@paulsuni I wish he would! He sleeps in a different room on work nights so I’m on my own for the nights

@briank7 I’ll check it out, thanks! I would never ever even consider extinction or Ferber! When I say CIO I mean drowsy but awake, pick up put down or sitting next to the crib comforting baby without picking her up

@briank7 I have done all of those since 4 months old but it doesn’t help her sleep unfortunately

@gell We don’t have family near by, there’s no one to help during the day. Baby goes to bed around 8 at the latest and so do I, husband goes to work at 5:30am and baby doesn’t start her day until 7am, so it’s all on me unfortunately. My husband can take her in the mornings on the weekends but...

@miscellaneous She’s almost 7 months, but 22 lbs so too big to safely hold all night! She does contact nap most of the time throughout the day, but that’s just not sustainable at night

@miscellaneous I wasn’t super clear in my post (wrote it while very tired lol!) but my issue is both transferring her to the crib once asleep and then if I successfully transfer her she wakes up within about 45 minutes. So falling asleep isn’t the issue, she sleeps great in my arms and on the go...

@thedancingbaptist Thank you so much, I absolutely needed to hear this!! We had another hard night and something needs to change, my baby needs a happy and healthy mom more then she needs to be held (and possibly dropped) all night long. Unfortunately tonight I do think need to start a gentle...

@thedancingbaptist Thank you for your edit! I’m also absolutely not a fan of sleep training but I fell asleep holding her a couple times and that’s just so dangerous. Safe sleep is very important to me, which is why I’m considering my options

@thedancingbaptist Since the 4 month sleep regression. Before that she was consistently doing 8 hour stretches overnight

@crafty Wake windows of 3-3.5 hours depending on sleepy cues, 2 1.5 hour naps! Sleep routine is pjs/sleep sack, story, nursing to sleep/cuddles with a specific song

@sancurry93 Night weaning and no longer nursing to sleep are two very different things. I can still feed my baby on demand and rock her to sleep instead of nursing her to sleep

@heretoeternity1 There’s absolutely nothing wrong with nursing to sleep as long as it’s working for baby. It worked for my baby for a long time but now it doesn’t. She can’t connect sleep cycles without nursing and that’s just not sustainable

@crossroad77 Any tips on how to cap her nap?! I feel bad waking her up when I spend all my time trying to get her to sleep lol!

@ashleynicoleyoung2016 Her schedule is: 7 am wake up 10-11:30 nap 2:30-4 nap 7 or 7:30 bedtime We were doing 3 naps a day but it was pushing bedtime really late and she was really fighting that last nap so we made the switch to 2 naps, and it really improved her daytime sleep but hasn’t made...

@neostarwcc Thank you, this is very helpful!!! I’m going to be trying to start this tonight

@euthymios I’m sorry but I disagree with this. At 4 months you’re no longer recovering from childbirth, and especially at 9 months. To expect your husband to work 16 hours on 1 hour of sleep is unbelievable. My husband needs to be rested for safety reasons at his job. I’d much rather be...

@katrina2017 6 months. He works 12 hour days and doesn’t do nights. He might take her in the evening for a bit but not long enough for me to nap.

My baby simply won’t sleep for more then 45 minutes in her crib. I’m so tired. I’m at the point of feeling frustrated with the situation. It’s been months. I take care of baby on my own all night and all day, maybe on the weekend her dad will take her for a couple hours. I’m just so tired. I...
