Awake until 1am!

Anyone else’s little one just come alive at night time? I’m absolutely exhausted to the point I’m falling asleep during feeds. She sleeps most the day and then come evening she is wide awake, I don’t get her down until 1/2am every single night where she sleeps until 5:30am. From 6pm-1/2am it’s just constant feeds back to back and being very alert/fussy.

Any tips? Please tell me I’m not alone🤣🤣

Maybe try keeping her awake in between naps during the day? My LO was like this around 6-8 weeks but that’s because he was sleeping majority of the day, and came alive in the evening. He’d go down fully at 1am-10am with a wake up every 2-3 hours, but now he can’t stay awake past 7-8pm

I am also the same feel like I can’t plan anything in the morning because he wakes up about 6 and then we both go back to sleep

4-month-old waking every hour at night – how can I help her sleep longer?

My baby is 4 months old, and for the past few weeks she has been waking almost every hour at night. She wants to breastfeed and then goes straight back to sleep.

During the day, she usually only naps for around 30 minutes. If I rock her back to sleep, sometimes she will continue sleeping, but other times she just stays awake.

What am I doing wrong? How can I change this, if it’s even possible? I’m exhausted. 😭

Advice

Girls, my little girl is 14 months old now and is struggling in her cot as we co slept from December right threw till about 2 weeks ago, I’ve found that when I put my pillow I don’t use in which by the way is quite thin and a lot firmer than the rest she seems to sleep a lot better but I’m terrified of her sleeping with one I’ve bought her a toddler one and again she wakes up constantly should I leave her without one and get up or is she ok with my pillow? I’m worried she’s still to young

Fed up

My 16 month old is only waking twice a night but for both those time she is suckling on me for 40 minutes and then I can’t transfer her to the cot so I’m in there for nearly an hour and then have to end up getting my husband to come in when she’s asleep enough to pass her to him, within 10/15 minutes of being in there he gets her down

I know two wake ups isn’t bad but being in there for so long is killing me and then because I’m so awake after that it’s really hard to get back to sleep.

The only answer is to stop the nursing back to sleep but she cries so much I can’t handle it, a few minutes feels like a life time 😩 I feel so trapped and fed up this is so so hard. I can deal with multiple wakes if she goes back down easily but this is torture
I wouldn’t even mind co sleeping but our bed is way too high and our mattress is very soft so it’s not safe and whenever we’ve tried anyway she just gets wide awake and thinks it’s play time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Advice for 5yr old

Hello, my 5yr old (F) has always had a spicier attitude, she’s spunky, fun, loud, creative, has the best laugh and super sassy. Lately her attitude SUCKS! She complains over EVERRRYYYTTTHHHINNNG. If we ask her to do something she tells me and my husband “no” she’ll fight us on everything argues over everything with us and her older sister, she hits her older sister and will sometimes scream at her. The attitude is ridiculous. She screams and kicks and cries. It’s very over the top. I’ve tried the time outs, doesn’t work, I’ve tried “good charts” doesn’t work. I’ve given warnings idk I feel like I’ve done almost everything and nothing is helping. Today, after a big blow up, I took away everything in her room besides her dresser and bed and books. I’m looking to get advice on how to handle it and redirect the behavior? Idk help🫣
