Mamas I need some advice. My daughter just turned six months. She’s been a perfect sleeper and would always fall asleep nursing. Starting a few days ago she literally is a nightmare to sleep. I mean won’t nap to the point of exhaustion, is off schedule that she had and takes over an hour of getting to sleep at night vs the 15min it would take before. I’m at a loss for words idk what is going on. She does this thing where she pulls her blanket over her head and kicks and whales her body around making noises after she eats like a burst of energy when I know damn well she’s sooo tired. Anyone have any suggestions? Time for sleep training? Ps I know nursing to sleep is a bad habit

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, I literally just started today. Small amount of cereal for lunch but she doesn’t really know how to eat like that, she doesn’t understand to swallow it she just moves it in her mouth and is more interested in grabbing the spoon lol so we have a little ways till she can eat enough to fill her up

@itsdestyn, yes I think I’m going to try winding her down earlier and doing a longer bedtime routine by adding bath at night. It used to wake her up rather than calm her down but that’s because it was all so new to her and she was learning to splash and play but now that she knows I think it could possibly help calm her down. I’ll try that thank you

@kirstynnicole try putting her in a bouncer during the day that vibrates and plays music, that might help with the napping. Have you started her on solids yet? A fuller tummy could help her sleep better at night

@karensmommy, yes she just had her first one pop out possibly another one coming. I think it’s that and a growth spurt too because Her behavior is changing too. This is all so new to me so I get worried about things like her not sleeping. But it’s also stressful when I don’t get any me time. We will get through this, thank you!

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, yes! She’s been in her own little schedule for months and I got so used to it lol. But with her not napping I can’t get anything done and it’s exhausting for me as well since I have no help 😞 hopefully we get over this soon. I think I may have to start sleep training, but I’m just so lost how to even do that. She sleeps with us in bed still

She may just be going through a growth spurt, babies change their routine when that happens. Whenever my son went through one I just had to change the routine around his new schedule and work with it, there was a lot of compromising lol.
