Sleep help!
So for the past couple weeks dd has been sleeping horribly. Like we're talking up 3-4 times a night, only settling after eating even if she just ate a couple hours before, not wanting to be put down. I'm just not sure what happened. We had gotten down to once a night then all of a sudden this started happening. My first dd was a horrible sleeper as well and I'm starting to think its something I'm doing. She's currently sleeping in her swing after a 5 oz bottle. She refused to be put in her crib or rock n play. She is currently in a mental leap and will be 4 months in about a week. Should i just wait and see if it's a phase? How long does one consider it a phase or just the new normal? I'm at my wits end because I'm working and need my sleep. Any advice or insight is much appreciated.

Well she had a 4 oz bottle at 7:30 and then another at 10:45 then slept until 3:45 then went back to sleep until I had to wake her at 6:30. This is the best it has been in weeks! I've ordered a swaddle up and will attempt to get her in her crib and out of the swing when that comes in. At daycare she doesn't take great naps. Could that be messing everything up?
I would suggest reading a book on sleep. With babies consistently is important. Pick a plan and stick with it. Here are some things that ive learned. Routine (not schedule) something predictable for babies like eat active time sleep every 3/4hours. Bed time routine around the same time, sleeping in a dark quiet room with white noise. Taking good naps. Never let them be awake longer then 1.5-2 hours. And early bedtime-somewhere around 7-8pm. Also try laying them down drowsy but awake so they learn how to put themselves to sleep. That helps a lot! I like the book healthy sleep habits healthy child. Secrets of a baby whisperer is good too but I feel like she pushes feeding your baby a lot. I never did a dream feed with either of my girls and both of them slept 10-12 hrs straight at 4 months and were breast fed. My first I used baby merlins Magic sleep suit and this one I have to swaddle bc she moves around like crazy! Hope you find something that helps. Good luck!!
My first did this same thing right around that time. It continued until she was 10 months and then I lost my mind and we had to do some sleep training. I was working too so I feel your pain. I am hoping and praying that my youngest skips this phase. I don't have any advice but I hope it passes quickly!
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...

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
