Anyone else’s good sleeper not a good sleeper anymore?

🙋🏻‍♀️🥲 she won't go back to sleep unless I feed and change her

any idea what it is? Regressjon? Teething? I don’t even know. I saw a post the other day where several moms said their babies are sleeping all night at this age. 😭

Started around 5 months and won’t sleep without being on the boob now, used to get up same times every night before 12 and 4 and now no one sleeps 🥲

My baby used to wake up once at 3:30 am and then go right back to sleep, now she wakes up 3 times lol I think its a growth spurt

Only 1 wake up still isn’t too bad for being that little. Still growing so fast and night time feeds are pretty normal up until a year. Our little guy is up 6-8x a night so I envy your situation lol. We haven’t slept longer than 2 hours in months

I understand 😭

how long does it last 🤣

Wow. But is that normal? I’ve read several sources that said babies don’t need night feeds past six months?

I guess I’m confused because I’ve read several sources that said after six months they no longer need night feeds.

ill let you know when its over 😂

Although I hear 2-4 weeks

I've been told they don't need night feeds once solids are well established

I really don’t think there is “normal” when it comes to babies lol. I think there is such a wide range for what is acceptable. Some people really want to kill any night feeds early. There is also a ton of evidence stating that night wakings and feedings are baby’s natural way of preventing SIDS. At the end of the day I wouldn’t compare to anyone else’s baby. Your normal might look a lot different than theirs. Finding what works for your family is what’s most important.

Yes, I agree.. my only true comparison is how my little one used to sleep and from the get go she has always been a great sleeper. She had one bad week during four months but other than that has always slept through night and that was our normal which I’m trying to get back to.

ideal for you, maybe so and that’s OK, but not ideal for our family. Our little one used to sleep the entire night and that’s the normal we are trying to return to.

This could very well be your new normal and that’s ok too. Babies change so much so fast and the first year is rough, this is temporary though. Our little dude was a great sleeper up until 3-4ish months and then we hit a regression and are slowly trying to get back to less wake-ups. But it is brutal so I get the frustration of going from good sleep to meh sleep. You could look into sleep training, I don’t really want to do any cry it out so I decided against it. But do some research and see what ultimately will work for you and your little one.

lol solidarity mama. One day we will get some 💤 again😂

perhaps it is, but that’s what this post is about! Maybe other moms have gone through the same thing and have come out on the other side and have some good input on what worked for them. If there’s anything that I can do or can change to help my girl sleep better then I will do that, if this is a new normal, then that’s OK too but until then I will try what I can other than sleep training because our family is not for it.

Same here! Growth spurt I think

Here’s a list of everything we’ve tried so far (maybe you’ll have better luck than we’ve had)
-different sleep sacks
-increasing day time feedings
-tracking day and night time patterns with the huckleberry app
-dream feeding before we go to bed
-moving up bedtime
-moving back bedtime
I THINK that’s everything lol. Best of luck to you and yours!

I think we just got though this! My daughter has always been an amazing sleeper, like 11-12 hr nights in her crib with no wake-ups. Then suddenly for about 3.5 weeks, she wouldn’t sleep at ALL unless she was being held or in bed with us. Even then, we’d do 1-2 feeds more than her usual because she would wake up and either be wide awake or just scream until she got a bottle. She was always waking up early to start her day too. I thought it was because she had RSV and was just uncomfy, but it continued past her getting better so then I assumed sleep regression.

The last 2 nights she has been back in her crib with no wakeups 🙌🙌 Literally happened overnight - 1 night she wouldn’t sleep and the next night she did. Now I can lay her down awake for nighttime sleep or naps and she falls asleep on her own within 10 minutes. I could never do this before, she always had to be rocked before the crib transfer. I feel like she sleep trained herself 😂

I appreciate that thank you!

All that to say, there is an end in sight, and your little one may come out the other side and be an even better sleeper! 🤞🤗

Exactly!! I think at the end of the day that’s what we all want, may take each of us a little longer to get there or the road may be a little easier for others but I think that’s all of our end goal.

Good luck with your journey! Hopefully it’s just the sleep regression and you can be back to your normal within the 3-4 wks 😊

Listen. My post didn’t ask for advice on a perspective shift or how to be grateful. My post was inquiring about other moms who’s baby was going through a similar situation as mine. I’m sorry that your child sleeps worse than mine but that doesn’t mean I’m ungrateful or need a perspective shift. I am very grateful for what I have, but wanting better doesn’t make you ungrateful. 😀

I need a perspective shift? Look in the mirror. You commented on my post envying my child’s current sleep situation and then want to stand on your soapbox about gratefulness because I want improvement. Wanting improvement to what I currently have isn’t a lack of gratefulness, but on your part, maybe you should worry about your own child instead of worrying about strangers being grateful. Sorry you are unhappy with your childs sleep situation!

Let the baby eat air as it cries itself back to sleep it bothers you that much that you need to go off on someone for gently offering a different perspective on the situation. That should fix it in no time!

That’s the issue right there, why do you feel the need to show me that others would be happy to be in my situation? You don’t know me, or my child and you don’t know what my life is day to day nor do I know you or yours. Perhaps you and your child had an easier time in a different department other than sleep, I wouldn’t comment on a post of yours telling you to be grateful if I was struggling in said department especially if you were just seeking out advice, that’s not my job and it is not my place and I for one would never think you are ungrateful for wanting improvements in your current situation as that’s what we all as mother should want.

Once again, if I was asking for a perspective shift, I would have gladly accepted it but saying let a child eat air shows how disgusting of a person you are.

If anyone needs to tell someone else to be grateful for having a better situation than them, then you need to work on your own self improvement as the other person is not the problem!

I think you need to spend some more time on self improvement rather than going around on post telling people to be grateful for having situations better than yours. Your insecurities are showing.

😂 you’re the barbaric one thinking there’s a problem when a BABY wakes up and is only settled by eating then getting pissed at everyone for NICELY responding to your post.

No one was coming @ you, no one was disrespecting you. You don’t need to get pissy with people like that just because you don’t like what they say.

I think you need glasses, my friend. Everyone in the post? Actually, no. I’ve only had a dispute with one person. My post didn’t say this was a problem, it was asking for advice, and what to do and if anyone else was in the similar situation. Get a clue. You need some serious help for telling a mother to tell her baby to eat air for wanting better. You’re disgusting.

if someone feels the need to tell me I need a perspective shift then I myself have the place to say that it might be them in fact who needs a perspective shift. This was my post that was commented on and I am allowed to defend myself as she’s allowed to comment whatever she wants. Just because she offered an opinion doesn’t mean I need to agree with it and I don’t!

Maybe her appetite has grown and needs more calories during the day than she’s been getting? Also, it’s completely normal for babies this age to still need 1-2 night feeds so if she can’t drink more during the day then night feeds are best for her for now. Mine still does and I’m ok with it.

Have fun! 🥰
