I can't keep living like this

She never was a good sleeper. Now she wants up in the middle of the middle. Just plays. I'm so tired I'm not joking. I really need help

I'm really sorry :/ tbh I be asking AI evreything, have you asked family to help out..?

Also warm milk right before bed

Maybe try magnesium lotion on her legs I’m not sure if they can for kids but it helps me sleep

More activity during the day. Less naps. Not sure if she even does. How old? You may need to add cereal to formula at night to make it more filling feed (this what my mom tells me I’m starting it next month) I got a sound machine and a Merlin sleep sack recently and I have had major improvements bc same thing was happening to me. Baby also had some gassy ness at night so dealt with that But the routine as everyone has said is crucial. Lots of activity throughout day. Sunlight first thing in the morning too

You got this momma, it's in the moment

@Jenna I have cereal in my daughters bottles due to pediatrician suggestion cause of her reflux and promise it doesn’t help them sleep at night any longer. It also makes them horribly gassy.

Honey where are you located though? (You can message me if you want) If you need a break where you just want to take a nap and get rested I’d be glad to let you do that. I understand how you feel. But stick to a bedtime routine. Don’t put her on a schedule. She’s too young and it changes every week (have a 4 month old. She’s never the same) my daughter was a horrible sleeper until recently and now she sleeps from 10:30-5am wakes up to eat and then goes back to bed till 8. She only takes 2 3 hour naps a day. From 9-11 and from 1-4

How old is baby?? If she’s very little, they say good sleep during the day means good sleep at night even though that sounds counterintuitive

@Alysa your baby’s day schedule is a dream. I wish mine had that long of naps haha

Taking Cara babies really helped us. Also like others have said staying busy and having a routine. You got this mama! Sending you love!!

How old is baby? I’m sorry you’re struggling! Sometimes my girl goes through spurts of waking every hour, then sometimes she’ll give me a 5 hour stretch. Yesterday I woke up soaked in milk because my body had gotten used to her waking me every hour to comfort feed 🫠 so even when I got more sleep I didn’t rest much! Knowing age of baby could help us give you advice- before becoming a mom I was a nanny for years so have some experience with baby-toddler sleep. Some babies are just better sleepers unfortunately 😭
