I so need some comforting words right now. Olivia is in her crib. We started sleep training her with naps. Today is day 3 and the first day we have put her in her crib for the night. No crying at all. I'm so relieved and happy. But...
I miss my baby. This is so difficult for me. I'm trying so hard not to go in there and pick her up out of her crib and take her into bed with me. I just want my baby girl with me. I need to stay strong for her and for me. But this is so incredibly difficult 💔

Aw.. I got a 2yr old who still co-sleeps with me. She's doesn't want to be alone in her room! The reason is, she is not a good sleeper, ever since she was months old. She doesn't sleep straight like other kids.
@sarahmartinez817, thank you so much mama ❤️ that's what's getting me through this, knowing I'm helping her learn. My husband is currently pouring me a glass of wine 😁 so that helps too lol
@missliss amen to that. And thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
@lydia007, I'm always here for you too. Judgment free. My inbox is always open if you ever need anything. I agree, I feel like there is so much cattiness out there. It's nice to be able to have support and solidarity
You're doing so well with this, you and your daughter both! Her being able to self-soothe and be in her crib on her own means you've done a great job raising a strong, happy little lady and this is just her starting to grow into that.
It doesn't help the first few nights, but it does get easier. And the sweet smile you'll get when you go get her in the morning (or the middle of the night cuz, hey, it's her first night on her own, let's be realistic) will make your heart feel so much better.
Hang in there, mama, you rock!
Being a mom is hard, we all should be there for one another.
@missliss we all need each other some days. I know when I feel sad I would love knowing someone out there, even if I don't know them, would want to reach out. Genuine words go far, mentally and emotionally. You can always message me if you need or want to chat, love. You're welcome, anytime.
@lydia007, you have no idea how much that means to me, very very comforting words. Thank you so much mama ❤️ I really needed to hear that
Oh girl, you are definitely on the right track. I give props to any mother that accomplished this particular situation, it's a huge obstacle to cross. Think of it this way, when she wakes for the day, the smiles and love she gives you to say "good morning" should reassure you that you're doing a wonderful job. It's hard, I'm sure. Hell, watching my kids sleep sometimes, make me at times want them to be awake just to hug me. They are our flesh and blood. You got this, love.
@anastazia.anglesey, she hasn't grown out of cuddling yet thank goodness
@butterflykissapril, thank you so much ❤️ my husband is currently holding me while I'm a puddle of emotions lol
Sending you positive vibes! I would feel the same way! You are a strong mama! 💞💖💓😍
@crabby0910, awww poor love ❤️ my niece is the same way. She will sleep with my brother and sister in law or my nephew
