Sleep deprived! Tips

Oh no, I feel for you, this sounds so hard. My little one only started sleeping through the night around the same age as your little one is now and to this day I believe it’s only because I went to a friend’s overnight hen do (first time I wasn’t at home at night after she was born) and left my partner in charge and I’m pretty sure he slept through the wake ups and the baby that always needed soothing soothed herself back to sleep all by herself - and somehow adopted that practice that night and has slept through since then 🤯🤯🤯 sounds awful and I’m not saying this is the way to do it or even that it might work as every baby is so different (and they come without a manual!! 🤣) but might be worth a try too 😅 and in the meantime hang in there mama, you are doing great, it is just very very hard!

Oh wow that’s amazing, yeah because he doesn’t actually want anything when he wakes up just to be rocked back to sleep, I’ve even tried putting him in bed with me and he still wakes up. I would try it but I get a rush of bad anxiety when he cries and the guilt is too much 😂 it’s so difficult but I do know a lot of people that have said it’s the only thing that worked for them. Thankyou for your comment and your kind words, I really appreciate it :) x

Oh gosh, yes, I was the same, totally against the cry it out method and riddled by guilt so I’d rush to her immediately whenever I heard crying 😩 but I honestly think that if I didn’t actually physically leave the house for the night to go to that hen do, I think she’d still be waking up now. I was even looking at baby cam whilst at the hen do, ready to call my partner to wake him up but I don’t even think she did (it was as if she knew that mummy’s not here, just daddy). It was too loud in the night club and my friends were like ‘stop that now and go enjoy freedom for a bit’🤣 so I just never did call him 😄

Yeah makes you wonder doesn’t it! That’s exactly how I am 😂 I might see if I can do it tonight a little bit see how long it takes for me to break hahaha x

I have tips for you to do this without too much crying, it saved my sanity!! It’s basically a mix of things I read from Taking Cara Babies and a book called 12 hours in 12 weeks. Have a look at them and see what you think, I paid for both of them can’t remember the price but I think the book was fairly cheap. I would be happy to help you with any questions how I did it, just drop me a message xx
