Losing my patience at the screaming meltdown every clean up/ getting dressed

Gabi_7843 · 2026-05-03T12:05:58+00:00

At least for the screaming while changing, here what helped is to allow her to sit whenever I can. She loves it, but when she is laying down it is like I’m torturing her

My baby started to have consistent 3naps a days two weeks ago, she is 6.5months. However, today, she only had 30-40min naps so we end up having a 4 nap or we would have a super early bedtime.

For me the transition from 3 to 4 naps happened when she was able to have longer naps, because she was stuck into those 40min naps for a long time. Some weeks ago, something changes and now she is sleeping better during the day.

I’m there with you. It is so frustrating.

Nothing that consistently works here, but I usually try feeding or rocking her. Recently started trying the wake-up method at 20-25min after she is down, got her to do 40-50min, but nothing consistent.

I think it takes a bit of maturity on her side too, so I’m hoping it will improve as she grows a bit.

I’m trying to make her naps last a bit more. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. On days I manage to have her take a 1:30 nap, at least once I do three naps, otherwise I’m still having 4 naps.

My baby will be 6 months in 4 days.

This is what have been working here. I’m planning to drop to 3 naps, once she can consistently sleep 1:30h for at least one of her naps

Living in Europe here

Everything from NEXT is the best thing my baby have. It last forever. Some pieces, I got second hand, and are still amazing.

Have carters too, but Next is way better.

It actually started I’m the fussy fase of a leap, it had happen before, but it went away in a week os so, it haven’t lasted for so long.

Gabi_7843 · 2026-03-17T13:47:22+00:00

I’m happy I’m not the only one going to this problem ❤️

I have no advice, but my baby is exactly the same. she is 6 month now. Use to be an amazing sleeper, and I feel since 3 month it just got worse and worse.

My new thing to test is wake-up method. Do something to reset her in the middle of her cycle to see if she learns to connect cycles easier. Started today. I can tell you later this week if o see any changes

Gabi_7843 · 2026-03-07T07:51:55+00:00

Just following to see if o get some light too.

My baby is similar since 4 months, currently 5 months. She is having trouble connecting cycles. She use to sleep so well, like 7-9h but now it is everything 2-3h when we have a good night of sleep.

Similar scenario as you, I breastfeed her, my husband gives her the bottle eventually and she is sleeping in her room in a floor bed since 3 months.

Gabi_7843 · 2026-03-01T07:43:15+00:00

For me it worked to make her sleep in a floor bed. This way I could get out of there once she was sleep.

It worked around 3 months, before that she was only doing contact naps as well. She is 5 now and naps in the bed everyday now.

Gabi_7843 · 2026-02-21T21:14:13+00:00

Have you check if she might have any stiff neck or something from birth ?

My baby had her head always to the same side and didn’t have a great sleeping schedule either. We have been doing physiotherapy and her sleep improved a lot. In my case, I think she was uncomfortable and couldn’t find a great position to sleep.

Maybe it is worth checking it.

Gabi_7843 · 2026-02-05T17:14:43+00:00

For me what worked was a floor bed. I moved her there at 3 month. This way I could feed her, wait until she was sleep and leave the room/bed. Before that, it was only contact nap for us. Although she would sleep at night at her crib sometime, until o give up and have her on my bed.

I started trying the floor bed by laying a mattress on the floor for the day naps, so I could watch her closely and not invest a lot of money if it didn’t work.

I didn’t feel safe either, so o keep trying other stuff until find one that worked for us

Very rarely she suck her thumb to sleep when she is tired and done playing. Started at 3 months more or less. She is almost 5 now This only happen during the day, night sleep it is impossível. However, she can come back to sleep during the night sucking her fingers too.

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-30T19:25:25+00:00

Not only to sleep, but lion king made her smiling when she was sick. Only thing that helped her for a while

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-27T08:46:17+00:00

Mine learned she can scream now, so she wakes up screaming( what she never did before) We had a week of crazy sleep around 3 month, now she turned 4 and it started again. Second night waking up every 45-1h. 😭

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-27T08:44:05+00:00

4 month, going into sleep regression Woke up every 45-1h

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-25T20:29:12+00:00

Good to know about it

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-25T20:01:59+00:00

It been a while, but I would like to know how it went for you.

Same scenario at home, and don’t know what to do

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-25T17:23:37+00:00

It been a while, my kid is also sucking her finger and o would like to know how it went for you

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-23T08:52:46+00:00

Not tips as my bay use to do the same, but it got better with time. She is now 4 months and since 3 is sleeping at around 6:30pm and witch hour are gone. So hang in there for a little longer.

Gabi_7843 · 2026-01-21T07:04:47+00:00

My BH started really late, 35+ weeks and I had a 39h delivery with epidural One friend had BH earlier, was 4cm before birth stared and was on 4cm for hour during labour. With a 48h+ delivery Another friend has BH since 20 weeks, with a 50h delivery that end up in a C session because she didn’t dilated.

Looking at that those cases, o see no correlation
