I always said I would never co-sleep because I like my space in bed. Nyla has always loved her crib and never had any issues. The last week Nyla has been more clingy with me and will not sleep in her crib at night. I give up. You win Nyla Marie. I am losing my sanity and sleep trying to repeatedly put her back in the crib each time. I just spent the last 45 minutes going back and forth from the crib. I gave up and put her in the bed next to me and she falls immediately to sleep. If anyone has any tips, tricks, coffee recipes, alcohol recipes let me know.
Ok vent over! But for real send me any tips, tricks or recipes

Ugh. Going through the same thing. I’m so scared to co sleep and SIDS so I stay up alll night and I’m exhausted

Same. My girl is literally sleeping on me as I type this cuz shes been resisting her bassinet. Just make sure youre cosleeping as safely as possible! Theres an increased suffocation risk if you dont do it safely, so make sure to try your best to not fall asleep accidentally. Hopefully our baby girls get through this phase quickly!

oh girl i have no advice because i gave up on the bedside sleeper/crib life in the first month with both my babies 😂🥲😩. Thankfully we have a King size bed. But good news is since u were able to get her to sleep in her crib before she probably will go back to it eventually. May be going through a growth spurt phase where she needs extra closeness to feel comforted! Keep doing what you’re doing with trying to settle her in the crib first until she gets comfortable there again

we haven’t had any issues cosleeping :) this isn’t the first time, both of us are very light sleepers. ❤️

she will take a nap on it idk what it is about night time 😂

thats great!! 💕 definitely no judgement cuz im in the same boat lol wishing you the best through this time!

Is she breast fed or formula fed? My daughter is formula fed and I noticed if I warm her bottle for her night time bottle she seems to sleep better at night.

formula, all her bottles are warmed 😬

when we go on vacations she refuses the pack and play 😂 she is boujee and requires top of the line mattresses

I say embrace bedsharing and follow the 7 rules 🤭

I’m so sorry you’re going crazy
:( just know that you are not alone. My little one is 15 weeks old and since week 3, he only contact naps and stay asleep at night when he’s on my chest 😳 I am terrified of SIDS and tried so many things before I gave in to chest sleeping. I was so sleep deprived for days. I don’t think people realise how destructive lack of sleep is.
Although, co-sleeping is not recommend, it is so much more important to learn how to co-sleep safely than to be stuck falling asleep in a random spot that’s unsafe for mom and baby. I am planning on sleep training once he’s 5-6 months old (as that’s when babies learn how to self soothe) most likely trying the Ferber method 🤞🏽
I recommend checking out cosleepy on Instagram. Great resource on co-sleeping as well as safesleep7.

My LO is 15 months old (since week 3 - he only contact naps during the day and stay asleep at night on me chest) I tried so many tricks that I can possibly find and try for days, from swaddling, rubbing his chest, putting him tired and still awake, rocking, swing, wait until he’s asleep and slowly putting him into the crib/bassinet feet butt and head etc. I was so sleep deprived & gave in to chest sleeping & do it safely. Now we both sleep longer.
I highly recommend checking out @ cosleepy on Instagram. Awesome resource on co-sleeping as well as safesleep7.
