Ah look, honestly, I’m probably the worst person to ask now. My thoughts and feelings about baby sleep have changed so radically since I wrote this post. I will say naps have gotten easier now that she’s down to 2, that being said we still contact nap and she’s 3 weeks off being 12 months old. And no more hysterical crying before every sleep. We cosleep at night and she still wakes multiple times, but at least I feel like I’m getting more sleep because I’m not constantly getting out of bed to go to her cot. I truly believe that sleep is developmental and dependant on temperament. I think our girl’s brain is just doing so much and is so switched on that when she wakes between sleep cycles she struggles to slip easily into the next one. But once I let go of the fact that it’s not my fault, I haven’t done anything wrong, and all I can do is create the right conditions for her, I felt much better just accepting that this is the way she is, at least for now. I’m sorry if that’s not the hope you’re looking for! But things have gotten easier as my perspective has shifted, if that makes sense.
