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?
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. Every time I lay the baby down he wakes up after like 10 minutes. 😴
Lately my son has been HORRIBLE at nap time . He’s been on a set napping schedule since June . Lately it takes me over an hour to get him down. And that’s with 30+ mins of screaming literally blooding murder and me having to hold him. He’s tired when I start putting him down. But he’s like refusing . He just wants to play, watch his show , be w his dad etc . Any tips for this ? Anyone go through this ?
So my doctor says I have to start putting the baby in his crib at night and letting him cry it out when he wakes for a bottle. She says he should be sleeping 10-12 hours at a time by now (he only sleeps about 2-3 hours before he wakes wanting a bottle or pacifier). She swears if we do this it won't take more than 3 nights for him to adjust and start sleeping better. She says that he should only get 1-2 naps a day too and we should lay him down at night as soon as he starts showing signs of being sleepy like rubbing his eyes, not waiting until he's exhausted. - I just don't know if I can do it, letting him cry at night.. I just don't know. Has anyone else done this?
Sleep Training ! So I went ahead and hired the sleep consultant. I was at a loss with how poor Davis's sleep was, and because I was suffering from PPD, the sleep deprivation was making me not be able to cope with daily life. Davis had no idea how to put himself to sleep whatsoever.. I would nurse him to sleep and then rock him and then carefully put him down in his crib fast asleep. If he woke up when I put him down I would have to repeat the process.. Sometimes it took 2 hours to get him back to sleep. On top of that he is such a light sleeper so ANY tiny sound would wake him up and because the only way he knew how to sleep was to be nursed or rocked then that's what he would expect. We tried bed sharing and his sleep and mine was even worse.. I just didn't know what to do anymore. I went to a seminar on baby and toddler sleep and I decided to take the leap and the cost ($480) to hire the sleep consultant. The first night and day was so so hard.. He cried a lot and because it's not the CIO method, I was there beside him the whole time patting his back and rubbing his belly, giving him kisses and picking him up for some cuddles (which I think made it worse). After that first awful night and day.. He has already begun to sleep through the night and nap for 1.5 hours + during the day.. He actually has gone down for naps now without crying and falling asleep in under 10 minutes. He slept 11 hours the past two nights in a row.. I honestly can't believe the difference especially in him ! He has been so happy, calm and not fussy like he was before throughout the day. I'm still not sleeping as well because I'm constantly staring at the monitor but I'm hoping in time I'll feel more comfortable with him in his crib and on his tummy (I hate it so much).
Uhhhh·
Unfortunately both my kids stopped napping right around that time but they also slept 12+ hours at night.
So I'm going to be the odd ball here and say he doesn't HAVE to have a nap.

I am so thankful about my son being a great night time sleeper !! That definitely is most important to me because I want to sleep at night lol. He’s been napping again now with advice from some of the other moms. It wouldn’t be bad about naps if I had breaks but I don’t it’s me 24/7.
Uhhhh··
That's one of the great times having my kids spaced apart as much as I do. My 8 year old was such a huge help when her sister was little!

haha yes same here ! I was adamant about having my kids spaced out because I was like I refuse to get up with mom than one kid at night lol 😂 aww isn’t it amazing how much they help out !? My oldest is always wanting to help me and is really like a extra pair of hands for me.

No, IMO he still should nap. Maybe try without the sleep sack and lay him down before he’s all the way asleep. My LO went through a sleep regression around 18months that lasted a couple weeks, I would still keep her on her schedule and just let her lay in her bed even if she didn’t sleep, so she could rest a bit but she went back to her normal sleep schedule. We still do one nap mid morning for about an 1hr and one in the afternoon for 1-2hrs and she sleeps all night from 8pm-7am.

Ok I will keep doing his routine without the sleep sack. It’s been frustrating for me because nap time is the only time I get to do stuff and relax. Hopefully that helps. 2 weeks !? Oh no I hope this isn’t the case for us. He’s a great night sleeper but naps have been hard.
