Help! Looking for non-CIO suggestions for 8.5 month old who wakes up all night long...


My daughter is 8.5 months old and I actually feel like I might die of sleep deprivation from exhaustion because she's currently waking up every 1-2 hours all night long every night and has been doing so for months. She's never been a great sleeper but she's actually getting worse - when she was 2-3 months old she would occasionally sleep for a 4-hour stretch but that's unheard of now. Any suggestions? She's EBF and most of the time I BF her back to sleep but I don't think she's waking out of hunger because sometimes she doesn't even want the boob - she just wants to be held. At night she sleeps in a dark room with white noise in a crib next to our bed. I'd rather not bed share but it's probably not an option anyway as she goes berserk if she's put down in the bed. Day naps are also crappy as she will only sleep in someone's arms and not in her cot. I'm not willing to do CIO but I don't know what else to do. Has anyone else had the same issue that resolved itself? I know this too shall pass but it's really bloody passing slowly! via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2iZrk3h
