I am so so sorry. I think you know my background, so I will spare you the details . . . but I would let her sleep on her belly, and get her to a Ped GI specialist for stronger reflux meds (prevacid or prilosec).</p> <p>ETA: I didn't do CIO until 9ish months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487514 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:28:33 +0000 daniellemybelle 1487514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this at about 3.5 months. It was the 4 month regression / wonder week / whatever you want to call it. We ended up cosleeping because I was not ready to CIO but then we eventually did Ferber at a little over 4 months. I know it sucks! Unfortunately I am learning there's no easy way out - just through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487430 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:44:34 +0000 Smurfette 1487430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let her belly sleep and see if that helps. Otherwise at 3 months is when R's sleep went to totally crap like that. Hugs! We had to let her CIO at 4 months. But she also couldn't put herself to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487427 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:42:47 +0000 Zbug 1487427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but we are with you. DD slept great from 3-4 months, but we have been dealing with crappy sleep for over a month now. We have tried co sleeping. It was a fail. Sympathy for you and coffee for us all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487398 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:30:51 +0000 Weagle 1487398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: not going to lie, we started belly sleeping super early. And it was life-changing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487392 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:29:16 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1487392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: we are currently having her sleep in RNP. She will tolerate her crib if she is on her belly only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487391 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:28:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1487391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ps, she goes to sleep awake. We never rock/nurse to sleep.</p> <p>Co sleeping doesn't seem to work since she will only sleep at an incline because of her reflux. Or, on top of me. Though I don't want to sleep with a baby on my chest all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487388 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:28:00 +0000 Weagle 1487388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will she sleep in anything other than the crib? RnP, swing, bouncer? I would definitely try! Sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487350 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:12:19 +0000 Mamasig 1487350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My suggestion is also co-sleeping. That's what worked for us. I got tired of getting up every couple of hours. Once he slept with us, he usually STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487317 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:58:32 +0000 bunnylove08 1487317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happened to us and we started to co sleep. After she started to sleep with us she would sleep longer. It was easier on me mentally and physically because I didnt have to get up out of bed to feed or comfort her. it worked for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487312 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:57:01 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1487312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right there with you at 4.5 months. We have had everything from hourly wake ups to a more reasonable 3 per night for the past three weeks. But prior to that he was sleeping a 7 or 8 hour stretch when he first went down. Boo. No advice but you most certainly are not alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487299 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:50:36 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1487299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, were there right now (4 months) and have been since 3 months. It blows so many balls. I thought it was the 3 month growth spurt?, then the wonder week leap, then the 4 month regression. Regardless, it hasn't gotten better. The doctor said yesterday to start putting her down for naps drowsy but awake so she learns to fall asleep. Sigh... Good luck. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487297 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:49:58 +0000 matador84 1487297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't sleep more than a few hours for what seemed like forever...6 months at leAst. Are you ff or bf? It sucks but at 1 year I weaned and he dropped his motn feeding and started sttn 7-7. So amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487280 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:42:44 +0000 Alivoo01 1487280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man.... No advice bc this is DS right now, but he's almost 8 months. Shoot me. He's always been this way. We slept trained and it worked for about a week, but then he'd get sick and everything went out the door. He's been sick once a month with residual sickness that lasts up to 3 weeks so it's been a vicious cycle. He too wakes up every hour it seems so I can totally empathize.. I don't wish it upon anyone. Hopefully, someone can chime in and give you some advice, and much needed sleep!! *hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-able-to-sleep-for-longer-than-an-hour#post-1487203 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:23:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1487203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For almost two weeks, my LO hasn't been able to sleep longer than an hour stretch at night time. She is three months old.</p> <p>There was a small amount of time where she would give me a long first stretch (4-6 hours), but now she just wakes up crying anywhere between 20-60 minutes. </p> <p>Is this just a phase? I am incredibly tired. I know many of you have gone through this--how did you deal? How long will this last? Any tips? (ETA not interested in CIO at three-months old.) </p>
