So at my wits end with a child and no sleep. Naps, no naps, nothing works. Currently he doesn't nap. Then he's up for a good 10 plus hours, tonight he slept for four hours then awake again. And it's not just a bad dream then back to bed etc. Like he's ready to wake up. If wakes up at 12 he won't sleep again until at least 4am. Doesn't matter if he's in bed, if the lights are off, if I lay with him. He's got energy and ready to seize the day. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't really see how a doctor could help. He has routine, he has quiet time to transition after high energy activity, before bed. He eats good meals, diaper is fine.
Maybe because he knows you'll get in bed or stay up because you do as well. You'll have just ss many sleepless nights if you spend a week or 2 redirecting to bed without saying a word or eye contact.
Also a doctor could assess and prescribe a low dose melatonin to help get him in a routine then stop using as using to much can cause the body to stop creating it naturally.
I swear I don't have a normal husband. This pregnancy makes me wake up so aroused. I try to get him involved and he's like go shower.. wtfh. I've only been in the bed 😤. I need someone that is always ready to do SOMETHING ughhh. Freaking boring man.
Omg I feel like I jinxed myself. Wolf has always been a great sleeper. He didn't really nap during the day, but has always slept through the night , waking up around 6 am to eat and going back to bed for another few hours. This past week he has been waking up 4+ times a night... wtf kid!??!!!! He just turned 4 months. He wakes up every hour. I feed him and move him back to his crib. Then he wakes up again... he's also been napping a lot in the day... he was never a big napper before... Im so fru...
Hey! So before I freak out and call his pediatrician, I'm going to take this to you guys first bc I know I'm overreacting.
So Brian isn't sleeping well, and he's super fussy. He's been up every hour since last night, and when he is in his bed he fusses and doesn't sleep well before waking up crying. He will drink half his normal bottle, then fall asleep in my arms. Then as soon as I put him in his bed he can't get comfortable and sleep again. Until last night he was sleeping 3-5 hours at a tim...

My SO has been rude a lot ever since I've gotten pregnant...he said he doesn't care about my pregnancy, he doesn't even take one day off from work just ONE to come to at least one ultra sound appointment. I mean he's always making sure I'm fed, he lets use the heating pad, and even apologized to saying he doesn't care. He can mess with me all day but when I want to join and play around he gives me an attitude. He just makes me feel like s*** at times. He's a great fiancé don't get me wro...

He's here 😍 he hasn't gotten cleaned up or anything, they don't do it til he is 12 hours old & I'm still not able to move around but he's perfect and I couldn't wait to share
@lii94 There is no redirecting though if I don't get him up he'll cry in bed for four hours straight every night and bang his head on the bed boards and hurt himself because he rocks so much to soothe himself. And then he also wakes my parents up cause you can hear him cry anywhere in the house. So what other choice do I have?
He's like awake, awake. Like not tired. He will be awake for at least four hours straight, he literally cannot fall asleep in his crib again. His body thinks it's the morning, he asks to go see grandparents and asks for breakfast after four hours of sleep. He doesn't nap during the day. So by eight pm he falls asleep no problem. Just can't sleep through the night for whatever reason.
I have also tried a mid day nap. That schedule didn't work either. Then he's just awake until like midnight. Honestly nothing is helping. :/
