baby sleep problems

Hi my little princess is eight months old and still wakes up to nurse every 2hrs..she is has been offered solids 3 times a day since 7months old..she has to be rocked to sleep and not put down till she's out cold..if you put her down awake she screams as soon as you lay her down..she also has delegation anxiety super bad..any tips on helping her sleep..I'm not big on CIO...

Separation anxiety lol stupid phone

That's pretty normal. My daughter just stopped waking every couple hours to nurse and she is 2yrs 1mo. And the only reason she stopped is because my milk supply is low from being almost 29 weeks pregnant.

Shell Grow out of it.

I don't think an eight month old can have separation anxiety. She's just attached to mama. It's very normal. She's completely dependent on you. You can't force her independence. Have you considered co sleeping?

Thanks mammasav2,I don't really mind but everyone I know says she should be sleeping through the night by now,both formala and breastfeeding mamas so I was wondering if it was normal since so many ppl are telling me its not....

It's so normal it'd be abnormal if she WAS sleeping through the night. People like to brag about their kids' sleep patterns. I have no idea why. It doesn't make you a better mom cause your baby sleeps all night.

Thanks so much A is me,everyone was making me think I wasn't doing something right because she isn't sleeping good...I've heard she spoiled because you hold her too much,you aren't feeding her enough, let her cry to sleep..

I think you're a better mom for holding her as much as she wants, fulfilling her needs and feeding her as much as she wants instead of forcing her to fill up so you can sleep. Not to mention, letting her cry herself to sleep is not being a "good mom" in my opinion.

Exactly!!   Being a good mom is about meeting your baby's needs, not trying to create a baby that acts the way you think they should. OP, keep up the good work!

Thanks mommies you guys are awesome!oh and off topic how do you set a profile picture from your phone?

im going through the same thing with my 5 month old so if you find anything that helps please let me know

I am going through the same thing too! Dd is 7mths and still wakes every 2 hrs and sometimes before. I am anti CIO too! I started co sleeping about 2 months ago because I went back to work n it was just easier to have her there. I see no signs of it getting better either lol I just try to enjoy the cuddles at night, because I would have never co slept before. I really do love co sleeping though, if u find anything that helps let me know   I am glad that I am not the only mom who is going throught this, I started to think she had a sleeping disorder lol she has no long stretches even while co sleeping. She wakes like clock work lol
