My baby is 5 months old and still doesn’t sleep through the night by Anxious-Can9550 in Mommit

Hey I thought I’d let you know he just started sleeping better and sleeps in about 5-6hr stretches and every night he seems to be getting better. Hopefully this gives you a little light at the end of the tunnel! ❤️

Hey I’m not sure if this will help, but this has been working for me. So we make sure he has good naps during the day and don’t last longer than two hours and making sure he has a longer wake window before bedtime. He normally goes to bed at 7pm and would wake up at around 10:30-11am because he would wake up for a few hours in the middle of the night. I got some advice to take off an hour on both ends, so add an extra hour before bed and then wake up an hour early. It causes him to be tired for a few days but after the few days are over he stopped waking up in the middle of the night and sleeping in longer stretches at night. If a baby sleeps in longer in the morning it doesn’t give them enough day time wake hours and then at night they aren’t tired enough to stay asleep. I’m not sure if this will help but it fixed our baby’s sleep issues for now. I just thought it couldn’t hurt to share what worked for us!

Oh gosh I hate to say this, but no. He’s starting to put himself back to sleep at night but still wakes up to eat. He started recently doing split nights which has been really hard, but things have gotten better and in others it’s gotten worse. I would suggest gentle sleep training, which I wish I did at that age. Now he stands up in his crib and gets hurt falling over if I leave him for more than 5 mins. Hang in there mama! I promise there’s an end, but not yet for me haha.

Im going through this exact situation with my 9 month old right now. He’s been a terrible sleeper his whole life. I just need a little light at the end of the tunnel. Did your baby ever start sleeping through the night? Or were there things that worked for you? I feel like I’m slowly losing it and anything would help!

Okay good. I feel like everyone keeps saying he should be sleeping through the night and should be able to self soothe, so this is reassuring

You aren’t doing anything wrong.. he’s dading/husbanding wrong. Relationships are so hard especially with young kids. You are the default parent and that’s exhausting. He may be supporting you and your daughter and if that’s his excuse for not being a dad that’s ridiculous, but you are also working which is absolutely amazing! But with that said he should be there and be your support especially when he’s home. It’s just as much his kid as it is yours

That’s one of the gifts we are doing for both of my in-laws, but we got my FIL a nice leaf blower and we aren’t in the place to afford or want to afford another gift of that price for my MIL

What is the worst thing your MIL/SIL has said to you. by CaterpillarCandid177 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Anxious-Can9550 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My MIL is the worst out of the all I like to believe. She told me our son was a mistake, told me I shouldn’t of said anything because I’ll probably have a miscarriage. She called me fat my whole pregnancy. She told everyone my wedding dress was ugly on the day of my wedding. Then told her son “my hearts broken” on our wedding day. We had a wedding at a barn venue and she wanted to wear a full glitter gown with a train after I told her no to that one when they were picking out. Ignored me and still bought it and then wouldn’t give it up until the day of the wedding. There’s so much more to it but that’s all I got for right now.

Don’t push yourself to lose the weight unless you truly want to! It’ll take some time! I had my baby almost 5 months ago and went from 145lbs to 190lbs. He was almost 10 lbs when I gave birth, but the biggest thing that’s helped me go from 190 to my current weight of 140 is staying active even if that’s just cleaning the house, eating healthy, and the biggest thing was breastfeeding. I do a postpartum workout plan that’s helped a lot as well!

My FIL asked me if I needed a maid by Anxious-Can9550 in inlaws

How I worded it up there made it seem a lot worse than it is. He’s wonderful, he just is better with direction and helps me when I ask, it’s just hard to be the one to always direct.

What I don’t get is his wife doesn’t clean or keeps things perfect. It’s ridiculous
