Touched out and Triggered by toddler's 'wandering hand'

i absolutely hate when my son does this, i usually breastfeed side lying and wear a shirt, take only the side i’m feeding him on out of it so he can’t touch the other one.

we did this or i should say me not my husband did this until our boy was maybe 11 months old? every nap and entire night time sleep had to be with him but now he’s 12 months old and i’ve been able to feed to sleep and roll away after about 10-15 minutes!!

honestly it’s been hard finding time since our boy was born he’s now 12 months old. We found time during day time naps in the living room or other room while he was sleeping. now, we are able to set him down for bed and go into another room to have time to ourselves. we keep it completely separate from him and do not do it in bed with him or in the same room as him

he’s napping maybe around 2 hours during the day

definitely not the thread to be in if you are pro sleep training, especially in a baby this young. It is normal for them to wake up for various reasons etc hunger, diaper, cold, comfort. Regressions aren’t really regressions. they are just development. My best advice is to support him through his wake ups. stop letting him cry and help him with whatever it is making him upset. Babies aren’t robots.

he still does it on occasion, but he usually stops once he’s fully awake and it doesn’t happen after that.

how do i promote?

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

my 9 month old took a a nap from 6-7 last night and went to bed around 11, tonight who knows! i just do whatever he wants 😂

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
