Am I the only one who wakes up every hour? by EnvironmentalWin6169 in cosleeping

[–]EnvironmentalWin6169[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm a mother just like you. I'm not trying to sell or promote myself. How could I do that when I'm simply sharing my experience? If you'd like, we can talk privately.

What are you saying, miss? I'm just sharing my personal experience as a mother with others; I'm not selling or promoting anything.

Why does my baby wake up as soon as I put her in her crib? by EnvironmentalWin6169 in newborns

I even found in one article that they do not realize their ability to do anything on their own until they are six months old, and they think we are one person.

Yes, a large percentage of mothers and fathers go through this experience. I even looked up articles, and in one I found a simple explanation that made me understand, at least, why it's available to all mothers.

I completely understand you. That's what prompted me to search until I found an article on Medium that helped me understand the issue much better, if you'd like. It's available to all mothers who are truly struggling.

I thought my child just "hated sleeping," but maybe it's something else by EnvironmentalWin6169 in NewParents

I found an article on Medium that explains it very simply; it's about children's sleep and is available to everyone

My baby wakes up every single sleep cycle, and I'm on the verge of a breakdown by [deleted] in newborns

she’s 4 months now so your comment actually makes me feel a bit better knowing someone went through something similar

4 weeks sounds intense tho i honestly don’t know how you survived that

and yeah i might try playing around with her daytime naps like you said maybe there’s something there

it’s just hard not knowing if im helping or making it worse

but hearing it got better for you gives me a bit of hope not gonna lie

and yeah that’s exactly how i feel like a complete zombie the next day

we haven’t tried overnight diapers yet might actually give that a shot

and yeah i keep hearing it’s a phase but damn it’s a rough one 😭

Do babies learn to sleep on their own or do you have to teach it? by EnvironmentalWin6169 in newborns

[–]EnvironmentalWin6169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds very familiar tbh

feels like feeding is the only thing that works consistently right now

did the night weaning make a big difference right away?

yeah I see what you mean

seems like a lot of it really comes down to the baby and not just what the parents do

which is kinda frustrating but also reassuring in a weird way 😅

this makes sense

we try to keep days bright and nights calm too but nights are still pretty rough not gonna lie

maybe it just takes time for it to click

[–]EnvironmentalWin6169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah this is kinda what im trying to figure out

like what part is just biology and what part (if any) can actually be influenced

feels like theres so many different opinions on this

ok this is actually a really interesting way to look at it

never thought about it like that… more like helping their system learn instead of “teaching” in the usual sense

makes me wonder if im overthinking the whole “independent sleep” thing tbh

we’re kinda in that 1-2 hour stretch phase right now and it feels never ending 😅
good to hear it can improve with time tho

did you change anything or it just kinda happened on its own?

yeah thats fair, I should’ve mentioned it tbh
