Hello mamas! My son is 4 weeks tomorrow, but he does not really sleep at night. He sleeps during the day, then is up all night... unless I hold him in my arms. Does anyone have any tips? #desperatemama
When I try to keep him up during the day, he is fussy all day and all night.
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?
My boyfriend hasn’t changed ONE diaper ever and my son is 9 months old. He hasn’t fed him in about 5 months, he doesn’t bath him and hes never been left alone with him and he doesn’t even wake up during the night to help with him. He MAYBE washes the bottles at night if it’s a good day and I’m confused as to how bc I’m a woman IM supposed to do all that by myself?? lmfao ya no.
How do I get my newborn to sleep in his bed he wants to sleep on me all night and I am afraid to let him I did it last night and finally for a little sleep but every time I place him down he cries until I pick him up!!!
SLEEP Every time someone posts about their 6 week old sleeping through the night, I want to punch a wall. My 14 month old has slept through the night probably 5 times in his life. I'm fcking tired. He used to get up only once. Now he's up 4 - 5x a night. Honestly, idk if I want any more children. All I can think about is going years and years never sleeping. I'm losing my faking mind. It's honestly starting to make me angry every time I have to get up. (Obviously not enough to hurt him). my husband wonders why I never want sex. I use all my energy just trying to get trough the day to have another s*** tty night. I still bf him at night.
My son is one year old and i want him to go back and get use to sleeping in the crib I put him in the crib and all he does is cry and I spoke to his doctor and his doctor said let him cry like in 2 or 3 days he should get use to sleeping on his own has anyone try it ?

During the day open windows to let natural light in, have the tv louder, clean/vacuum, Tummy time, play with rattles with baby. Then when your getting close to bed do bath time, lotion, cuddles and turn the noise level down, (not completely cuz you don’t want your baby to get used to just the quite and not be able to sleep if he hears noise). At least that’s what worked for all my kids.

I had the same problem with my baby boy when they are still little/ newborns they just sleep usually whenever they want! Now that he’s older It’s got better but at that age he was the same way. Only thing I can think of is keeping lights on in the morning and having a lot of noise then at night no sounds and pitch dark at certain time.

@mama-ev he is now 1 and it just started getting better for me I make sure I get all his energy out and then by like 9pm I give him a bath a warm cup of milk and I turn the lights off and we lay down and he’ll end up sleeping when he was a newborn/ younger I couldn’t really get him to sleep on a schedule they kind of sleep when they are ready but does get easier as they get grow. 🙂

If you’re not already try to really distinguish between day and night. During the day - lights on, daytime noises, we even had our guy sleep in the living room for naps.
During the night - all lights off, white noise, no talking to or playing with baby, and I’ve heard avoiding eye contact during night feedings helps but idk how true that is.
I personally started a bedtime routine on the first night because I thought it would help relax him and I think it helped tremendously!

Thank you! That’s what I’ve tried, but he doesn’t seem to recognize the difference between night and day regardless of the routine I try to impose.
