Dear ladies, I've been on the app for a while but this is my first post. I would appreciate your advice. This is my daughter Anna, and she's been a very decent baby up to this point, as soon as she reached 8 weeks she started to sleep for 8-10 hours. Once she hit the 4 months mark though she started to wake up like a newborn..I know there is supposed to be a sleep regression but I feel drained and was wondering how long it takes and if there's something I can do about it. How did it go for you? Thanks in advance!
@sara-lou, getting an idea of how much it may last somehow makes it more bearable, although I know each baby is different. Thanks a lot!
The 4months sleep regression lasted 3-4weeks with both my boys. There's nothing you can do to stop it or make it go quicker. But try to stick to normal routine. Try not to start any new habits as it'll be x10 harder to stop them after this regression. It's tiring but it won't be forever!! Lol
Thanks @jo.wilcox, good to know it happens. I guess I took the quiet nights for granted. I'll try to stick to the routine then and hope she snaps back into the nice pattern.
Charlie goes through phases like this. The last month or so he's started to sleep through the night, but last week he randomly decided to wake at 1 am, 3 am and 5 am all in one night.. I try to just stick to the same routine and bed time with him. His bed time is usually 8:30 but the last week he's been a sod and not going to sleep until 11:30 but I've still been giving him his last bottle at 8:15 and have him in bed by 8:30.. it's super draining when they're up all hours and you just want hat 'me' time at the end of the night but it's just something you've gotta ride out unfortunately 😩
@chesscalouise2, yeah, she sometimes rolls from tummy to back but I'm not sure she does it on purpose..
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
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!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Heh exactly, knowing it won't last forever keeps you going! Lol
