Sleep schedule help - nothing is working

A

My 3 month old's sleep is all over the place. Some nights he'll sleep 5 hours straight, other nights he's up every hour. We've tried different schedules, white noise, dark room, everything. We're exhausted. Is this normal or are we doing something wrong? My wife thinks we should let him cry it out but he's only 3 months, feels too early. Anyone been through this?

The 5 hour stretch is actually a win at that age. Hang in there, it's chaos for a while but it does eventually settle into something resembling a pattern. Took us about four months.

Three months in and sleep is still totally random for us too. Some nights are great, some nights he's up every two hours. Everyone says it gets better but man, it's tough right now.

Are you tracking when he sleeps? Sometimes I found it helpful to see if there was any pattern at all, even if it seemed random. Also, don't be afraid to ask your pediatrician about it.
