@joe1982 My little one is very predictable with her sleeps and sometimes will be OK going to sleep on her own, sometimes she wants me to hold or cuddle her. So I don't think a child needs to "self-soothe" in order to have a predictable sleep schedule. And it's something most infants can do...

@finleyk So maybe think of it more as you want to shift that awake time from night to the day. How many nights does it happen per week? If it's say, three times per week that's six hours of awake time you want to add to his days but averaged over the week - so just under an hour a day. If it...

@finleyk Have you looked up split nights? This article really helped me https://www.thegentlesleepcoach.com/blog/splitnights It's so, so, so hard while it's happening.

@thomasmann I totally get how hard this is. I'm going to suggest undertiredness. Your wake windows add up to 10-10.5 hours of awake time per day, meaning you're trying for 13.5-14 hours of sleep. Average sleep needs for 4-12 month olds range from 12-15 hours in 24 and declines over the first...

@vinhhali Please do check the group out, it's really worth it and has helped me so much. I've seen talk in there of medical reasons for needing to be latched all night being potentially from enlarged tonsils/adenoids or oral ties but I haven't delved into it myself because that's not my bubs...

@vinhhali If you aren't already, I reccomend joining the Beyond Sleep Training Project Facebook group for both gentle night weaning support and support with your babies sleep. There are many parents in that group with similar problems to you - and from what I've read of their experiences...

@southern_at_heart Hahaha good luck and I hope she gets back to some longer stretches soon!!

@southern_at_heart It's so hard, trust me I know it's not easy. And there are still peaks and troughs for us. Usually it's 2 feeds on average but then last night she fed hourly. 😵‍💫 So at around 8 months my little one was averaging 3 feeds (down from 50 million when we weren't bed sharing) and...

@southern_at_heart It's sooo normal for babies to sleep well around 3-4 months and then from 4 months onwards sleep far less well. The four month regression is a permanent change to their sleep cycles. And also, they're beginning to move more so of course they're hungrier? They used to lie...
