I'm pretty sure that every friend that I have who has children has managed to find a way to tell me over the last few months that their child/children slept through the night by the time they were 3/4/5/6 months old.
So here I am, with a six month old. Almost 7 months old, really. Not sleeping through the night. Still up 1/2/3 times. Completely inconsistent bed times. Completely inconsistent nap times. Completely inconsistent get up times. We've tried to do the same things at the same times every day...and we've been consistent in trying.
Side note...if you know me, you know how type A I am. Trust me when I say that we've tried and tried and tried and tried.
In any case, if she's not ready to get up or go down, she completely resists. Like we're talking flat out fits. Screaming, shaking.
So she ends up going to sleep at night, napping, and getting up in the morning when she wants, resisting all scheduling attempts.
And naps for *maybe* 45 minutes at a time. Sometimes stays down for up to 4 hours at a stretch at night...but sometimes half that or less.
I'm feeling a little frustrated. Anyone have any advice to offer?
