I hope you're finding a plan that works for you and your family. Good luck! @Dana By far, sleep has been THE most difficult part about being a mother, so I completely understand.

My baby girl is 9 months now and her sleep is getting worse. She use to sleep in her crib so nicely for even 7 hours STRAIGHT back when she was 3 months old and little of that wonderful sleep on up to about 6 months then it started getting bad as I was so tired when I got her out of crib for first night feeding I accidentally would fall asleep with her in the bed every night. I am 39 years old and after 6 months of sleep depravation it was getting to me. Now its even worse as I have to wake up every hour on the hour to pet her head for 10 minutes until she goes back to sleep. Now we are all getting sick from all the many so called sleep training. I am done with it!! I l cut the night time feeding, I cut the picking her up at night, we cut the letting her sleep with us. Now after reading your articles about breastfeeding moms and my daughter's age I am going to try to breastfeed her once at night to see if that helps. Her naps during the day are like anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours and I let her do the 3 hours more and more as I don't want a sleep deprived baby who has a brain still in development. sigh. This IS by far the most frustrating thing I have had to deal with. The pregnancy and delivery was easy compared to this. Sleep has always been a big thing for me as I get sick easily with out it. I can't imagine what will become of me when I have to go back to work some time in the next few months when I find a job. Signed, Dead Tired Oh Mandy and I have the EXACT same problems.

How is your son's napping during the day? I would need to know many other details to make any recommendations, but it sounds like the key is to help your son learn to fall asleep on his own, so he can stay asleep all night. You can do this and continue co-sleeping. Good luck! @Mandy Oh no!! How is your son’s napping during the day?

My son is 8 months old and still wakes 5-6 times a night to nurse, and his sleeping just keeps getting WORSE. I don't even mind nursing because we co-sleep and I side-lie nurse... But lately, he's been going down at 7 for bedtime, waking at 8 and staying up until 11! We can't do ANYTHING to get him back to bed. That, on top of nursing every hour, is killing me. :/. Ugh.

Nooooo! :) I'm glad you figured it out, though! At least it's temporary and you can go back to eating chocolate when you are/were done breastfeeding. :) @Cindy Give up chocolate?

I breastfeed, then my husband gives her a bottle to top her off during the dark hours. During the day, she's generally breastfed only, but we'll give her bottles if she's still hungry. If I'm really exhausted, he'll do just a bottle feeding at night so I can sleep. It does make a huge difference, and our baby will certainly have quite a bit to eat when she wakes up and I take back over!
