Sleep Training, Night 1:
Last night was a nightmare, my baby will be 8 months in abt a week and up until last night she has been sleeping in my bed with a boob in her mouth. Eventually she started nursing to sleep only then letting go but still sleeping in my bed. Last night I started sleep training and attempted to let her fall asleep on her own. She cried on and off for 15 mins on the timer then I went in to comfort her & she fell asleep on me so I put her back down and kept my hand on her and rubbing her belly and when she seemed to have fallen asleep I walked away. Aafter abt 5 mins she started crying again, I let her cry for maybe 3 mins before going back in and did the same thing. When she cried again it lasted about 5 mins then she fell dead asleep. She slept thru the night until about 5 am, I nursed her back to sleep & back in her crib and she slept peacefully until about 15 minutes ago. Hopefully it’ll get easier soon🤞🏼🙏🏼

Sleep training can be hard. Definitely go in to comfort her, but don’t pick her up. Start with going in after 3 minutes of crying, then wait 5, and then 10, etc. Just be consistent with whatever you do. It will get easier!
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. ?
Waking to feed?
My dd is a week old and I was told by her doctor to wake her every 2 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night to feed her. For the first 3 days I did that and when I would wake her fit a night feeding she was fussy and usually wouldn't go back to sleep and would want to nurse constantly until about 9 am. I tried not waking her last night and she slept beautifully! She woke up around 6 hours in and ate then slept another hour or so and ate again. Is it ok to let her sleep?
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.
Holy hell!!!! So I walk into my sister's and the babysitter was SLEEPING!!!! She got here at 830 and I got here at 10, I have no idea how long she was sleeping but OMG!!! I waited for her to wake up. Meanwhile, my 4 kids are not the quietest bunch and when she did I told her she could go home. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I am shaking. The baby screamed bloody murder when she saw me and would not let me put her down until she left. 😭
Mommies I need advice....
So last night was night 15 of me sleep training my daughter from sleeping with me to now sleeping in her new crib. It has been EXHAUSTING! When she slept with me she would sleep straight throughout the night. Now she wakes up at the least, 5 times throughout the night. She has waken up at most 8/9 times at night. There have been times where I’m patting her for an 1 hour-2hours straight to get her back to sleep when she has waken up at one of those times🥵. So I have fel...
I had to do this with my daughter last night because she has a nasty cold & isn’t sleeping well & was SOOO exhausted last night but was absolutely refusing to go to sleep. It got to the point she was crying even with me holding her so I had to just walk away & let her go for a minute to cry & I was about in tears because I HATE doing that. But it wasn’t even 30 seconds later she was OUT lol.
