Idk what to do anymore

My son is very dependent on his paci. He wakes every 3 hours at night to eat. I try to help him soothe himself with even trying to get to sleep with the paci and everything but he's such a fighter. He has so much energy to fight sleep even when he's so tired. He's a distracted eater which is why he likes to eat at night. I've been trying to feed him even more during the day, even started solids but this kid won't budge. I'm starting to think he's just gonna have to grow out of it? I thought I could help him and I but nothing I do seems to make a dent in helping us get more sleep or him eating more during the day like he's supposed to. I've even tried co sleeping. I think I might need to get him more tired like work out more but idk what else to do. All my attention goes to him as a sahm, he has toys, jumper, I take him places to learn and see. How do I get him more tired??? Seriously.

I've been going through this with my LO. Last week was rough- one day she ate 9oz during the day other days she was just snacking. Daddy was on his night rotation so I thought it was a good idea to try sleeping in the crib. OMG by night 4 I was so wore out I put her in the bed with me instead of her pack n play in our room. Between my 14mo old and her I was sleep walking during the day. And she only naps 30 min intervals. 15 months and I haven't slept over 6 hours once ?

Lol that's how my son is! Even the picture on the wall distracts him. He sleeps so good in his crib but is just hungry throughout the night. That's why I'm scared to permanently co sleep and go backwards. I just can't think of ways to get him any more tired or work out or to eat more during the day. I think I'll try slowly increasing his bottles. I've lessened the bottles at night down to 4 oz. because he was downing 6 oz. at night a few times but only drinking 2-3 oz during the day. I thought maybe he has days/nights mixed up but i don't see how he could. I think it's solely distraction.

Oh boy. I got macey to drink more my getting her a half oz extra in each bottle. Did that for s few days then added another half oz. She went from 4 oz to 4 1/2 oz to 5 oz. In a few days I'll start with 5 1/2 oz then to 6. She also wakes to eat at night 2-4 times a night. And she won't fall asleep without a bottle in her mouth lol guess they will need to grow out of it. Maybe slowly giving more milk will help. Try feeding in a quiet place so baby is less distracted. My first was so distracted when eating. I couldn't have anyone around him when eating or the TV on. I had to have a quiet room for him or he wouldn't eat. And I couldn't look at him while he had a bottle.

My goodness! The struggle is so rough!! Haha that's why I've given up and I just feed him at night but I would love to help him eat more during the day, then he wouldn't be so hungry at night. I think he teething pain prevents him from eating a lot during the day.

I'm a SAHM too, and all of my energy during the day goes to keeping our little girl busy. She has a high motor, doesn't nap well, and no matter how little sleep she gets during the day or how tired she is, she still doesn't fall asleep before 10 pm and wakes every 2-4 hours at night. It sucks, but if they're waking up to eat then they're hungry.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday…

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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

I give up. I'm done trying get him to follow thru with anything. he says well have a good night tonight and he's sleeping. he's been sleeping since 6. he always wants foot rubs and back rubs, and I stay up till 2AM doing his laundry, I wake up early to make his lunch and coffee. And I even wake him up to feed him so he doesn't go to bed hungry, I make sure he has everything for work, and I pretty much do everything. he spent his entire paycheck last week and I gave him the only 50$ I had to my name so he could make it to work till he gets paid again. did I get a thank you for any of those? no. I get him sleeping all day every second he's off work, and being an asshole to me when I miss something.

At What Age Should a Child Make Their Own Breakfast?

Make your own breakfast! At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
