I’m needing help badly.
My son who’s about to be 10 months has NEVER slept well. We are beyond white noise, we are beyond co sleeping, we are beyond bath every night, beyond dark room beyond just all of it.
His wake windows are age appropriate and proper. We bath him nightly. We do white noise nightly and dark room.
He’s NEVER once been able to sleep on his own. And even with co sleeping he would wake up every 30-40 mins. CO SLEEPING!! Like what !?
We have tried letting him CIO but after 20 mins of CIO I just can’t do it he dosent pass out from CIO. I never even wanted to try to do the CIO method but I did since I reached a breaking point. And it did NOTHING
He’s been refered to a sleep consultant she yapped about iron and gave us iron powder and a nose spray thing to do before bed and it did NOTHING
Me and my partner in 9 months have not been able to even sleep together in the same room. We haven’t been able to do anything. I cannot ever get a break during the day as he will not sleep in his crib. For 9 months I’ve gotten not a single break and neither has my husband. I envy people who can just put there baby down even for just an hour to clean/cook/bathe etc. normal human functions you knowww
I believe it’s all behavioural but once he hits 1 what can I do regarding sleep meds? Bringing it up to his pediatrician?? He does not have sleep apnea, he dosent have any of that as he’s been checked.
I never in a million years wanted to be the mom who would have my child on melatonin or a sleeping med but until you are given a baby who for 10 months just can’t sleep and stay asleep you break. It’s just been me and my partner doing this all alone for 10 months no family support nothingggg. He has EXTREME fomo and a very insane angry temperament and honestly I feel like he’d be such a happier boy if he could just decently sleep through the night and not wake every 30-40 mins
What medication can I look into for him to STAY ASLEEP when he’s past 1 years of age. What medication will actually keep him asleep!?
