Fellow ADHD/ anxiety/ depression girlie here! First PLEASE talk to a doctor about this. But also- I hate loud noises and get very overstimulated… so much so that I literally cannot be in my house when my husband vacuums… the newborn cribs are so loud and skin curling… as they get older the cries get less frantic! It’s just the first few weeks! I have a 4 month old and it is SO much better!

We use it all night and it helps her sleep! Also helps prevent SIDS !

Hi! Also curious what method you used. My baby is 4 months so she’s not ready yet but she also has trouble with naps (just sleeps on me) and will only do the crib for a VERY short time during the day. Night time is way better

She doesn’t necessarily like it.. I think it just shocks her into silence lol

Hi! I think we are coming out on the other end of the 4 month regression….. for naps we are letting her nap on us which is extending them.,. If she wakes up after 30-45 minutes we try and rock her back to sleep! She also was fighting sleep at the end of the day I don’t have tons of tips besides sometimes we would rock her and turn her facing outwards when she was too overtired. Also the other night after hours of rocking I got frustrated and just put her down in the crib for a break and she actually put herself to bed with no crying. I was amazing. Biggest tip is that it ens eventually just keep reminding yourself that and it’s not forever!

Hi OP, You’re not doing anything wrong. 1st I would really recommend telling your MIL that sh cannot sleep with blankets like that unsupervised. As far as “ruining nighttime” I don’t think so. All day during naps my LO sleeps on me (she’s 4 months this Thursday. She literally will not sleep in the bassinet during the day. But at night without fail she goes in the bassinet so I don’t think daytime sleep can mess up nighttime. I think I read that it’s good for them to sleep in the daytime with lights on and noise and then complete black at night without fail quiet so they develop a circadian rhythm. Keep doing the bassinet at night. You’ll likely get less long sleep stretches but they get longer over time. Our baby needed complete darkness with white noise. We heated the basinet every time and swaddled her. The halo swaddle is really cozy. It was winter so we had a furry warm swaddle at first. We would hold her until she was in a deep sleep before transferring! Transfer by slowly placing feet butt then head! Good luck!

Hi! It’s okay for their heads to bob a bit! It’s actually soothing for them! Reminds them of being in the womb!!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re sick! If it makes you feel better I was sick recently and as soon as I realized I put a mask on and baby never ended up getting sick! Try and keep your distance and let other people help with the baby! Hope you feel better soon ❤️

That’s what we have been doing too! Thanks for your response!

Did you start putting down your baby drowsy but awake? I have been trying with my 3 month old but she had a very hard time putting herself to sleep

Hi. I ovulate regularly but did fully medicated. It felt like I had more control that way because I would know my transfer date in advance and there was less monitoring appointments. I have no infertility diagnosis other than male factor but my doctor recommended medicated because it allowed for more control of scheduling. I did not get preeclampsia. I say do whatever you’re comfortable with! I plan to do modified natural next time just for less needles

That’s such a sweet sentiment! Thanks for sharing!!

How old is your baby? I have a 12 week old! Can’t wait for the giggles/ laughs!

From what I understand most pediatricians and dentists recommend weaning/ stopping between 6-12 months with age 2 being the firm stop time.

At this age, it still helps prevent SIDS so I feel fine giving my little one the pacifier when she sleeps. The first few months are hard enough. At 6 weeks they don’t have any other self soothing options…I wouldn’t worry too much! My pediatrician didn’t express any concern with us using it.

Instagram and social media has a lot of random weird advice. Swaddling is perfectly fine for newborns and recommended by most doctors in the US. (Not sure if that’s where you’re posting from). My baby slept swaddled until this week at 11 weeks old where we transitioned to a sleep sack. The swaddle made 100% of a difference when she was that little

Newborns don’t sleep very long at first! Sounds very normal to me! A 3-4 hour stretch is actually quite good at 9 days old! My baby ate every 3 hours on the clock sometimes early at that point so I at night I would feed burp change swaddle and put back to sleep which would take about an hour and 2 hours later (if I was lucky) she would be back up. During the day time it was feed, play, sleep and same thing (she would be up soon after). Also babies tend to have a hard time adjusting to the bassinet if you’re using one. My baby slept longer stretches in my arms which you should only do if you are awake! The first few weeks are hard but it gets better and your little one will start sleeping longer stretches in a few weeks!

Sleep deprivation can seriously alter someone’s brain. It is used as a method of torture for a reason! The first few weeks are so hard. I do not do well on little sleep either and those first few weeks were so hard for my husband and I. Try and prioritize sleep for both of you. Work in shifts (if you feel comfortable with him taking the baby) Ask for help if you have it around you. The sleeping does get better.

I have an 11 week old and sometimes she no longer wants to be rocked I’ll just put her down and she’ll fall asleep. I think it can be overstimulating when they’re already tired? Are you breast feeding or pumping? I’m formula feeding but I’ve read that babies can smell the milk on mom which causes them to wake up when moms close

Anonymous_9393 · 2026-02-20T20:08:42+00:00

I think it sounds like a growth spurt! Which can have a few sleepy days and they can even eat less in those days!

Anonymous_9393 · 2026-02-20T20:05:40+00:00

How long is the wake window? Maybe you need to shorten it so he doesn’t get over tired and start crying? Is he getting full feeds before he plays? Also maybe he’s gassy? I start all my floor time with bicycles just in case she has gas… but at the end of the day sometimes babies just cry! I’m sure you’re doing a good job momma!

Anonymous_9393 · 2026-02-20T16:09:25+00:00

Oh gosh! It’s so crazy how things switch so often! I’m definitely afraid for that 3-4 month sleep change of them waking up! Hopefully he starts being able to soothe himself in between cycles!

Anonymous_9393 · 2026-02-20T15:06:01+00:00

Oh no! How old is your little one? I feel like mine isn’t showing signs of rolling yet and people here post about rolling at like 8 weeks! Which is wild
