I have established a bad habit! My son used to need to feed around 4 AM. He still wakes up around this time, and out of exhaustion, I bring him into bed with me and let him nurse/comfort suck, on and off until he fully wakes up around 7 am (but there are many mini wake ups in that period.) I’m so tired, and neither of us get quality sleep, but I’m not sure how to change this. Any recommendations? i can’t do cry it out.

I’m kind of in the same boat. Bad cycle and too damn tired to do sleep training. I hope and pray every night will be the night she starts sleeping through the night 😴😵💫 I’m delirious.

I am in the same boat 🚢
I pronounced myself the zombie 🧟♀️ mama or a Mombie
The only advise is I can give is to keep baby in your bed and get a big cup of coffee in da morning 🌄

My baby does similar! Wake at 3:30 to feed them up 6:30.
If baby has their own room, I’d go in to feed them on the ground side lying, then they’re tired enough to want to go back to sleep so I put back in crib. My baby doesn’t really cry til she wakes at 6:30, but I notice if I put her in my bed with me after that 3:30 feed she constantly wakes.
She might wake and whine for like 1-2 minutes but not hard cry.
Or I used to just leave her on the ground sleeping, on a soft rug or large quilt. If she was sensitive to being put back in crib.

I leave her if it’s just a whine not a cry

Same boat here! I’m bringing him to my bed. I know this is temporary and if he needs me to feel safe I will be there
