DD is 5 mos. From what I read (even Dr. Sears), she should be waking only once or twice in the night if everything is normal. between 6 weeks and 4 mos, she woke only once or twice, but at 4 mos, she gradually started waking more. Now she goes to bed around 8, sleeps till around 11 or 12 (sometimes) and then wakes every 2 hours after that. It feels like I have a newborn again!
Is this normal??
Whether it is or not, I'm getting REALLY burned out. I had a breakdown at 5 this morning
when she wouldn't go back to sleep, because all I would like is a full sleep cycle. DH is away on training this month and will be deployed in June for almost a year, so I don't get help at night.
How can I help her sleep longer? She sleep in the pack n play next to my bed and next to me (on and off throughout the night).
TIA
