So there's a trick to putting a newborn down for sleep, right? Lol anyone? Instead of sleeping til 2 like I planned I'm nursing at 1. At least she's not crying/whining though 😩 breaks my heart 💔

My husband slept the whole damn time we were in the hospital. He encouraged her going with the nurses because he wanted to sleep. I was too damn doped up to fight it 😩 damn those c sections 😔

@dijahhh, lol that's hilarious. I slept through church as a baby too. The nurse just offered to take her and I can't stand the thought of her leaving! I'll just wait to til he wakes his ass up

@awaylaelder, thank you. For now I'm up with her while my husband naps. She did well with the swaddle blanket for like 5 minutes lol

It's best to get her used to noises though. So when y'all get home you won't have to tip toe around her! My baby girl can sleep through church (and it's loud in there) lol.

😂 I let her go to the nursery when I was in the hospital. I was on so much meds I could barely keep my eyes open. Only long enough to feed her, and even then she'd fall asleep on my boob and I'd be sleep right with her 😂

Deep sleep worked and still works for our daughter. We also swaddled her when she was a baby and that worked well also.

@dijahhh, lol thanks that's a good technique. We're still in hospital so any movement creaks this loud ass bed and bassinet and she's up again smacking her lips together

#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep! Please ask @nurturingsleepsolutions anything by tagging her in the comments below. And a big thanks to @nurturingsleepsolutions for participating in this chat! Hailee welcomes you to follow her Facebook Page Nurturing Sleep Solutions for more live Q&A’s and helpful Facebook Live sleep tips! Let’s get chatting! 🍁mom.life_usa🍂
Babygirl knocked out sleep
shut the door? does anyone shut their child's door while they sleep? (if they sleep in their own room)
Co sleeping...yay or nay? Lately Molly hasn't want to sleep in her crib and sleep with us. Which is fine but we do want her to sleep in her crib

@dijahhh, damn them indeed! But if it got you some well needed rest I'm sure it was for the best! I'm just too controlling/stubborn/untrustworthy lol
