So we tried keeping baby girl up for most of the day yesterday since like 11am, she had only like a couple small one hour naps...and she was super tired by 11pm and fell asleep on booby, so I set her in bed like I always do thinking HOORAY she's asleep before 4am!!! She wakes up. Apparently not ready to sleep yet. I give her to hubby and tell him I'm going to lie down on the couch because I've only had 8 hours of sleep in the past TWO DAYS, let me know when she's asleep...he's always magic at getting her to sleep but only when I'm not in the room. Sure enough, I wake up from falling asleep two hours later, and she's sound asleep on my side of the bed next to her daddy. I asked why he didn't come to get me and he said he figured I'd come in and check. I try and transfer her to her bed and guess fuckin what. My dumbass wakes her up. Fed her and she's still fuckin wide awake. I should have just slept on the couch all night 😢 they were better off without me....I feel like a fuckin failure as a mother. She rather cosleep with her daddy, and because I can't cosleep with them she won't sleep....I honestly feel like they'd just be better off without me 😩😭

I don't think it's the cosleep mama she loves the closeness of you and daddy plus the bed. She just don't like sleeping alone period. Here what I learned about babies when you're trying so darn hard to get them to sleep they will play at your games even when they're really sleepy. Just hold them and distract them at the same time and boom! They're asleep but wait awhile longer before putting them down. Some love to fake sleep and mess with you@hellosweetie

She's always been so good at sleeping from the beginning, was sleeping 8 hours straight at night from 2 months on, would fall asleep with us then would sleep the rest of the night in her bed right next to me....around 4 months she hit the sleep regression and it has steadily gotten worse, now she's 6 months and the past week she hasn't wanted to sleep until 4am, even with unlimited booby time (which ALWAYS helps her sleep) and cuddles....Rocking, booby time, cuddles, distractions, playing, quiet/dark room, nothing seems to work lately she's just wide awake and wants to play and laugh and we're just dyin lol....and I just feel bad and like a failure because we got her to sleep early tonight and I screwed it up....she just fell back asleep a little bit ago and I'm about to put her back down in a few more.....@deafmama16,

I'm sorry everyone, I know I'm being ridiculous and these things come and go but it's just so hard, she hasn't been this effected by a growth spurt since the one she had after she was 1 month old....I know it'll pass I'm just stressed about our move this Saturday and depressed.....and I feel like a bad mom a lot 😢

@hellosweetie, no no you're NOT a bad mom. Don't say nor think that. You know what I see? You have a growing diva in training on your hand who is a daddy girl big time. No worries remember she loves momma just as much she loves daddy. She going through the total diva phase is what I call it lol it's gonna be alright my niece is the same way now she two she grew out of it

@hellosweetie, lol I believe it and don't worry once she calms down and get back on schedule you can get part of your sleep back but it will slowly come back to normal. :) don't fret at all

is ok mama she also senses ur stress..
remember we r w them 24/7 so they know our energy but once they sense a neutral energy or even daddy they fall right back asleep.... is normal.
