@cyruse We have just enough money to pay the bills but none extra to buy anything new or hire help, unfortunately.

@kaylalala Our 2 month appointment was yesterday and er were just told to get the Snoo which we can’t afford, so not helpful!

@kaylalala We have our 2 month appointment coming up this week but we have talked to a few pediatric nurses and doctors about our situation already. We have Kaiser and I have called the advice line so many times seeking any kind of help to solve our problem (other than bed sharing) and the only...

@jonny1001 Sorry, he’s 11 weeks old.

@kaylalala Thank you for your empathy. We contact nap all day long. I wear him in a sling and it hasn’t helped him sleep deeper at night, at least independently. We don’t have any retired or stay at home family members who live close enough to help more than a day a week. But thank you for...

@cupoftea So glad you posted a positive update! Happy that you guys are back on track.

@rollo22 He definitely has reflux, but he’s on Pepcid for it and a special formula. He doesn’t have symptoms anymore because we manage it. That’s why I was sleeping kangaroo style with him and that worked for a week and now suddenly he absolutely will not sleep that way.

@rawrightx Backstreet Boys! Awful, but kinda funny, sorry! I heard phantom cries in the shower or when I was trying to nap and someone else had the baby, and I would hear patterned noises or distant tunes in the white noise machine. I hated it.

@juliand I finally resorted to sleeping with him like that and it worked for a week and now suddenly he just doesn’t want to sleep like that anymore. He was giving me 3.5-4.5 hour sleeps at night, and then he pulled the rug out from under me and said PSYCH! I have never heard of a cranial...

@rawrightx Yup! I was for sure having auditory hallucinations from the continuous sleep deprivation. Scary.

@ady2015 Right! So far the few who have commented that they would never have yet to respond to my request for an alternative solution. Because what was going on seemed much riskier to me than what we’re doing now. I had to pick my poison and choose from the options available to me.

@wren84 Yes to all of it. I added more info to the post, thanks for helping me realize that I did indeed leave it all out.

@kowon My husband can only help me a few hours a day because he’s working and due to a medical condition can’t do any night shifts. I’m basically on my own.

@wren84 We are on the 5th formula and it is hypoallergenic because the doctor thinks he has a milk protein allergy on top of the reflux.

I don’t know what to do. Nothing works to keep my baby asleep except in my arms. My back is killing me, my arms are killing me. We have tried every tip and trick I can find on the internet and in these subreddits. Falling asleep is the easy part, he just won’t stay that way. He keeps waking up...

@robertnethromik 8 weeks. He slept independent really well through week 5, but then at 6 weeks it all went to crap.

@kowon What would you recommend then? Because otherwise, my baby isn’t sleeping unless being held. So he’s either crying in his bassinet while I wear noise cancelling head phones or I’m sleep deprived holding him all day and I’m accidentally falling asleep on the couch or rocking chair while...

@brightmoon Same with me and my husband so I’ve been in the nursery. I’m also in California but I just run cold. Even on the hottest summer nights, I still need a light blanket to feel comfortable.

@kolibri Right! Exactly how I feel, especially because of how many moms I know who do this and just don’t advertise it.

@pulickalbrothers Yes, thank you for this perspective. I already have fallen on my stairs in the last week! I was dead on my feet. I’m thankful that my husband had the baby at the time, but that could have very easily not been the case.
