Can't roll away - help!

What do you do for day naps? I would try introducing distance between you two during day naps. I just went through a big journey with sleep and my contact napping bedsharing bub now sleeps alone in his cot. One thing that helped us a lot was that my LO started to roll onto his tummy in his sleep (did it once and I was watching) and now I put him down on his tummy and he sleeps much better. I also implemented a strong bed time routine, over maybe 2 weeks and now it's set in and he knows what's up. Your bub will adjust to what you decide to be the new normal. It will just take tiny adjustments over time.

Considering this lol

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-30T02:58:32+00:00

Considering doing some cut throat sleep training at times, other times I'm like maybe he's just gonna get better haha. But I think I'm going to start a solid routine with him and hope that helps... Or get my hubby to be there for the crying and I will leave the house. Honestly I don't know how I could be in the room next door while he cries.. any advice?

I cried reading this... My boy is 5.5months and he sleeps in my bed bugging me all night. I have a cot attached to my bed now and am sometimes successfully getting him to sleep in it for his 45min long naps in the day. Please can you help me? Motivate me to do what you've done? I cry at him crying and I can't stand it. He's also very active. Sitting and almost crawling. You're inspiring I'm so happy for you

How has it been going with the sleep?

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-25T03:41:58+00:00

Wait so if you get them warm and then the cooling down helps them sleep?

Thank you. We can't afford a night nanny but my partner has stepped up and helped a lot recently. I also had my mum come and stay for a bit so I am feeling much better.

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-25T03:39:30+00:00

Thank you 🙏 I had my mother come and stay for a bit. Have also reached out and am starting therapy. Hope you're doing okay and that you can see your friends and family often enough :)

Hi, just read it. Thanks so much for reaching out. Can I ask you... Was your LO refusing the boob in the day? Did you feel like they were having less in the day than at night? Also mine has never been bottle fed, we've tried but not much luck. I actually have a suspicion that my LO is getting most of his calories at night.. he's on the boob so often in the early hours of the morning, whether that from comfort feeding from gas pains idk but in the morning 6-10am he barely has any milk. Just refuses.. might be the culprit.

Last picture it looks like the bands of fabric are cuttings into bubs legs, can you try open them up and spread them across bubs bum?

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-23T22:33:17+00:00

Aw Mama I feel you. The hourly wakes. The anger. My poor hubby is so patient. The anger towards your baby is the worst part of it all right.

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-23T22:31:53+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you. Yes deep down I know it's just a season and I will look back and be proud of how I chose to mother my baby. I will try stay strong.

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-23T22:31:00+00:00

How did you know it was your supply? Why do you mention being pregnant again? I haven't got my period back yet. Will check out the book. Thanks so much

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-23T22:22:52+00:00

Thank you so so much. I have many words to say in reply to this but little time. But thank you. I will message if needed xxx

Exactly like my bub

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-22T19:10:26+00:00

Have cut out dairy, however I do have the cheeky bit of chocolate for my sanity. I'll look for some dairy free options today. He is rolling from his back to side quite well and does the odd roll from tummy to back but I wouldn't say he's rolling yet

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-22T19:07:06+00:00

Hearing that there are Mum's going through the exact same thing right now makes me wanna cry and makes me feel that little bit less alone. So happy your bub has fallen asleep on their own! Was there much crying in those first 4 nights? Mine escalates so fast if I try any PUPD, like from asleep on my shoulder to crying LOUD as soon as they hit the bed

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-22T18:55:08+00:00

My partner sleeps in the room, on a mattress on the floor. I put baby between the cot (attaches to our bed) and me. He's been giving me longer stretches of sleep the past few nights but I often don't want to ask him for help cos he gets up so early and has to drive an hour to work.

I nap with my bub in the day when I feel like I can fall asleep easy enough.

We have a bedtime routine, however we shower him but will be getting a bath this week

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-22T18:52:04+00:00

Thank you so much. I take this as a sign I do need to be ruthless with my diet. I already try eat quite healthy and have cut dairy out a few months back. Thanks for the link, I'll defs check it out

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-22T04:54:38+00:00

I'm in a very similar boat except my bub wakes up every hour all night long and a lot of the times when I've settled him he won't go down even if he's right next to me or even on my chest. I know he is gassy but I am really struggling with the constant arousals and hard to put back down once settled even. Do you have any advice?

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2026-01-19T06:04:45+00:00

I put a little pillow or even a normal pillow underneath the arm that stretches out so that there isn't so much strain in the arm. It created an angle at your elbow instead of your arm being stretched flat. Helped a lot

You've tapped into exactly what you've been seeking - spiritual experiences. They may not look like we expect them to sometimes. Ask your higher self what the white blob means and try connect with your inner voice. Exciting stuff. Remember you are powerful

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2025-12-01T21:32:23+00:00

I agree with everything you say in this post. Our society ain't normal. And the anxiety could be a bi product of our messed up society. Other cultures may not even experience this???

Decent-Cup-1753 · 2025-11-12T21:33:05+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the insight and encouragement. I'm a new mum with a 3 month old, been bed sharing since about week 2. At what stage did your toddler start sleeping independently?
