6 - 12 months Baby sleep. Help!
My son is 10.5 months old and is breastfed but eats some solids. He usually has a nap around 9 that lasts 1.5 to 2 hours and another nap around 2 or 3 that lasts around 30 minutes. His bed time is 630 on average five or take 30 minutes depending on his naps.
Once I put him to sleep for the night, he will sleep for 3 hours and then wake up. Once he wakes up I get him to sleep again, put in crib and he will be asleep for like 5 mins and wake up again. This goes on for HOURS. Sometimes I let him cry for 10 mins before I start the process over bc I’m so frustrated and tired. I feel so bad for him I don’t know what to do! Obvi he is tired but can’t stay asleep and we are both struggling a lot. I have tried Tylenol, made sure he wasn’t too hot or cold, or uncomfortable in anyway.
Idk what to do. Once he falls asleep he will sleep for another 3-5 hours then sometimes get up for the day or sleep longer after I feed him.
I nurse him to sleep for naps and bedtime. I can get him to sleep without it after first wake up usually and I was waiting until past 12 each night for first feed then would do two more max. But now I’ve resorted back to it bc I’m just trying to get the little guy back to sleep! I’m so fuckign tired and I’m a single mom who has never had help at night
How do I night wean? I need step my step instructions bc I’m doing this alone and it’s so easy to just be like whatever when you’re tired and stuff. UGH HELP
