My baby is 8 months old, and still wakes up at night. It’s not just waking up to suck, but also to play. She just doesn’t want to sleep! Falling asleep during the day is not a problem, but when night comes, she wakes up every two hours, and she can be awake for several hours. I’m losing my strength and the will to get up and I’m afraid I’ll lose my patience, even though I know I should be thankful because she’s a healthy and happy baby. My husband have more patience but we both are tired and Im beginning to worry for our mental health and relationship. I tried few sleeping techniques but none of them was useful to me Do you have some advice?

    If you are beginning to lose a grip with being mentally healthy, check the baby for your own sanity, once fed,changed burped, let them cry.

    If not that then take full on turns when you have whole nights to sleep.

    You sound like you are past a breaking point , but are too polite to realize it.
