Sleep regression mamas

After speaking to a few mums on here about our struggles of month 4, I thought it would be nice to have a specific place to share our experiences and offer support for others.

Baby sleep

18 month sleep regression

Ii need help, I don’t know how much longer I can do this. My daughter’s 17 months old and for the last month doesn’t want to sleep, she’s up for HOURS in the middle of the night crying and nothing soothes her (rocking, sitting beside her, patting her butt, nothing) when will it end and how do I get through it. I’m a SAHM to two kids (almost 3 year old boy). All day all she does is cry and barely eats. She goes to sleep at 7:30 and the latest she’ll sleep is 6 (being up for 2-4 hours) and naps from 12:30-2. But she wakes up SOBBING. She used to be sleep trained but recently is regressing. She would still always wake up 2 ish times a night but would fall asleep pretty fast. HELP PLEASE. Thank you

Baby sleep

Should I give into contact naps?

My baby is going through the 4 month regression now, he can sleep on me for naps and at night we co sleep. My priority right now is to prevent over tiredness hence I give into the contact naps.. my plan is also to sleep train when my baby is 7/8 months which I’m hoping will reduce the need for contact naps, is this a good idea or Should I keep persevering to put him down ? Any tips on how to get a baby to go down and stay asleep will be appreciated but please note my baby doesn’t take the dummy!

4 month sleep regression

My baby is 17 weeks and fights sleep so much! The nights aren’t so bad yet but the day naps are so short and i have to soothe him fo about 40 mins for him to actually sleep! We are following wake windows. Any ideas how to get him to sleep longer in the day?

Also, when is everyone’s last feed before bedtime? I find if I feed him right before bed he’s then awake for longer if I feed him at 6/7 he naps and wakes up 30 mins later 🤦🏻‍♀️

Partners helping

Do your partners help out during regressions. Am exhausted and LB has been waking multiple times a night for the last 3 weeks. My LG also now wakes up at 6am so am shattered. My partner works full time

Postpartum mental health

Advice please

I'm pregnant and I'm not sure how to go through the sleepless nights with a newborn. I have a toddler but during the first few months after birth I started to take depression anxiety medication but I realize now I might of had it during pregnancy but i struggled with the symptoms until after birth. Now with this pregnancy I don't want to go through it again. The er doctor gave me the pill because he thinks I need it again.
