Haven’t been on much because let’s be honest it’s no where near the same as bb! But anyway, my little mans almost 12 weeks old. We’ve been co-sleeping. I initially didn’t want to when he was born, but look at us now 🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, on with my question lol how do I train him to sleep on his own at night? I finally broke down and bought a play pen because I miss sleeping alone! I started with naps and he took to that easily, but once bed time rolls around it’s a fight! I’ll get him down just for him to wake and hour later and I can not handle it at night. so I just give in & bring him back into bed with me 😩 HELP.
I just have the bassinet literally right next to my bed so he can hear and smell us both. And I just pat him or stroke in between his eyes on the bridge of his nose and shhhhhh till he crashes out.
He’s a 18 pound monster and has full head control already lol maybe I’ll try a pillow under the play pen mattress? If that’s safe?
When he started moving his head more I used a rock n play put a pillow under so his angle wasn’t so depressed. And if I need to I can give the bottom a little pat and it jiggles him a little as if I’m holding him in my arms and i pat his butt.
If you wanna keep using the pack n play swaddle him or buy him a sleep sack
I just placed a shirt that smelled like me under my little one until he got so use to his bed that I didnt need to
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...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
So bf every night pushes me away to cuddle he says cuz bed uncomfortable and i kept getting pushed away so i slept at the bottom of bed or put a pillow in between us and gets mad he says not like im doing this on purpose why it’s only it’s ok when it’s convenient for him to cuddle when he wants to cuddle but not me ? Why can’t I get comfortable with trying to find ways to sleep by cuddling a pillow or sleep upside down I point things out and turn it around it’s my fault.
Okay mommas, this is our second night home and little Ryder refuses to sleep in his bassinet. I’ve tried swaddling, feeding him before bed so he isn’t hungry, tried 3 different pacifiers, laid him down awake and asleep. Any ideas?? I just don’t know how else to get him to sleep in his bassinet and not in my arms at night.
** I had no problem with my other two boys laying in their beds but Ryder refuses to leave me.**
Definitely do.. it helped me. We co slept for the first week or so and it was a nightmare getting him to sleep alone, but that did the trick. I think it made him feel like he was still in bed with us
