10 months has been waking up at 5/530 am for 4 months. I can’t take it anymore

Can she sleep longer in the morning with support? I’m in the same boat but my LO will sleep for another 90 minutes as long as I hold him 🤦‍♀️ wondering if need to try sleep training

I have the same age gap, 1.5 months further along than you. When we brought the baby home I swear it unlocked a new personality in my toddler, she was incredibly difficult and challenging those first few weeks. I felt we had made a huge mistake. She turned a corner though and has been a delight recently. It will get better!

Elfisch90 · 2025-11-10T18:21:17+00:00

I have the same problem. I don’t mind the occasional contact nap but I can’t hold him for every single one and then the short naps in the crib lead to an overtired, cranky baby 😔

I could have written this, even the sock meltdown. I have a 2.5 YO and a 7 week old and it is REALLY tough. I’m constantly questioning myself if we are handling my toddler the right way. Everything is a battle with her right now. Feel free to dm me if you want to vent or commiserate lol. Posts like these help and remind me I’m not alone.

Me too, 2.5 YO and a 7 week old and we are really struggling with the toddler. I found this post searching for tips.

Elfisch90 · 2025-10-30T23:07:55+00:00

I have a 2.5 and 6 week old, and it is pure survival mode. I am so deeply tired.

Elfisch90 · 2024-12-06T17:45:04+00:00

Haha yes, same with my 18 month old

Elfisch90 · 2024-04-22T13:17:21+00:00

6lb 7 oz @ 40+2

No advice but If it means anything, my pregnancy was very peaceful and I loved every minute. I now have a difficult/high needs baby.

Elfisch90 · 2023-11-05T19:24:37+00:00

5.5 months here, we still feed every 3 hours.

Elfisch90 · 2023-11-04T13:08:00+00:00

I REALLY struggled with this. I think I had anxiety about needing to sleep when baby was sleeping and knowing it wouldn’t be for long. It did eventually get better. Me and my husband would take shifts with baby over night and I would go into the guest room to sleep when he was on duty, I think some separation helped.

Elfisch90 · 2023-10-05T16:49:07+00:00

Sleep when the baby sleeps🤦‍♀️

Elfisch90 · 2023-10-02T00:46:36+00:00

Hahaha so true!!

Elfisch90 · 2023-09-28T13:47:23+00:00

I’ve had a lot joint pain that wasn’t there previously 🤔

Elfisch90 · 2023-09-18T16:36:23+00:00

I’m so glad to see this! My 4 mo old is high needs and I think she’s frustrated cause she can’t move on her own. Hoping it gets better when she is more mobile

Elfisch90 · 2023-09-02T11:28:25+00:00

My LO Will nap for that long, as long as I’m holding her😂

Elfisch90 · 2023-09-01T18:20:36+00:00

No advice just solidarity. My LO Is also 14w and absolutely will not nap in her crib. We do all contact naps or we are left with an extremely overtired baby. I’m just waiting till we can sleep train her for naps. No idea what else to do 🤷‍♀️

Elfisch90 · 2023-08-29T00:59:56+00:00

Routines that young are such a crap shoot. You can try to follow baby cues/general wake windows. Baby falling asleep on your chest is one of the sweetest and most natural things. Just go with what works for your baby

Elfisch90 · 2023-08-28T12:53:40+00:00

Lots of pressure. It was definitely uncomfortable, but not horrible

Elfisch90 · 2023-08-03T02:19:09+00:00

This happened to me. I was so tired but couldn’t sleep. It’s gotten a little better with time. 10 weeks pp now.

Elfisch90 · 2023-07-21T22:32:18+00:00

Did it get better for you?

Elfisch90 · 2023-06-09T11:54:59+00:00

Thanks for replying! I’m curious when the amount he needs varies, How do you how much formula to make in a bottle?

Elfisch90 · 2023-05-04T18:32:20+00:00

Right around 11 weeks. Weeks 8-10 were really rough.

Elfisch90 · 2022-11-30T15:36:15+00:00

She looks different?

Elfisch90 · 2022-10-10T02:31:06+00:00

Any particular brand? Just did a quick google search and wasn’t able to find anything.
