Fajr and baby wake ups at night

Any other mamas struggling really hard to get for fajr on time because you still nurse at night? My son still wakes up a several times at night. The main problem is he wakes up about an hour to an hour and half before fajr. The night before I set three alarms! When he woke up at his time to wake up. I nursed him I put him in his bed and I went to get ready to pray early so I don’t miss the salah. He wakes up the moment I go to the bathroom 🤦‍♀️ I nurse him again and he is nursing while my three alarms go off. I’m waiting for him to sleep again so I can get up to pray. He takes a long time the three alarms go off. I end up sleeping while nursing him. Didn’t wake up until 7:30. 🥺 anyone else struggling?! My husband doesn’t understand how the baby can wake me up but my alarm can’t. I don’t think that’s what’s happening. Ever since I had my son I’m used to sleeping in 2 to 3 hour shifts. He could be sleeping longer but I wake up every 2 to 3 hours regardless because I’m used to it. So when he wakes up an hour before it’s either I stay awake which is sooooo hard for me. Or I risk missing salah if I go back to sleep for less than an hour.

I remember having the same problem when I was nursing may Allah make it easy for you sis ❤️

@Sadia I feel bad missing salah but I honestly tell myself I’m human. 🥺 my husband gets upset with me when his daughter prays fajr late too. I’m honestly exhausted I don’t think it’s fair that I wake up several times a night for the baby and then I’m expected to stay awake to pray fajr and make sure she prays fajr too. Salah isn’t obligated on her yet. It will be soon. I understand good habits early are important but ugh. Ameen ya rab. Thank you for your dua.

@reema sis it’s really hard for us women juggle with older kids and little ones too .. maybe your husband can offer to wake up with your daughter .. this way you’ll get a helping hand x
