constantly all night long and needing to be picked up to get back to sleep. Tried co-sleeping but it doesn't change the wake ups.

Tonight I've just broken down. My husband is doing more and more night care because I keep just breaking down crying on the 5th time of trying to put baby back down. But he is working so it's not sustainable like this. We are already doing shifts of 5/6 hours so we're both rested but I can't get through mine anymore. I've just reached my limit. I didn't expect amazing sleep but I really thought he would be able to sleep in 2 hour blocks at least but he just can't. It's gotten even worse since he turned 11 weeks when the 30 minute wakes started.

The thought of doing this for weeks and weeks more feels impossible.

How long has baby cried for during sleep training? 5/6 months of age. If it takes 1+ hours of screaming do you just persist? Or do something else? He screams so much he coughs and chokes. My baby is very sensitive but we can't continue with how his sleep is without sleep training, he is overtired all the time and so are we.

If babies have a regression around 3 months, in your experience does it come again at 4 months?

Just had a hellish week of waking every 30-50 minutes all night long if put down, refusing naps, struggling to nap on the go anymore. Seem to be coming out of it now and we've had a few nights of two 2-3 hour sleep chunks. He's started sucking his thumb which seems to help prevent him waking fully at least once a night, things started getting better once the thumb sucking appeared.

I am scared this is going to happen again at 4 months and last longer because it was horrible 😂
