Sorry. Im new around here and I just need to kind of vent I suppose. My 1yo has NEVER been a good sleeper at night. She wakes up multiple times; and yes EVERYONE says she shouldnt and points the finger at me. LIKE I WANT HER TO BE UP SO MUCH! Ive tried EVERYTHING...rocking, feeding, singing, changing, cosleeping...you name it. Ive done it. Nothing works and Im only getting MAYBE 3 hours of sleep at night and lately around this time my daughter wakes up and it takes a good 1-2 hours to coax her back to sleep. Am I the only one dealing with this type of thing?
My son is 8 months old and since he was born was an amazing sleeper! At 6 months old he decided he didn't want to sleep through the night...I was getting about 3 hours of sleep too...tried everything you said! I felt like going crazy...but one thing that worked for me was I bought a Walmart wax warmer and lavender scent wax bars...sprayed his sheets with lavender frebreeze and every night before bed I give him a bath and I use the Johnson baby bed time bath....honestly...it worked for me!! Lavender suppose to help you sleep and it helped him sleep so much better he still gets up once a night but goes right back to sleep! Maybe worth a shot?
So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours...
Waking to feed?
My dd is a week old and I was told by her doctor to wake her every 2 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night to feed her. For the first 3 days I did that and when I would wake her fit a night feeding she was fussy and usually wouldn't go back to sleep and would want to nurse constantly until about 9 am. I tried not waking her last night and she slept beautifully! She woke up around 6 hours in and ate then slept another hour or so and ate again. Is it ok to let her sleep?
When will baby sleep through the night? My daughter is almost 3 months and she is still waking up every 3 hours. 😩😴
mommys who co-sleep
Did you tell lo doctor you were co-sleeping? What is the response im going to get from her dr this month? She is almost 6 months and weve been co-sleeping since 4 months. She starts the night out in bed until she wakes up to eat, and then she comes into my bed.
This week has been the hardest week of my life! Ever since my 1 year old was born she’s always had an AMAZING sleep schedule. She would wake up once a night maybe two but it was rare. As she grew up she stopped waking up at all and would sleep her 9-10 hours straight. Well this week she’s been waking up 4 hours after her bedtime, crying and screaming. I rock her back to sleep but she’s like a ticking bomb, as soon as she feels me putting her on her crib she immediately wakes up crying. It’s take...
My daughter is 18 months and STILL wakes up 2/4 times a night. My pediatrician finally said, "some kids are just bad sleepers. You can always hire a sleep consultant if you feel like you need to." So. I called and she was very nice, before coming to visit and even charging us, she told us that routine is KEY. That kids benefit most of an exact time frame layout. Well. That won't work for us, as we both work every fluctuating schedules. So, we never hired her to come in... we figured until we have a good time-friendly routine down, there's no use spending $400 on a sleep consultant.
