@Rachel I am the same way, I have been trying to do the sneak move for a while now but it only lasts about 30 minutes before she realizes I’m not right there 😞 I just feel like I always wait for her to unlatch to fall asleep and she never does so I never sleep
@Karla I’ve tried putting a roll of a blanket there and he has a lounger but he figures it out when he starts to look for the nipple or snuggle
@Karla oh gosh I wish 😭
Check out takingcarababies and littlezsleep on Instagram. They also have YouTube's and podcasts :) there's a lot of awesome tips, tricks, and info.
I'm so sorry that I don't have any advice but I'm following because we're the same. My 5mos old girl is the exact same way. I'm so exhausted. 😩 I hope we both find answers or something changes soon! Best of luck, momma!
This is exactly what I'm going through! Literally every night I'm a pacifier for my baby boy.
@Kyla thank you I’ll definitely look Into both of them!!
@Karla idk about the other mamas but my daughter won’t take them anymore, I’ve tried 3 different kinds and she just chews on them like a toy 🤦🏼♀️
Also here for any tips, my boy will be 5 months soon and we’re still cosleeping and he still wakes throughout the night to feed/use me as a pacifier 😂 but want to start sleep training for naps and bedtime
My boy 5 months tomorrow and ive been dealing with exactly the same 😫
Just an idea watch for when baby moves from feeding mode to comfor sucking mode by watching their throat/swallow movement. When they stop, start a timer. If they comfort suck for say 30 minutes one day, reduce it by a couple of minutes each day by latching them off. Each day they’ll get lesser time on the boob. When my LO was smaller - I would consider latching her off when she moved to comfort sucking mode- but she would pull in JUST that exact moment and I would continue to keeep her on. A lactation consultant told me this is a trick babies play when they are done feeding and just want to stay on, and that we should just proceed to latch them off when they have stopped swallowing. They can get trained to know that they won’t be able to switch back and forth anytime they like. Hope this helps
What I did was I slowly start train her to not do that by know that she's full and I unlatch and lay there covering my self to where she couldn't get me, if she woke up I lay there comforting her, my lo never took a pacifier, within a week from the hospital she dropped it🤷🏼♀️
Following. The same thing for my 5 month old and it doesn't matter if she is sound asleep or drowsy. I put her down and she instantly wakes up and cries
I’m following you because I could have written this exact paragraph. I am you. When my son gets even slightly uncomfortable at night, that’s all he wants. He won’t fully wake up, but he will grunt and get increasingly upset and then wake up if I don’t comfort him with the boob. I have to lay him with me for naps and sneak out from under him. I don’t know what to do either.
