Nightmare baby

Ha ha... I am thinking of how awful those initial days were. We were discussing about those newborn phase days, laughing about that. I would be glad if it's 6+ times during the night. I stayed all night up, during those days.

Don't worry things will change, they sleep in their own bed. You will get better sleep. But not immediately, it takes some time.

TBH I miss that newborn baby, as she is grown up (almost 2 yr old).

Baby cries for few reasons:

Milk (hungry)
Gas (Burp)
Wet nappy (check it regularly)
Temperature (too cold /too hot)
Physical discomfort (sleeping position /bedding material)
They expect mom's/main carer's skin to skin.


This is all common because the baby is trying to adapt to this new environment.

You please keep yourself hydrated /do frequent mini snacking that helps to fight back these days.

You are there almost, great job mama, this is just a phase. Take care mama xx

My daughter is nearly 16 months and still wakes during the night. I just try to remember that it’s not their fault. They’re not trying to give you a hard time. I also think social media likes to make us think that it’s normal for a baby to sleep through the night, but it’s not!

But understand that it’s easier said than done when you’re sleep deprived!

Hope it gets better for you x

My son woke every 1-2 hours until he was over 2. Between 4-10 months he woke every 43 mins on the dot.

I’ve just had my second, he’s an equally shit sleeper if not worse 😂

But yes it does get better, yes you do forget, yes you will sleep again, yes you will brave another baby if you want one x
