Baby Sleep

Hey all! I'm creating this group because I'm seeing a lot of posts looking for sleep training advice. I'm just starting to actually train my youngest to sleep, so I'll post a day by day journey with my thoughts and experiences. Other mommas feel free to do the same, offer advice to help others, and perhaps we can can get these babies to sleep together!!

Baby sleep

11mo sleeps like a newborn!

My almost 11 month old daughter wakes up constantly at night. She's up every 2-4 hours, but 4 hour stretches are rare. She's been doing this since about 6 months old. I am exhausted and am going back to work soon. I'm desperate for more sleep!

She wants to nurse every time she's up, and because she's small, our Dr said to nurse any time she wants to. I can tell the difference. Sometimes she wakes up and cuddles for a few minutes then I put her back down and she sleeps, but other times I pick her up and she starts rooting or sucking on whatever exposed skin she can find.

Our Dr recommended we give her a bit of formula at bedtime to keep her full longer, but my daughter has a dairy allergy and with the shortage we can't get the formula she needs.

Any ideas??

2yo taking forever to get to sleep

My son has always been a great sleeper but recently he's been taking ages to get to sleep at night time and that's been making him overtired and waking early in the morning. He'll kind of hang around and sometimes he'll stand up and call for us and we're going in and I don't know if that's the problem. He's also still got 1hr20min nap in the middle of the day which most of the time he goes down really well for but sometimes he's gettig up wanting cuddles. Does anyone have any advice on how to get him to just go to sleep? He's not super distressed when he calls for us or anything but I'm worried he would be if we didn't go in to him

Sleep help

My baby is 5 months old. Almost 6 months. I’ve recently started sleep training her. She goes down great around 7:30-7:45 p.m. I feed her at 7 pm. With our nightly bath and lotion rub down. She’s swaddled and I have a noise machine. Our little routine seems to work. BUT Two hours after she goes down she wakes up crying because she’s hungry. And I give her a bottle while she’s in bed. Propped up with a blanket. And from then on it’s like every two hours sometimes less she wakes up screaming and I can’t console her until I give her another bottle.

So, is she actually hungry or is the bottle a clutch. What can I do to stop the waking so often. I’m so sleep deprived. And I live in an apartment so I know the crying/screaming has to be a lot for my neighbors.

I’m starting to get a little desperate for help. I woke up today to her screaming and I just wanted to cry lol. I know. I’m so dramatic. But, I’m just so tired. 🥲 Any advice would be much appreciated.

I should mention my baby has bad eczema and is constantly itchy. I know some days she’s just uncomfortable.

Baby sleep

Feeling so terrible but have no other options It feels like

My daughter is almost 9 months old We moved her into her own crib in her room a week ago yesterday because she began to pull to stand in her bassinet and we didn’t want to cosleep anymore for her safety. So it has been a rough transition however the past three nights she has such an incredibly hard time with transfers she prior even in the beginning of the crib transfer she would nurse and I would transfer her asleep and she would be good but now it’s nurse then transfer them wake up and scream (repeat like 3 times or so) then finally does but wakes up like an hour later I’m beyond exhausted. My son is with my MiL the next couple nights and I was going to continue on how I was but after an hour of her nursing and being asleep to transfer and immediately waking once transferred I’m doing the Ferber method of sleep training with interval checks. I hate hearing her cry but I literally cannot keep going like this for bedtime I’m so tired I know she’s tired and I can feel myself getting frustrated. I don’t know what else to do I am just sitting and crying as she is in her bed and screaming I just can’t deal with this

Baby sleep

10 month old wakes every night 😫

My 10 month old used to be a dream sleeper and slept 7-7 since we started weaning/teething his sleeping has just deteriorated. He’s waking every night and it’s destroying me. I’m trying to persevere with routine, making sure he has 2 naps a day - I walk the streets everyday to make sure he’s had fresh air and to sleep. I’m starting to find this so hard. Anyone else experienced anything similar?
