I have a 1 year old girl and she’s incredible but I’m just waiting for it to get easier. I think it did (a little bit) get easier at the 6 month mark but now at 1 I feel like it’s gone back to being v hard and… I’m not sure. Is there an age you get to sleep again? Or not be in pain (breasts are still sore).

It comes in waves. I found 5 months to 18 months quite hard, then sleep became better and it felt really positive until 2 yr 8m now we are in another very tough cycle. Trust that the wheel will turn 🫶

I think that's just how it goes. Each phase is easier and harder in its own way and when you get used to it, they start a whole new phase. It's exhausting but also so fun seeing them do new things. Hang in there, soon theyll be big and won't need you at all 🥹🥺🤍

Never gets easier 🤣 my oldest is 6years old and still a pain 🤣

Have you tried Co sleeping if you aren’t already honestly it’s been the only way for me to get good sleep

Are you breastfeeding? Do you know what's causing your breasts to feel sore?xx

My 2 year old is wonderful. He was 2 in January and he plays on his own more. You can have conversations together and things feel much easier. Yes he can be whiney at times but hes great. I am not sure when she turned 1 but at around 13 months, my boy started sleeping through the night. I know eveyrone is different but it will get easier and less overwhelming x

I think the hardness bit just changes! And depending on you and your little one what you find hard compared with others will change.
I found 10 months way easier than the first 5 months.
Sleep can be so variable!
Are you breastfeeding? Your breasts shouldn’t be sore day to day if so regardless of age.
I sometimes pump to relieve the pressure.
Sleep is still vary variable for us. Co sleeping made things much more manageable.
From what I’ve seen on here most people said their breastfed babies slept through by 18 months or at least could get themselves back to sleep.
Sending hugs. Do you have anyone near by who can support or take little one so you can catch up on sleep? X
