Did you adjust to the sleep deprivation?

You definitely will! It’s a struggle but your body gets used to it and you can function semi-normally on little to no sleep. At least mine did. It’s not ideal but it gets better ❤️ my little one is almost 5mo now and he only wakes once or twice at night

After doing it for 6 months I was getting to the point where i couldn't take it anymore as it was really starting to get to me.

Luckily through a little gentle sleep training and her getting older, I'm finally getting a little more sleep around her feeds.

Oh and them sleeping in their own room makes a real difference

You get used to it lol I didn’t know sleep deprived I was until my first started sleeping through the night. You’re in the worst of it with a newborn. It gets better

Don't ever get used to sleep deprivation mamas. I'm a baby sleep coach and mom of 3. The sooner you start sleep training (coaching) your 4+ month old baby the better for you and your family to all get more sleep. Long term sleep deprivation is very bad for your mental health and well-being. If you want to chat or get some aleep tips... send me a message.

It gets better but it does feel like it’s taking forever to actually get better, cause it kinda takes a long time.
When we had our baby we had to take turns with him so we could both get somewhat decent sleep (I exclusively pumped) cause my baby had bad gas and colic / reflux, was awake constantly and crying non stop. It was awful and I remember hearing that “it’ll get better” wasn’t really helping me much. I know you probably feel like you’re about to not survive this phase and that you need it to get better now but hang in there for real! Our baby is now almost 4 months old and only wakes up twice, and the second time it’s 5am so I take it as basically if he wakes up once lol (he sleeps couple of hours more after that).
What helped the most was getting into a bedtime routine that works for you too at 2 months old (or earlier if you can) moving his bedtime between 7-8pm and him sleeping in his own room.
I hope it’s going to get real better soon!!

Yep. But we made some changes that made it easier to adapt. Like Co sleeping and a floor bed.

I didn't with my first, so I started teaching independent sleep at 10 weeks. She was sleeping through the night by 5 months.
With my second, I started teaching independent sleep from birth. I was still sleep deprived, but it was more manageable the second time around.

Sort of. I havent felt refreshed when I woke up since 2023. I just drink coffee at strategic times so im not a horrible human being as im not a nice person when tired 😶‍🌫️. I am litrally the crankey queen of Queens 🫣🫣
