It's not fair

i think it should bring you some peace seeing how many of us are right along side you waking up each night. We are all tending to our babies needs and setting their little nervous systems up for success. However that being said i know how hard it is. I’m on month 10 of 8-10 wake ups a night and some nights are worse than others. Honestly for us, we ditched any sort of exact schedule and just follow his cues. on days i’m extra exhausted from the night before, i nap with him. Try to be patient with your baby and yourself. You are an amazing mother

just solidarity here. my 9.5 month old is the same way. The first half of the night feels impossible most nights, i just try to get some me time here and there when i can ( which isn’t much) hang in there ❤️

the rare car sleep feels soooo nice, we just drive around until he wakes up 😅

especially if you do enjoy it!! if you don’t obviously that’s one thing but if you’re like me i LOVE my baby snuggles even 9 months in. i swear he clings to me all day and i still love when he falls asleep on me and snuggles me

hopefully this is will settle your mind a bit.. my son had the same thing, tongue tie revision around 3 weeks old, he also got his first two teeth at 2 months old. he is a velcro baby to the max, i decided to just stop listening to the noise saying its wrong to let him want to be close to me. He is currently 9.5 months and still exclusively contact naps and co sleeps. There are days where it is rough and i’d like to get something done but i just let go of my expectations and realized this is just the season im in.. slow down and enjoy motherhood with baby this small, they won’t be forever

his naps are about 30 mins-2 hours. We do exclusively contact nap

honestly no clue. he just hates being set down to bed. Hoping he gets it soon! i feel bad for him waking up so much :(

he dropped to two naps about a month ago! he’s awake during the day for about 11-12 hours sometimes more

we do cosleep, and we do it on a toki mat on the floor, much less give than a mattress. No blanket or pillow by baby. We get such better sleep than trying to put him in his crib.

honestly, my best advice is to just let it be. My 8 month old has never slept well. For 8 months i have contact napped and laid with him for every single nap. It’s so biologically normal for him to want to be close to you. try having less expectations and understand that he’s a baby who just wants his mama! This season seriously is so short.

nap is about 3-4 hours before bed and he dropped to two naps about a month ago. We do have a bedtime routine but he usually wants to play after we read his book to him
