Y’all talk to me about sleep training an 8 month old breastfed baby. I’ve already tried all I know to do. The most recent change was i replaced bedtime nursing session with a big ol fat formula bottle with rice cereal in it hoping that would be the fix-all that I’ve been putting off bc I love our bedtime feeding. But...it hasn’t helped. My first baby was a dream to sleep train. This second baby is draining me of all my sanity I suspect due to LACK OF SLEEP. I’ve tried almost everything but I’m open to any and all suggestions. He slept better as a newborn. 🙄 It has been 4-5 months since I’ve gotten any decent sleep & I’m deteriorating over here. Therefore any comments along the lines of “just enjoy it, it doesn’t last long” will be severely eye-rolled. I love my baby wholeheartedly but I’d prefer to enjoy his babyhood during the daytime when we’re all SUPPOSED to be awake so that I can actually sleep at night and not lose my ever-loving mind. 🙃🙃

So far, I’ve tried CIO, cosleeping, bedsharing, bedtime routine, bedtime routine changes, music, white noise, lullabies, bedtime story, massage (which he LOATHES ENTIRELY), rocking, bouncing, ETC ETC ETC...literally all he wants is me to lay there with my boob hanging out so he can feast ALL NIGHT. And I’m sorry but I’m totalllllllly done with that. I always start him out in his crib every single night but sometimes I don’t even make it back to my room from laying him down before he’s crying again. It just seems like 8 months in, we should be past all this. K, Thanksssss
