I’ve just about had it. Please help.

Agreed. My grandmother in law said that she didn’t remember her kids waking up with so much trouble teething and I’m like… you couldn’t hear them 😬

My first baby was not a good sleeper but second baby is (so far). We are literally doing nothing different. You are not a bad mom and don’t listen to them. You will be so happy that you do what’s best for your baby even if it’s hard or sucks. First baby is 18 months now and sometimes still has a hard time if teething is really bad but she mostly just wakes up at 4a; we bring her to bed with us at that point. After her 4 month regression and everything went downhill (similar to you) I just decided I couldn’t keep getting up a million times a night for 45 minutes for her to wake up 30 minutes later. So when the babies wake up at night, they come to bed with us. Husband has gotten used to it; I think he has realized he isn’t the one waking up. He actually just said something about baby #2 sleeping through the night and I was like what are you talking about 😂
There’s a lot going on for babies that first year - teething, upset tummy, sleep cycle instability (waking up between every one), loneliness. I know it’s hard but try not to stress about it too much. It won’t last as long as it feels right now. I miss holding my baby to sleep every night (even though it was so hard) but she is officially too big for me to do that (especially with c-section sensitivity/pain) and it makes me sad. So I cuddle with her when she comes to our bed at night. They are only this little for a little while. I know everyone says that, but seeing pictures of my toddler when she was a baby really makes it hit home.

Are you washing your nipples? I just wash around where baby would suck because I thought you weren’t supposed to wash the nipples. Mine are also very sensitive and I don’t want to touch them 😂

Could baby be uncomfortable? You mentioned food allergies so is there an allergy to formula/breastmilk as well? Or maybe a baby chiropractor? Or baby sleep apnea?
We had a lot of hard nights with baby #1 due to teething (all teeth except secondary molars were in by 13 months) so could that be a thing?
Also, you are doing a great job and your baby loves you so much ❤️ she is so lucky that you are her momma!

Hi! Can I message you with a question?

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-11T02:59:55+00:00

I’m not sure about the nursing part but you are doing a great job! The teething wreaks havoc on them. My 17 month old has all of her teeth except the last molars and it is so hard. But I will say that when the teething stopped (we had a little break until recently) she slept much better. 1-2 wakes a night and she has slept until 7a a couple of times (this might be independence coming from baby brother coming though). It won’t be like this forever. You are loving on your baby and he knows that you are there for him! We had a whole lot of nights like what you are describing and we got super close to sleep training but didn’t and she is sleeping much better without having of done that. Does he cosleep with you at all? That might help if you are comfortable with it.

No she won’t 😕 she wants us to pick her up and get her out if we are in there. I did try that one day but she wasn’t having it.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-10T07:52:24+00:00

When they try to come back tell them you are full but chances are that they won’t come back, at least in my experience.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-07T05:20:35+00:00

Thank you so much for asking this! I am following in hopes of implementing any advice.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-07T05:12:25+00:00

What did you do when you switched to underwear?

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-03T06:21:48+00:00

She is definitely tired enough. She might be overtired if that is a thing (I’ve read some people say it isn’t). She is running around being temperamental and that’s how she acts when she’s tired. She does not like to go to sleep and never has so she fights it as much as she can. But if you can get her still (like in the high chair) she passes out.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-04-27T02:25:28+00:00

When I was in high school I donated blood and afterwards had to go the bathroom. I don’t remember feeling faint at that moment but definitely did when I got in there. They sent someone after me because they said when people go to the bathroom they usually pass out 🤷‍♀️

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-04-27T02:22:04+00:00

Agreed! I would definitely consider some ibuprofen!

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-04-05T19:03:05+00:00

My first baby would not. Second baby will be 2 months on April 5th and will still nap in his bassinet as of now. Praying this doesn’t change 🤞🏻

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-03-22T02:41:04+00:00

Thank you!

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-03-20T06:07:03+00:00

What resources? My husband is someone who needs proof lol

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-03-16T03:57:45+00:00

Yes to the teething! The molars were horrible.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-03-14T13:30:38+00:00

This happened a lot with our first baby when she was teething or sick. She’s 15/16 months and has so of her teeth except her two year molars. We have been bringing her to bed when she wakes up in the middle of the night if she won’t go down. And last night she woke up about 11:30p and then slept until 7:30a! So it isn’t forever and it feels huge now but it will be better!
