Consistently short sleep duration more likely to precede symptoms than inverse, genetic data reveal

    I can fall asleep easily and early, only to be awoken at least once an hour by the baby waking up and crying. That is been going on like that for the last three weeks. Really hoping he will be able to sleep a bit longer soon ^^

      Congrats on the baby! The first few months are hard, but it will get much better soon!

        Plot twist: it’s the neighbor’s baby in a newly constructed “luxury” apartment complex with paper thin walls. OP is just a really empathetic and patient person, and does not begrudge the neighbor.

          Are you swaddling the baby? That got ours to sleep through the night. It seems like it would be mean, but they like it.

            We did when he was smaller, but now he is over 7 months so I think he needs to be able to move a bit during the night. My guess is that it’s probably the 8-Months sleep regression.

              I admit, I can’t remember how long we did it for. I think until she figured out how to get out of it every night, but I don’t know how old she was.
