Sleep rant

Omg how long will it last for 😭 baby is 6 months and basically from 3/3.5 months she stopped sleeping during the night 🥲 on the best night she would do every 2h, on the worst night, she would do every 45 min. We are already cosleeping but it’s so hard, I don’t know how long I can deal with this for. I soooo don’t want to sleep train her, but I don’t know when eventually she will get it and sleep at night 😵‍💫

No advice, but commenting as we’re in the exact same boat with our little lady! Wishing you luck 🤞🏼

Same position and mine is sleep trained. I think it's teething plus developmental x

Going through the same thing here 😵‍💫

I sleep trained my first. Everything went perfect. He did naps perfect. Still woke 1-2 on the night (but I was fine) and they phased out as he got older.

Sleep trained my second. He’ll still sometimes wake every 2 hours. He’s is KILLING me and we co sleep most nights. Will put himself down for bed fine, but can’t do naps.

However sleep training him is the best thing I’ve done. Even for putting himself down as I often have to do solo bedtimes so it really helps me with my first kid.

Sleep is just the worst/hardest part of it all 😭

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
