Very hyper and clingy baby

Part 1/2
Awww you got this boy mom! My son is the same way. I coop with them wanting to with me 24/7. I'll give my son random items in the kitchen which keep him busy while I'm cooking or he will roam the house by himself independent play I keep an eye out for him from a far. But its okay for your son try cry i had a hard time with this. As long as hes fed changed and feeling okay he really doesnt have to be held. So i do signlanguage with my son so he tells me when he wants something or i do sign language to him he understands
But with the hitting and hair pulling I always show him nice ways to touch stuff if you show positive reactions to bad behavior they will keep doing it. I learned that cause I accidentally taught my baby how to bite. Now.i say no biting in construct matter. So they know the difference or I pretend like it hurt me so they know what is sad and mean. But for me I tried to sleep train with My baby in the same room since 8 to 9 months.

Part 2/2
It never really worked after 7 months he woke up 3 to 4 times a night took a toll. Giving him his own room was scary but it benefit his and our family sleep tremendously. I never wanted to do cry it out method but was my last resort. It works mostly all the time. But randomly I'll do night feeds but it's not as often he usually sleeps through the night. He's in bed my 8:30 and wakes up at 7-8am!

Hahah on the bath I gave up on that. My son just loves to stand so i gave him wall toys so kinda keeps him busy will I bathed him so he's not tryna grab everything insite.

Thus sounds EXACTLY like my daughter. Like every single thing. 😫 I'm not sure how to help but I'll add you to my prayers right next to praying for myself

O my god. My daughter is 10 months and exctly do the same thing. 🥲 I think it’s a phase then. They will slowly learn

maybe try cutting out any and all sugar in his diet / snacks drinks and also no screen time , maybe he’s being overly stimulated throughout the day?? just some recommendations to make him more burn energy

Like Allison said, I also sleep trained my baby boy at 8 to 9 months. I couldn’t take it anymore with the frequent waking at night. Now he sleeps through the night in his room and he’s less irritable during the day. During his teething days he’s extra fussy and wants to be held a lot. I pick him up and put him down after a little while. Bath time isn’t as calming for him anymore but because of the sleep training he’s asleep by 8 every single night. And I know this won’t solve everything but for me it just helped me feel like I have a time frame for when I’ll get to have me time. Sleep training my baby has been a blessing for my mental health.

My child is HYPER and fighting her sleep lol. This is not her normal. She is a new baby. Started 3 weeks ago. Praying this regression will pass soon but also taking in the laughs and frustration bc she’s about to be one and I know I will miss it

Same

how did you train him?

I did the cry it out. First night he cried for 20 minutes and it got less and less as the days went by. On the 6th day I put him down sleepy and he didn’t cry, just put himself to sleep. Yes it was heart breaking but the lack of sleep was really messing with my mental health 😞 the Ferber method is kinder to moms but I was so frustrated I didn’t have the patience to do the Ferber.

thanks for sharing your experience. We tried all methods also and it is very frustrating. The cry it out we tried just for two nights. She was suffering a lot.. so we kind gave up 🤪 now we are co sleeping
