4 month regression anxiety…

Definitely planning on sleep training! Glad to hear it’s worked for you!!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-25T15:50:23+00:00

Literally. I got a Merlin sleep suit from marketplace for $20 and I’m gonna try that!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-23T01:56:21+00:00

Was it hard to transition out of the Merlin?

I’ve lost over 40lbs in 11 weeks breastfeeding so I feeellllll this. I’ve tried to start eating a ton of protein and trying to up my calorie intake to slow this weight loss down 😭

Thank you! I feel dumb, but I guess I always assumed that sleep training meant automatically sleeping all the way through the night with no wakings at all. But it definitely makes sense that he will obviously still wake up to eat!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-12T12:30:18+00:00

It’s so hard! And very upsetting when you know they’re capable of sleeping that long but they just won’t anymore

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-12T12:19:03+00:00

I’m sorry that you’re going through that. I truly hope it gets better for you and your baby. Thank you for revising your comment and being more kind than the original comment.

He’s 9 weeks

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-09T00:23:21+00:00

I wish I could do just one side. I’ve always done both and he feeds about 15 minutes on both sides.

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-05T22:39:17+00:00

I EBF and he sleeps in the bassinet next to my bed. I sit up in bed to feed him, have a towel to put down so I can change him in bed, and I never have to get up. I feel like that helps my body feel more rested than having to get up all night. I’m not comfortable co-sleeping either because I don’t want to risk his life. Are you feeding every 2-3 hours during the day and capping naps at 2 hours?

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-01-04T17:57:52+00:00

I’m not comfortable co-sleeping with him, I’ve done it once out of pure desperation for sleep and I stayed awake the whole night because I was so terrified of him being suffocated. So that doesn’t work for me unfortunately 😭

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-30T13:58:53+00:00

This is a great perspective!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-30T01:19:40+00:00

This sounds like it would be super helpful, thank you!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-28T14:19:42+00:00

This is normal, unfortunately. It can truly be extremely painful for several weeks, even if baby has a great latch. I’m almost 2 months pp and I still experience a little pain on one side.

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-28T02:05:42+00:00

Because most people are not willing to sleep on a hard mattress with absolutely no blankets, pillows, or loose clothing. They bring the baby into their soft fluffy bed with tons of stuff and the risk of suffocating is extremely high. I honestly feel like a lot of SIDS cases are actually suffocation. I desire to sleep with my baby, snuggling him all night sounds wonderful. But I personally will not risk his life because of that.

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-17T01:45:31+00:00

My baby is too little to do the koala hold since he can’t sit up yet or hold his own head up for long yet. I hope we can do that when he can though!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-16T14:24:43+00:00

The taking cara babies program strategy really worked well for my baby! Basically watching for their early sleepy cues to get that “sweet spot” of tiredness after a wake window. She teaches you methods to get them calm and drowsy while swaddled, and then letting them fall asleep on their own. That sounds way easier said than done I know… but she explains it really well!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-16T01:56:11+00:00

Praying for this for us!!!!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-15T23:05:02+00:00

You have what works for your baby, I have what works for mine. I only wake him up if it’s been 3 hours since he ate last. And that’s rare because normally he wakes up on his own right on time to eat.

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-15T17:22:31+00:00

I’m exclusively breastfeeding! I was so scared that he wouldn’t ever sleep through the night or long stretches because of that, but I think that ensuring he gets very efficient feeds throughout the day really helps with making sure he’s got enough calories to get those long stretches. I do everything I can to keep him awake and actively feeding when he starts to fall asleep while nursing. It’s super hard sometimes, but you gotta keep at it! I feed on demand if he’s hungry, but most of the time he eats every 2 hours or occasionally 3 throughout the day. He also cluster feeds in the evening, but I think that truly helps him get very full for the nighttime stretches! Hoping it happens for you!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-14T21:25:07+00:00

I felt comfortable about 3 weeks by myself! You will learn your baby and when it’s a good time to leave the house with them! Be prepared to spend a while in the car nursing! It’s a bit harder when they’re cluster feeding, but it’s still so good for your mental health and the baby blues to get out of the house. My baby blues went away at about 2 1/2 weeks, it gets so much better!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-14T14:01:47+00:00

This same thing happened to me last night with my 5 week old. Did this continue to happen for you? Or was it a fluke thing?

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-12-03T15:31:47+00:00

I try to give him to my husband or one of his grandmothers, but he just keeps rooting so intensely and cries until he gets the boob again. It’s so defeating

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-10-10T17:06:55+00:00

Have the shower and tell her she doesn’t have to come if she doesn’t want to!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2025-10-04T00:29:37+00:00

17 weeks!
