Sleeping through the night
Anybody else’s babies STILL not sleeping through the night ????
I️ need to stick to some program to get her to sleep without the boob. It’s hard though bc I️ need to be consistent and I️ can’t do that when my husband is home in the daytime bc he does not let her cry at all. I️ hate hearing her cry too but I️ think it’d be best in the long run. Having back up is def nice!
I️ found my daughter just sitting up in her crib last night looking around at 4am. We are in a one bedroom condo and she is in the room with us. She saw me get up to use the bathroom and started screaming of course. But I’m like ‘what is she doing just sitting up looking around at 4am and not sleeping!’ ??♀️??♀️ but her being able to sit up makes it harder for her to sleep on her own. ?
Firstbaby we can rock him to sleep using a dummy if he's not hungry (or if it's not a designated feeding time at night) - he's not really hungry half the time, just wants cuddles and comfort. Dummy is just a different prop really, so we'll be trying the sleep lady shuffle to try to teach him to settle himself - think we're in for a long hard slog though, he's going to resist.
Must be tough on you during the night being on your own - I do 99% of night wakings but I do like knowing I have my husband as a back up in case I'm having a really hard time
Clarefin— we also have a serious boob to sleep problem. Idk how I’m going to break it bc my husband works nights and no one can put her to sleep but me. Because I have the boob, I can’t rock her or do anything else to put her to sleep. She screams her head off. Idk what I’m going to do!
When I tried reintroducing dairy into my diet his sleep went to pot, and didn't recover til I'd been dairy free for about a week... And by recover I mean back to only 3-4 wakings per night ? Planning to try some sleep training in a week or so after my husband gets back from a work trip - baby has been fed to sleep from day 1 so we have a serious boob to sleep problem!
Lol no! Not one of mine sleeps through the night yet!! I am one tired mumma... plus we are all sick again so next to no sleep at all being had here
