SLEEP

Every time someone posts about their 6 week old sleeping through the night, I want to punch a wall. My 14 month old has slept through the night probably 5 times in his life. I'm fcking tired. He used to get up only once. Now he's up 4 - 5x a night. Honestly, idk if I want any more children. All I can think about is going years and years never sleeping. I'm losing my faking mind. It's honestly starting to make me angry every time I have to get up. (Obviously not enough to hurt him). my husband wonders why I never want sex. I use all my energy just trying to get trough the day to have another s*** tty night. I still bf him at night.

My LO is 15 months. He has never slept through the night. He nurses hourly, sometimes more. I'll be lucky if he sleeps more than an hour at a time. We co-sleep, because honestly I would be dead asleep in a rocking chair if I didn't. My nipples feel like someone rubbed them against sandpaper. I just keep thinking, "He will get older. This won't be forever"

Awe I know exactly how you feel, my 12 month old has slept through the night 10 times, maybe? It's so frustrating, I mean she will wake up like 6 times a night ? luckily she has been doing pretty well since Christmas Eve and has slept through all but one time. These have been such wonderful days lol. I do have bad news though, your stupid body will be so used to waking up that you'll still wake up during the night, you just don't have to get out of bed lol. Good luck, I hope your LO sleeps through soon, I know how it feels to be exhausted all the time. Oh and I breastfeed too, I've been making sure she eats about 1.5-2 hours before bedtime and then I nurse her to sleep.

Im on the same boat! My 14 month old daughter does not sleep through the night, wakes up 5x sometimes much more!

Im losing my mind! I also breastfeed so I think she expects it every minute, I am literally a zombie all day all night.

Even if she stops bf it doesn't mean the child will sleep through.

I stopped bf my son at 9 months. He didn't see through till he was 2. I had to do CIO to make him sleep through.

Maybe just do 1 nap. My dd is 12 months and usually takes 1 nap but it varies because I'm trying to put her on a real schedule

I feel your pain. My dd didn't start sleeping thru the night till she was 2.5ish. We had to stop naps all together and make aure she has a good bed time snack. She slept thru for 5 months and now is up at least once a night again. It's great concidering I'm 16 weeks pregnant and up every 2 hrs to pee. Urgh maybe in 10 years I will get some sleep.

My youngest only gets 1 nap and if he's not up by at the most 2 hours after he fell asleep, I wake him up. Also, I make sure he's been fed a good filling meal for dinner and then a small snack before he falls asleep. He usually gets a bath and his teeth brush and I also bought a night light a bit ago and I think its helping them. My toddler I do the same except she won't take a nap now. The night light is a lady bug and throws stars and a moon at the ceiling. Hope some of these things help you.

I agree about less naps.. My baby takes little cat naps during the day and sleeps all night. He also plays a lot during the day so he is worn out. Lol and I fill that belly up once it is time for bed.

My 2 1/2 year old and 1 year old barely started sleeping through the night a little over a week ago so I hope it stays that way. I have been so tired and frustrated that I would get upset at other parents whose kids actually slept. Maybe try taking away one of the naps or at leatt cutting them short?

Up until my daughter was almost 3 she took a nap. Honestly when I cut her down to one nap a day(about two hours long), she did way better over night. I think your LO is the perfect age for that transition and maybe that will give you a little break at night.

Don't stop the napping just wake your baby up. Serah would nap for three hours but she wouldn't fall asleep at night so I let her nap for two hours and later one. And now she doesn't nap at all but she's 2.5. Sometimes I do let her nap but not to long.

How do you stop the napping?

I'd say he's sleeping too much during the day. My 15 month old dd sleeps 8pm - 8.30am and has a 2 hour nap between 1pm - 3pm

She didn't sleep through until 12 months

My youngest started sleeping through the night when I stopped breastfeeding at night. She started of as a good sleeper but when she started teething it all went down hills. Eventually she stopped eating and wanted nothing but breastmilk. I started weaning when she was two (and a few months)

My daughter was the same way until she turned two! It was awful! Then at 2 I weaned her from bf and after a week she was weaned AND slept through the night! It was amazing! Now she sleeps through the night most nights unless she doesn't eat enough dinner and then she will wake up hungry..... Seriously so nervous about this second baby, now that I know what a full nights sleep looks like I'm scared to go back!

Try cutting it down to one and see if that helps. My son (2 year old) used to take a nap during the day probably 2hours or 3 and would wake up at night now he takes no naps and sleeps through the night

Maybe try to restrict it to only one nap a day. And see if that helps. It sounds like your LO is a little too old for multiple naps a day and that might be contributing to him being up all night.

How do I get myself up at the crack of dawn??? Lol I want to wake up and have time to myself in the morning, maybe take a dog running(trade off days with the big guys). Plus it’s the most peaceful time in the house. I’ve never been a morning person. I even worked evenings jobs (when I was you younger) mostly due to me not being able to wake up early. Lol. Annnnd wanting to stay out and party. That’s not the case anymore. Not out partying. I know the heat can make me exhausted, but I usually get enough sleep. I stay hydrated too. Just want to make a positive change in my life. I could get a lot done in that time. Having the entire house down LOL
