Sleep

We've been sleeping through the night since 3 months but it's possible we just have a good sleeper. We always did swaddle (now, sleep sack) and white noise, and it has gotten us through teething and all of the daycare plagues. If baby is congested, a humidifier helps so much (and time in a steamy bathroom).

You're not a bad Mom. Bad moms don't care and you do. It's so hard when they can't tell us what's wrong!

I totally feel you! I had no idea my baby was even teething I thought he was just being whiney for a long time and finally my husband said “maybe it’s teeth?” And I felt like such a moron for not realizing that’s what it was 😭

And my little guy still wakes up 1-3x overnight. Usually I can nurse him back to sleep but it’s still tough having to get up every time.

My daughter is waking up around 4-6 times a night right now. It’s developmentally normal for them to wake often when they’re going through so many milestones so quickly. I survive by cosleeping.

we cosleep also but recently he just moves around everywhere and wants to sleep like right on top of me

Do any of your babies wake up screaming? Last night it went on for 3 hours, I tried feeding, Motrin, snot sucker, rocking nothing seemed to work. I know he has struggles with constipation so I’m just now adding probiotics into his diet. Hoping that helps 😭😭😭

Not every night but pretty often I feel like 😭

My girl wakes up 3-5 times a night. Sometimes more or less, just depends on what she is going through. I did do sleep training about a month ago and before that it was 8-12 times a night 💀

I have his 9 month appointment on Friday he turns 9 months tomorrow so I might mention it then.

The roughest sleep we’ve had so far was from 8-9 months (she just turned 10 months). She was learning how to crawl and stand up and finished getting some top teeth in. So if it’s really difficult right now, it’ll most likely be better again soon! ❤️

Yeah sleep got rough mid January 7 1/2 months he’s had a cold, 3 teeth coming in, dealing with constipation, learned to crawl, stand, recently I’ve noticed he’s way more aware of things, like the list goes on it’s been a rough one hopefully the end is in sight

My girl is so fussy at night if she doesn't stick to her routine
She goes to bed at 5pm (yep!! 5pm...) and will sleep til around midnight then wake for a bottle, and then goes straight back to sleep until 6.30/7am

I tried moving her bedtime to 6pm and she woke every 2 hours or so, so we stick with what works for her.
She naps around 11.30am for 2 hours

As for your baby screaming most nights, does it start around the same time?? My now 11 year old suffered night terrors amd they started when she was 8 months old. She would scream for around 2 hours every night starting around 11pm. When we realised it was night terrors we were advised to wake her around 30 mins before one would usually start to disrupt the pattern to eventually stop them from occurring

have you tried gripe water? My baby gets gassy at night sometimes and screams while trying to fart, and we found the gripe water helped a lot with that!

we actually started probiotic drops! So far they seem to make a huge difference!
