Baby wakes up and doesn’t sleep for ages

6am and after 2 hours trying to put my baby to sleep I’ve resulted in this rant. Last 3 nights, My baby wakes up at some point during the night and doesn’t go back down. I try feeding him, nappy change, burping, everything you can think of and he doesn’t go back down for at least an hour. When he eventually doesn’t go back down I can’t sleep. I am exhausted 🥺 Anyone else going through this?! 😩

What time is ur baby waking

We've had this quite a bit recently I think it's called a split night. No advice sadly. We just pass the baby between me and my husband continually trying to put him back to sleep and he eventually falls asleep usually after the 1.5 hr mark. Really tough!

What time is he going to bed and what does he wake?

He sleeps for the night at 8pm and usually sleeps till 7am but he wakes up once during the night last 3 nights, all different times… first 2 nights was 1am last night was 4am 🥺

Definitely sounds like split nights. How long are the naps in the day? And how many? My girl started doing split nights a few weeks back so I dropped her to 2 naps (she is technically 7.5 months corrected and has high sleep needs) and that seems to have sorted it for now 😅

Just to assist - my baby is now 2 but had this at ten months - otherwise an excellent sleeper . It lasted around a month - noting really helped apart from we ensure we put baby in cot to settle To go to sleep and that appeared to be end of it rather than letting him fall asleep in our arms and transfer him xx
