My sleep schedule has been terrible for about a year. I didn't sleep much the last 4ish months of pregnancy and I certainly haven't slept much since having Macy.
Those first 3 months are always tough. I expected to be up every couple of hours. However, I didn't expect that trend to continue this long. Macy's 7 months old, and I can think of one occasion where she slept longer than a 3 hour stretch. Every night, she's up anywhere from 4-10 times.
I've read babies sleep better at night if they take good naps during the day, but Miss Macy likes to take teeny tiny 5-15 minute cat naps just 2-3 times a day. At least one of those naps is brought on by the cry it out method too. I've tried everything to get her to nap more or sleep longer at night, but she's not having it. The excuses I've come up with for it are maybe she's teething or maybe it's her eczema. I'm not sure. Whatever the reason is, I hope she grows out of it soon.
