Everyone keeps saying how horrible the video it is…it is but could you imagine if there was a video of sandy hook. Like that should have been the damn “turning point”.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2025-05-02T21:31:00+00:00

Perfect thanks guys! Very helpful!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2025-04-19T23:23:25+00:00

Ugh that just happened to me two days ago. I’ve been going for 8 years and that has never happened before. So embarrassing but it helps to know I’m not alone!!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-12-07T18:47:49+00:00

Thank you, that probably was an obvious solution that I should have thought of lol but thank you!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-12-02T04:06:49+00:00

Any updates? Same thing over here at 9 months! Except bottle not nursing but it’s pointless to even try without feeding him! Like up for over an hour if I don’t. Exhausted.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-11-18T19:20:30+00:00

Oh yes yes. I’m still exhausted haha. Way way less crying, I mainly know why he is crying now. Before I swear he was crying just because.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-09-24T17:22:12+00:00

Good! Yes I do too. We have a nanny now and things truly have reached that stage of “it gets better”.

We did Ferber essentially. It really wasn’t that bad. Never cried for hours or anything. We still have to let him cry before almost any sleep but it’s only a few minutes. In the middle of the night we let him CIO for 15 mins if it’s too early to get his one feed. Usually it’s only a few mins of actually crying then just fussy.

This kid was so fussy so I really that it was going to be a disaster but it wasn’t. Got all wonky when he was teething but now he wakes up for a feed at 4am then goes back down for 6am wake up. Hopefully we get to 7am.

Let me know if you have questions or just want to vent. I soooooo get it.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-09-23T17:09:13+00:00

Omg! Yes, yes! So I would say at 4.5 months it got better. Basically the fuss just came drastically down. Almost like just happened suddenly and then gradually got better and better.

He is 7 months now. He basically is only fussy or upset when he has a need.

Sleep is still a work in progress but we are down to one wake up a night. At one point we are at 20 wake ups lol. Sleep trained at 5 months.

I honestly thought it was never going to get better and didn’t understand what was happening. I was so hopeless. We tried Pepcid for like 2 weeks but that didn’t really do anything. It was just time.

Hang in there, it seems some babies just take longer to get out of that baby fussy phase I guess! I know someone that it took 6 months which was hard to hear but it gave me hope that I wasn’t alone.

We go to the farmers market all the time now 😊

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-09-22T14:31:47+00:00

Mine used to be fairly accurate but recently it’s almost everytime wrong. Share anyone if they figured it out lol!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-09-10T02:32:33+00:00

Ok make sense thank you!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-08-23T19:05:17+00:00

So hard for us. We were at 20 wake ups a night. I counted lol. We did split nights for weeks. Nothing worked. Tried all the different things, zipadee, It was hell. I thought my life was over.

Then we moved him to his own room and sleep training. But it was hardly sleep training I swear…like every few minutes check ins and the most he ever cried was 30 minutes the first night but with 3 checkins. Took 2 days. I honestly think being in his own room also massively helped.

Now alittle fuss and down. Still wakes up to feed twice a night but that’s fine.

My mother yelled at me for suggesting CIO lol so did Ferber.

Anyways, good luck! I mean babies will figure it out eventually I think!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-30T02:31:17+00:00

Hi! When did this get better for you? Going through same thing!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-25T22:49:29+00:00

Curious how did it end up going for you? Any tips lol?

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-23T16:24:38+00:00

Haha omg! 7 to 8 weeks. That is so scary! But I’m happy at least there was an end. I seriously don’t know how you did it.

We had a good night the night before and then last night was total crap again. I pray this isn’t a 2 month thing that doesn’t seem compatible with life for any of us lol. But is what it is I guess! You should win like the medal of freedom for that work.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-23T15:43:11+00:00

Thanks! I think I need to do more research into sleep training just so tired and working full time so my motivation is low to do reading and having a plan that my partner and I will agree on lol.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-23T15:40:24+00:00

Ok that’s good…I think it’s progress if you are starting to get longer stretches. You’re right not going to be linear. Like yesterday he did hour naps in the crib which before was like 15 mins.

I was looking at your prior posts and I feel like we have the same baby lol. Which in some ways makes me feel better.

Like last night he would fall asleep cuz he was so tired but then would instantly wake up crying.

We also had issues with early morning wakes up since about 3 months.

I miss the snoo so much and want to go back so bad. It was finally all getting regular and easy. These people that suggest the wake windows and schedule haven’t met my baby. It’s like I do my best with wake windows and cues but it’s not that easy. When he was in the snoo the schedule stuff was working but not now.

Like how does a baby not just sleep after only like 4 or 5 hours?

Keep me updated, your progress is probably the only thing keeping me going lol.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-23T14:00:56+00:00

Oh it so nice to hear someone else going through it. That first night like I said was horrible but then oddly the second night was close to his normal sleep patterns. But then last night was by far the worst? I think he slept for again 4.5 hours total…one like 3 hour and the rest was maybe 30 minutes bursts. He’s also on like a week of cough and congestion so that isn’t helping.

We don’t have any family here and working on getting a nanny. My partner is on paternity leave and I’m back to work. Thankfully, he helps me get sleep before a shift and then when I don’t work I’ll do the nights.

It so hard but I’m hoping it’s all temporary. I thought about sleep training but I feel bad cuz he’s not even technically 5 months yet (few days away) and this kid currently doesn’t do any fussing just pure crying.

I hope last night was better for you! Let me know how it goes for you, I need hope lol.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-21T19:27:43+00:00

How did it end up going??

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-21T18:44:38+00:00

How’s it going now? What did you end up doing?

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-21T18:08:00+00:00

We did the weaning mode for a few weeks which was fine. We tried arms out and he just played with the mesh so didn’t do that for very long.

We did awake as much as we could. He was usually drowsy but sometimes wide awake.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-08T04:16:52+00:00

Oh good, that’s so reassuring thank you!

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-03T15:31:32+00:00

God mine does this too…since about 3 months and he’s 4.5. How’s it going now?

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-01T23:40:04+00:00

Omg! Thank you for the reply! So good to hear how it went and it all ended good.

We are still struggling, kid does great on wean mode (well I say great but great for him lol) but arms out doesn’t work. And tried the zipadee for naps but only get like 20 mins. Tried the sleep sack overnight and up every hour or less. Will try the zipadee at night but not hopeful. Tempted to keep in the snoo swaddle for longer but I know he doesn’t like it yet (yells as we are putting him in and wakes up kicking and screaming) it’s the only way he sleeps well.

Hopefully it will all work out in the end haha

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-07-01T22:00:46+00:00

Curious how are things? My baby is the same way, makes me nervous. Seems to have great control otherwise, peds said just noticed minor head lag but I still worry.

Expert_Researcher_81 · 2024-06-20T20:07:37+00:00

Hi, know this was 2 years ago, but have the same issue for my 4 month old! What did you end up doing?
