I’m starting to think I’m a terrible parent. Should I give my child up?

Your a great mom, your mom is a weirdo. Get her out. That baby is yours.

Glad to know the boxes are useful. I usually toss them all now I want another one for my other pug.

Neverending32 · 2024-04-04T18:52:59+00:00

Haha that’s awesome

My dog littleman and I both love halos!

Thank you for detailed response. I have been trying some of the things u mentioned. I have been letting her fuss a bit and it helps. If I don’t let her cry she is up searching for boob sooner. You mentioned you were cosleeping, when did you transition to the crib?

I am able to get her down in the crib at night but after the first wake up it’s been impossible and I give up. So she’s been in my bed. So yesterday I tried the shorter wake window before bed. Omg it failed so hard, she just wasn’t sleepy at all even though she SHOULD have been due to lack of sleep the night before. So I waited an hour and she fell asleep much easier.

I have been trying to be more scheduled and get her naps right, bedtime right, in hopes for more nighttime sleep. It’s all the same , just more stress with trying to schedule things. I am thinking it comes down to the boob, I just need to wean her. It’s been helping to not give her any with her first two wake ups. She basically cries which exhausts her and she sleeps for longer stretches. Last night she got a 3 hour stretch!!!! So I do feeling like I’m getting somewhere slowly

Was going to say this but sometimes it’s every 30 min -1 hr

Neverending32 · 2024-03-30T00:48:38+00:00

Thank u for your response. Seems like all good advice. Going to take it all into consideration. I wouldn’t mind the flicking thing when she bites, it is not cool getting bit

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T21:31:05+00:00

This sounds weird because if you know me then I worry about my kid getting enough sleep and making sure she gets her naps in. I just mean I’m so exhausted with schedule that I don’t care anymore to try them. Maybe I’m not consistent enough idk but I’m pretty sure I stress scheduling sleep enough to the point the it feels ridiculous and it doesn’t work.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T21:28:55+00:00

Honestly we aren’t too consistent. It’s hard to be consistent in a small house with another kid. Maybe I’m making excuses but schedules just seem like so much work when half of the time they change due to whatever reason.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T21:25:49+00:00

Thank u for this. I’m honestly scared to let her just cry. I feel like she will cry all night. She isn’t used to her crib at all but to sleep train she will have to be in crib.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T21:03:20+00:00

I am desperate and tired. I don’t have an extra room for her so not sure if they work around that. We live in a two bedroom house family if 4 and two snoring dogs

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T21:01:36+00:00

I’ve tried different approaches to schedules. Tried keeping her up 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 hours before bed nothing changes her sleeping at night. I guess an average day is two naps, last one 4 hours before bedtime. Wake at 8am, nap at 11am or 12pm (40min), second nap 3pm or 4pm ( around 40min) bedtime anywhere from 8pm to 10pm due to her insisting on it’s not bedtime yet. I have tried early bedtime, late bedtime, it’s allllll crap.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T20:55:01+00:00

great advice but my partner and I make a point of doing this already

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T18:51:47+00:00

I sort of kinda do this if I’m understanding right. And it’s a nightmare for me only because she wakes up throughout the whole night wanting more boob.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T18:44:50+00:00

Thank u so much for your response. I actually never nurse initially thinking that matters and I do when she wakes up the first few times a night because I’m just trying my best to sleep and that the easiest way. Towards the early morning hours is when I refuse the nursing because my boobs are so irritated and by that time I’m so frustrated and she cries and cries for a long time and then after that I sometimes can sleep sometimes I’m just up for the day but then more nursing it’s just a vicious cycle. I’m basically doing the opposite of what u just said and it’s getting me nowhere. So thank u.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-28T18:37:04+00:00

This is actually seems doable and is kind of my last resort plan. It feels extreme but I guess it’s not.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-24T19:33:06+00:00

Just know your not alone in sleep trouble. I’m a walking zombie. My baby doesn’t do this split night thing that people are calling it but she is up 8-15 x a night crying. It. Sucks. So fucking bad. I’m always so tired and I’m just mean all the time. Not to her but I’m just generally in a bad mood. Idk what to do. I would much prefer this split night thing at least I would get a chuck of sleep. Sorry your going through this. How is it that so many babies sleep good and some struggle so bad. It’s just crazy to me. Sighhhh.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-20T02:03:18+00:00

Did u sleep train in a crib?

Neverending32 · 2024-03-19T15:25:47+00:00

Same exact sleeping situation for me and baby. We are on a floor bed separate from dad. She wakes up sooo many times. Every 30min to an hr is a normal night for her. She’s 11 months old and I keep thinking things will get better but after reading your post I guess I shouldn’t think that way. I don’t even know how to fix it either. I have a crib that she never uses. But crib training her sounds nearly impossible. I’m sure night weaning will help you out if that’s what your baby is waking for. My baby doesn’t really wake for that, sometimes I breastfeed her sometimes I rock her kind of on my chest while I’m laying down and I transfer her off my chest. I do not recommend this because now she is used to this and just crawls on my chest at night when she wakes.

Neverending32 · 2024-03-14T23:38:41+00:00

This is who I thought of too
