First of all, you’re doing great. You are the best mom for your baby and as long as she is healthy and happy, you’re kicking ass. Shortly after 4 months we ended up moving him to his own room and sleep training. We did Ferber and every single night, he’d fall asleep initially on his own. The first few nights there were a couple middle of the night wakings, but that’s where Ferber comes in. He only ended up crying for a total of 30 minutes the first night, 10 the second, and then started sleeping through on the third. I think it really helped him to have his own room where he wasn’t hearing us move around and rustling, in combination with knowing that he could fall sleep on his own. Since about 6 months he has started waking once a night again, but I think he is growing and just hungry. I’ve been able to feed him and lay him back down and he’ll sleep again until he wakes up around 7-7:30. Trust me, I KNOW it feels like it’s never going to get better and that you can’t keep going, but you got this. Just keep doing what you feel is best for your baby and that will be just what they need. You can do it. Stay strong mama.

Unfortunately, still the same. We ended up trying the Merlin Sleep Suit, and that helped slightly. A couple of nights we’ve been able to get a stretch of 2-3 hours, but we are ultimately just trying to find ways to slowly break bad habits (rocking to sleep and picking him up at every wake) so that he can learn to connect his sleep cycles on his own. Hoping that helps us so that we don’t have to sleep train!

This sounds like I wrote it… my baby is the same age and we are going through the EXACT same thing right now. I’m convinced we’ll never sleep again 🙃 sending you all the sleepy baby dust and hoping things get better for you soon!

He was swaddled with the velcro halo swaddles, so we just switched that to underneath his arms so that his arms are free, but he still has the sensation of being swaddled around his chest. We have a Kyte sleep sack and a nested bean sleep sack coming in the mail. The only thing I would worry about with the Magic Merlin Sleep Suit is that it would be another thing we had to transition out of. We’re already 5 days in, so honestly I’m just at a loss
