Sleep!

Have you tried any sleep training?

Magnesium works on me, ha so i would assume if could help but not sure it helps through the whole night.

sleep training is the practice of teaching babes to fall asleep independently - therefore if they wake in the night, they go back to sleep on their own. Worked perfectly for both my kids - 3 year old still sleeps 11 hours at night and 1 year old sleep/naps like a dream.

We used the Ferber Method - there are many methods. But its that and really consistency with schedule (editing as they get older) and not feeding/rocking to sleep.

I’ve been trying sleep training it’s very hard for me ! He will fight and fight and only nap 20 mins which isn’t enough sleep then he’s moody I gave up and nursed him to sleep. He will be a year old and I thought it would be a good time to start.

its one of those things. The struggle in the moment seems so hard. But pushing through is soooo worth it - has to be really consistent. babe is happier when they are rested.

😢 my baby cries so hard when I walk out

yup. Its hard. It gets better

Let him cry. It sounds harsh but really I cant take care of my son exhausted. So. I put him in his crib safely and I go to sleep. Fast forward almost two weeks later. I just lay him down..he will whine a little bit and go to sleep on his own. some nights he doesnt whine he just lays there with his sound machine and goes to sleep. We share a room so he cries next to me but once im sleep i dont hear anything. some nights are hard. others arent. He knows I will sleep without him. I am no longer waiting and comforting anymore (unless absolutely necessary and I know he’s satisfied) Diaper,fed,burped ect… I do say time for bed. Lay down. Night night and he understands. He follows instructions sometimes. Other times I dont say anything as engaging him does make it worse. He is a breastfed baby on the boob and pacified through the breast for a year now. To give an idea of his attachment and connection to me.
