8 Month Old Baby Still Not Sleeping Through The Night
by Asya
My baby used to sleep through the night, but now she wakes up every 3-4 hours, sometimes even more often and will cry hysterically untill I pick her up. Then she will only calm down if I nurse her. Very rarely, I get her calm by rubbing her back or belly. If I'm lucky she'll fall asleep at my breast and I quietly move her back to her crib which is in a separate room. Sometimes she will start crying within 30 mins after that and then the same scenario... Sometimes I get a couple of hours of rest before the next fit. I tried letting her cry it out, checking on her every 5-10 mins but she would just cry louder everytime I left the room and when I picked her up, her crying just broke my heart and her little tummy was shaking. I would nurse her then and she would become quiet but her tummy would shake rhythmically. I would let her cry it out again but I'm scared to hurt her, physically and mentally. I have no idea what I'm doing to her when I let her cry. If I knew for sure, she would be fine, I'd do it again and be consistent this time. She does not have too much trouble napping, she usually takes two naps a day, each one at least an hour up to 2,5 hours. She's always been a healthy and happy baby. She eats 3 meals during the day and I started giving her snacks couple of days ago. She has already the bottom two teeth and I'm not sure if she's getting the top ones yet. I'm staying at home with her and I hardly get any rest since I don't have any family or friends around here to help me out. My husband goes to school at night and works full-time so he's not much help either. What can I do to help her sleep better? I slowly but surely cannot take the mornings after anymore.
