Sleeping through the night

Question

When will my LO ever sleep through the night 😭He is 5.5months now, having 1 feed at midnight between 12-2am and stirs on and off throughout the night. I am desperate for him to sleep through the night so I can get a good night sleep too 😭I know I sound selfish for wanting a good sleep but I am really really really tired. Some nights he only stirs for milk but some nights are harder when he stirs every hour for pat pats.Hes been unwell the last 1 week where he caught a cold, this is the reason why he is behaving more clingy and sticky even at night when he sleeps? I feel really sad whenever I hear my colleagues baby (of similar age), sleeping through the night but my little one seems to be really far from sleeping through. #advicepls #pleasehelp

some babies don’t even sleep through the night at 1 year old! teething can also make him more clingy

Im a FTM and all I did with my LO is basically get her on a schedule. so she takes her naps during the day. Wash and get him ready for bed time. I would use camomile honest lotion to massage her before putting on her pj. Feeding her of course and burp very important that she doesnt go to sleep gassy. then once shes settled I wrap her up in my arm and hum her to sleep. then I gentle place her back in the cot like every other night.
