This 6-month sleep regression is lasting forever! Any tips or tricks? He is waking up to nurse as much as he did as a newborn and he is 7 months old 😩 I have been feeding him his dinner later thinking maybe the full belly would help him sleep longer but no go.
@aengs2, I guess every dr is different. Mine didn’t say to stop. I’m not sure how that would go, because he typically doesn’t stop crying until I’m holding him and sometimes won’t stop crying until he is latched.
@meganph, my goal was 1 year and I was hoping to go as long as we could after that but I found that because I was nursing him when he’d wake up at night he became reliant on it. Then nursing was the thing that was actually keeping him up. If I could do it over, I wouldn’t have popped the boob into his mouth without trying other things. He ended up in our bed and with my boob in his mouth all night long. It was so hard on me emotionally, physically and mentally. Weening was hard for a few days but after about a week he’s been back to sleeping through the night.
My son's doctor told us not to do middle of the night feedings after 6 months of age. Apparently they don't need it anymore and it's more for comfort. She said don't pick the baby up, just comfort them while they're laying down and give them a stuffed animal of some sort. It worked for us! There are articles about it online too.
Last night was terrible for us also . Same thing up nursing a whole lot .nit felt just as bad as the new born days of not worse bc it was harder
To get her back to bed . I totally feel with u
@mswedes, 😩 I’m worried how weening him will go if he can’t sleep through night by the time we do it. My plan is around 1 year
@tyrellp, he already eats dinner like 30 minutes before bed. I mix cereal, breast milk and veggies.
My son went through this. It was awful. He didn’t start sleeping through the night completely again until he was 14 months and I stopped nursing him. Hoping your baby doesn’t give you as much trouble as mine did.
Feed him a bed time snack before he goes down for the night? Maybe rice cereal
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...
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.
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

@mswedes, I have refrained from putting him in the bed with us. But, like you, I usually just pop the boob in his mouth when he cries at night. Sometimes he will let me just hand him his binky, other times he will keep crying until I take him out
