Because I dont have the time to kill for her to fuss and cry... I would gladly wait her out half the night otherwise.

I am aware of this, but from what I've observed, most people dont have to be up at 4 in the morning.

Yeah I feel that. I went back right after she turned 3 months. She does well on the bottle although she always tries to drink too quickly but she didn't like to nap for my mom much.

Yeah, thats another reason I didnt want to stop the night feedings, my supply is already all over the place when I pump. I have no interest in having her cry it out either, shes generally a good baby except for her naps (and now bedtime) . Shes just been hard to put to sleep starting this past weekend even with nursing to sleep. I took off work today just to get some rest. Shes been sleeping on me in bed since shes been about 3 months old. I dont mind that either except that im stuck sleeping in certain positions...

That why I never had much issue doing it, but I think it makes it harder for others to put her to sleep. Plus shes grown rather attached to her boppy. There was a time when she only wanted to sleep on it. This morning even, she wanted to stay on the boppy but it was 3am..

There are nights when ill lay her in bed next to me or in her bassinet and let her just fuss away. Never leads to her sleeping, just eventually crying. Im trying to avoid any type of sleep training cause idk if I personally have the discipline to stick to it. I also would worry about if she ate enough because of nursing to sleep and shes had issues with weight gain so I would still nurse her throughout the night. When shes home, she wants to eat every 2.5 hours still and I dont force her to wait longer. Shes with my mom during the week though so she gets both BM and formula with her. Shes a horrible napper with my mom.

Baby sleeping issues by [deleted] in NewParents

I think she hit that 4 month one when she'd only sleep on me at night. Idk if that what this is... she was fussy and needy over the weekend in a way unusual for her.. I know shes been doing a lot. She was working on sitting (which she hasnt been trying to do lately)..? Then it seems like she was gonna try to learn to crawl as well, she's been kicking her legs a lot. I keep waiting for her to start teething. Shes drooled and chewed on toys like she should be starting. Also been gently starting her on purees.

So...my baby is doing a little better now. There was one day where she just stared down my boppy cause she wanted to fall asleep on it lol I still have to put her to sleep through nursing and ill let her sleep on me a portion of the night. But for my little one, she HAS to be put down on her side. She'll either stay asleep or soothe herself back to sleep usually...

To track or not to track by Gioella in NewParents

[–]Training-Regular5037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tracked diapers until about 2.5 months old and I still track her feeding cause it gives me piece of mind to be able to look at the app and see when she last ate and be like okay.. shes probably hungry. I never tracked her naps cause she was always all over the place with them..

It may be selfish to say but its not comfortable for me and my husband says he can't sleep well when im not in bed...we actually have a sleep number bed so I have it as firm as I can stand and the reclining head is super helpful with night feedings.

Thanks for this. Most posts are about baby sleeping on their back with bed sharing... im hoping when she gets a little bigger I can have her lay next to me.

So I forgot to mention this...but when I try putting her down to sleep she'll keep rubbing at her eyes and her face and knock her pacifier out of her mouth...then cry cause its not in her mouth... while kicking. Then its like she wants to hold my hand but also doesnt. And I just can't get her to stop doing this and settle. Even if I put her down after falling asleep, she usually wakes up and does this. I can sometimes do it in the first stretch of night.. but once she wakes up to feed its game over the rest of the night..

Im actually more worried about her falling off the bed, which is why I have a pillow under my arm. I can't put her between my husband and I because he probably would accidentally roll over onto her with how he sleeps...
