So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours. What would you guys do?
omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging
Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
So we got in super late last night. Had to carry my daughter to bed. She had the nerve to try and wake me up at 7:30am saying she wanted breakfast. Smh (She wanted me to fix her a spread)🙄 I told her to choose some cereal. I'll fix her a bowl. Of course there wasn't any cereal that she wanted today 😴 I told her spoiled ass to figure it out and I went back to sleep 😂🤣 She ate an eggo.
I love how I repeatedly told my father in law not to let my daughter root through the toy box because she doesn’t want anything out of it anyway and he keeps picking her up and taking her to the toy box no matter how many times I tell her no and tell him she doesn’t even want anything out of there anyway. At first I told him “only let her get one toy” so she picks one up and he is still holding her over the toy box then tries to put her over the baby gate so she can grab more. I’m sorry but you aren’t the one that has to pick up all these toys. You aren’t the one who has to put them back. He never picks up toys. Everyone wants to get the toys out for her out no one ever wants to help me pick them back up. The fact that I said not to let her get anything out of the box more than 5 times really pisses me off. You may be her grandparent but you aren’t her parent. So now I have mass toys to pic up on top of the toys she already had out from this morning

Children will sleep through when ready :) Maya didnt until 2.5yo :) and still the odd night wakes up :)
Around this age they will be getting seperation anxiety. When she does wake up...keep it low stimulus and dont talk much and dont have the lights on :)
Routine is key :) stick to the same day/night routine :) she will eventually understand she needs to be sleeping :)
With Maya i stayed with her until she went to sleep...next night i stayed a bit less and went out for a bit... until i was gone 10 mins...
3rd night did the routine...said good night and left her... she went to sleep within 10-15 mins xx

Theo is 14 months next week and he's still up anywhere between 2 and 7 times a night. Many kids don't sleep through until we'll past two:)
At 9 months she's also beginning to experience separation anxiety due to her last mental leap.
If this waking is a new thing then bare in mind that there is a 8-10 month regression and it's so mu h worse than the 4 month one!
We tried cry it out with Theo, I couldn't. So we've put a bed time routine in place and hrs in bed at 7:30 and sleeps until 1am (unless we are up 7 times a night), has a feed, and then goes back to sleep. Having a nighttime routine has helped a lot with the sleep though x

We did cry training for 2/3 mins at a time. Left her to cry for 2mins then go in and calm her down and soothe her then repeat until she eventually fell asleep! It’s not nice listening to them cry but it usually only took a few times and she’d go to sleep xx
