I need some sleep

Oh man did you just speak to my soul today. Evie was in bed just before 8, woke up 945, 1230, 2 ish, 430, and I think there was another one before 430 but I can’t remember. I WFH so I’m currently low key dead. I suspect it’s a tooth cutting through again or she had atrocious naps with her Grandy yesterday and was wrecked.

I feel you on this. I work from home and just last night my girl was asleep by 830pm and woke up at 230a and 530 then back up for the day by 8 while I was awake at 715am to start work.

*baby has day 2 of this week with her grandmother and we had lovely purple eyes. I better make sure she has a nice nap after I get off to catch up and be agreeable tonight

We used Moms on Call soothing rounds for our little babe. She knows how to put herself to sleep and get herself back to sleep when she wakes. Yes, it involves a little crying but only 5 minutes of it. I knew I didn’t want a CIO method and this was an awesome method that truly helped our whole family.

Now, I can put her down at nap time and bedtime still awake and she can put herself to sleep and get herself back to sleep if she wakes. She sleeps 7:30-7 (with a dream feed at 10:30 right before I go to bed).

It literally took 2 nights until it started working. She’s almost 7 months and she has been sleep all night since 4.

I can’t tell people enough how much of a fan I am of moms on call and their schedules and soothing rounds. Here’s a little post someone wrote about it…

Hi there! Mom's on call sounds super similar to what we just did. We did The Happy Sleeper book- sleep wave method. It also involves a little crying but just 5 minutes before you go and check in - i couldn't do CIO either and this was magic for us. Worked after the first night!
