The following is an email that I sent in to a baby sleep site, but I was wondering if any mothers out there had any experience with sleep regression also. Any advice for me. Appreciate it. 💗😒🙁😔😢🚫😴
I need some major help for unfortunately I am at my nerves end. My toddler started her 18 month sleep regression about a month early. She is now 19 months old. Started with her waking up frequently where then she ended up in our bed. Then the sleep regression turned into bad sleeping habits to where she won't go to bed til 12:30-1am.
I have tried to limit her sleeping time at night and during naps, which makes her unbearably cranky. I also just read in your 5 steps book that that doesn't work and is counterintuitive, which makes a lot of sense. I just thought that if she was overly tired, she'd sleep. It worked only a few times.
I took out most of her toys from her room, and I still need to put up the smaller rail for her crib since she is now able to climb out.
It feels nearly impossible to get out of this root that was created and it seems that she'll never be on a normal sleeping schedule. What makes matters worse, I am 20 weeks pregnant and don't feel the best and/or tired.
Do you please have any suggestions for this tired, pregnant momma? Thank you.
My daugter was TERRIBLE at that age. She would scream when I put her to bed, woke up multiple times a night... I already only get 5-6hours of sleep, and was down to 2-3 hours. I have never allowed my daughter in my bed no matter how tired I was. I comforted her in her room and would put her back to bed. There were times she would do nothing but scream. Finally, after weeks of this, I caved, I let her scream it out, she eventually got the hint and started sleeping through the night... it was very hard.
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.
So we got in super late last night. Had to carry my daughter to bed.
She had the nerve to try and wake me up at 7:30am saying she wanted breakfast. Smh (She wanted me to fix her a spread)🙄
I told her to choose some cereal. I'll fix her a bowl. Of course there wasn't any cereal that she wanted today 😴
I told her spoiled ass to figure it out and I went back to sleep 😂🤣
She ate an eggo.
My baby is coming down with a cold and her nose is runny 😞 she can’t even sleep any suggestions on any medicine I just want to make her feel better
omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Thank you @klp16. Her dada gave her some tough love last night and she was asleep by 10:30. She woke up a few times, and was in bed with us for an hour. Progress, slowly but surely.
