The Sleep Deprived 🇺🇸

My child gets really upset when I leave the room at bedtime. What has helped other moms manage separation anxiety and get their kids to sleep on their own?

I haven’t had a full night sleep in 8 months. It’s a type of exhaustion I didn’t even know existed. I’ve tried so many things and it doesn’t help. She only sleeps 3hr stretches max. Any advice?!

My baby is a week old and I still cannot figure out how to get him to sleep well at night. So far he only sleeps if he’s on someone, my mom takes him after a few hours and is able to recline back with him on her chest and he falls asleep just fine. My bed won’t allow for that much space to safely recline, so I lay him next to me and he gets very restless and wakes himself up. He refuses to sleep in the bassinet. I’m running on 2-4 hrs per 24 hrs, and only because my mom takes him. I’ve tried rocking him to sleep after a feed, but it takes 20 mins for him to lay down soundly, then by the time I start to fall asleep he gets up again. I feel like an absolute zombie, I’ve already dropped dishes and cried multiple times because I’m so sleep deprived. I need some advice.

ISO of a mommy bestie! I would love to have more friends and be able to bullshit and talk about anything 😊💕

Alright I need advice! I haven’t gotten a full night of sleep since my baby boy was born in May. He’s only 4 months old, so I know I shouldn’t expect him to sleep through the night..but I’m just so tired. Lately every time he’s been waking up in the night I just nurse him back to sleep, but then I always have to hold him for a minimum of 20 min after a feed before putting him back in his crib. When he wakes up for the last time closest to when we’re up for the morning, I’ve just been having him sleep next to me, he sleeps longer and I count on it to help get more sleep. But online I just hear so many different opinions about baby sleep and “sleep training” and idk what to do! I don’t want to create bad habits or sleep associations but there’s no way I’m going to do cry it out. Does anyone have any tips?? I’m a first time mom and have no idea how to help little guy learn to sleep longer.
