Please help a super sleep deprived mommy!!!

This is my first baby and she wakes up every hour. The only way to calm her down is by nursing. I can't function at work anymore
My husband wants me to let her cry but I can't do it.
Something gentle pretty please
Thanks

Hourly wake ups can indicate something is bothering her. Stomach etc. I wouldn’t train or anything yet until you rule things out. Does she sleep with her mouth open?

Thank you
She sleeps really well during the day
She's such a happy baby during the day, so I don't think anything is bothering her. She nurses for a few minutes and goes back into her bed

She sounds like she just loves mom! Oldest children can be spoiled like that.

You have to send your husband to put her back to sleep, like this she learns that you won't be able to nurse every time.

Also a sleeping coach told me that if they go to sleep when they are too tired and they don't sleep too well.

Sometimes also low iron can cause restlessness and a lot of wake ups. Maybe the doctor can check her iron? Waking up is normal. I don’t either sleep train. Hourly wake ups usually is a red flag of some sort

Maybe she’s ready for one nap then? She is how many months? My child switched to one nap around 14 months

I used the No Cry Sleep Solution (book) when my oldest was one. It took a few days but he stopped waking up as frequently.

My 10-month-old is now only taking one nap and I put in consistently to sleep every night at 7:00.

About the crying, it's something I really didn't want to do, but BH my baby is very stubborn and he didn't want to go to sleep so I have to let him cry a bit. I went in every few minutes to give him a hug and put him back down and tell him that I love him.

I didn't do an official sleep training, but he literally wouldn't go to sleep. By now he knows that he has to go to sleep.

Op can you nurse her lying down? That way you can just latch her half asleep and go right back to sleep yourself.

My breastfed babies nursed pretty much all night long for comfort until I weaned them at about 2 years.
