@spaceleaf A LOT of people have recommended Ferber and we tried but didn’t stick to it. Sleep training is something we need to do and stick to.

@allwhoarethirsty I suggest when he’s playing on his phone or whatever that he do it in the living room until she’s asleep and he gets upset about half the time. I get that you want to spend time with me and be in our comfy bed but we could do that quicker if I could get the damn baby to sleep lol

@klonopin48 What’s great is she was sleeping so much better when I had that little “routine” down. She was still a shit sleeper, but for her it was a vast improvement. Husband fought that (it was annoying for him to come into our room to get ready for bed and have to navigate in the dark as well...

@kevinkyle I appreciate you all telling me how your kids sleep too because it makes me feel better that it isn’t just me, it’s my kid being herself. She needs her own room. Husband is also doing all of the construction himself so I feel bad for this, but I do resent the fact that I was promised...

@ctscathy The night feedings being every hour or two is what is really disrupting our sleep (understandably), we are using that book Nursies When the Sun Shines to try to limit her to one feed a night. It’s not really working as I don’t want to wake the whole house up when the baby wakes up...

@ctscathy I really love it most of the time! Would be nice to reduce night feedings and if she would stop twiddling me so painfully that would also be great haha

@donnessa Right?! He thinks it’s the nursing and my caffeine intake (I don’t drink more coffee than the average mom) but he’s literally NEVER been able to sleep on his own…

@jorian Mine luckily is good about most things. He might have her in the most ridiculously mismatched clothing, and she might not be ready for bed most nights, but he has her fed and cleaned up. Omg what is with people and their hang ups about breastfeeding?!? They seriously blame your kid...

@destino ❤️❤️thank you mamma!

@destino I’ve been told by so many people in my life that by breastfeeding her past the age of 1, I’m coddling her like my parents did with my brother and I, but neither my brother nor myself were results of extended breastfeeding or co-sleeping (my mom had supply issues and we had our own...

@destino Nope, never. Not even once.

@destino Seriously, like a lot of the times that I nurse her to sleep in the middle of the night it’s so she doesn’t wake the whole house up. My step kids have school the next day and my husband, when woken up abruptly, sometimes is very disoriented and scared. So yeah, I put her on my titty to...

@godisgoodtome11 I think they have to be 3 or 4 for melatonin due to possible side effects. She definitely has something that keeps her from getting tired like a normal human haha Her older half-brother has adhd and I know my husband had some undiagnosed add- or adhd-type issues, and I suspect...

@richies Oh great lmao! I’m sorry, mamma!

@clarityaim I TELL PEOPLE THIS EXACT THING AND THEY ACT LIKE I AM MAKING SHIT UP. Everything else you said is also wonderful. I will save this and show my husband (who just woke up and is ironically in a great mood and willing to talk about last night). We have a big walk-in closet and one...

@doubledogdare He grew up around utter chaos (huge family) and then joined the military where you’re in a room with 75 other people she you have no pillows and a hard ass cot/bed only to be screamed at at the asscrack of dawn to wake up. No wonder he has nightmares when he does sleep. I also...

@isaiah4318 Ooo I need to invest in these books. I work in a restaurant so no HR. I might just have to tell them myself to shove it.

@laddersdoorskeys Lol I have breastfed her more times than I can count since his rant last night. Twice it was right in front of him and he was totally fine. In fact I’m nursing her right now lmao I do think that a lack of intimacy is a shitty thing to have in a marriage but I read these...

@bernard05 Yeah I say she’s just very energetic! What’s funny is his mom said of her 9 children he’s the only one who she couldn’t get to sleep. Apple meet tree

@inthemissouri My pediatrician gave us advice for the sleeping and she called it extended nursing after the age of 1 so I assumed, but I don’t know if that’s universal! I don’t get it when people tell me she’s too old, she can’t talk yet or use the potty and she’s still a fking baby! It’s like...
