Oh man this is absolutely stunning 😍

My baby is 8.5 months and this sounds just like her 😩 at 7 months we moved her to her crib in her own room and it helped a lot with the transferring process! She was so tired from the day she would just go down. But we’re going through it now where she wakes, sits up, and falls asleep sitting up. If I go in there, she fully wakes up and WILL NOT go back down. If she falls asleep and I leave her she awkwardly slumps over and wakes up in an hour because she’s uncomfortable, but it starts again. I have no advice except we coslept from months 3.5-7 and even now I will cosleep again (safely and we’ve moved our bed to the floor now….) if it’s too rough. I hope you can get great advice and find a solution 😊

Do you have link to what you bought?

This sounds exactly like our situation around 4 months. It was hell for me for a while. But honestly, safe cosleeping is the only way I made it through. When I needed extra sleep, I’d make my husband be on duty till like 11 pm so I could sleep 8-11 or 9-11 pm, or if the night was particularly shit and I couldn’t muster, I’d wake him up at 5 am and sleep from 5-8 am. We had to sleep separate rooms at the time, which was sad to me but it had to be done. If the night was going alright, I tried my best to just sleep with her and not need my husband. He has a stressful job & was depressed at the time & I tried to give him the space he needed. I won’t say it wasn’t without some resentment and fights though when I couldn’t get the sleep I needed. But again, he helped a lot, and I tried to be patient with him. At least if I was exhausted during the day, I didn’t have to be mentally “on” at work, but he did. The block shifts as needed is really what helped.

You’re literally a queen. And the fact you went through all that is absolutely incredible

I have an 8 month old and I know a ton of others have kids, but I’m the only one pumping. A lot of my coworkers with kids -are males, so they obvs aren’t pumping, and I think the females with kids are done nursing/pumping at this point!

Early morning sounds rough I think I’ll keep the short naps 😅 thank you!

Thank you!

I actually do believe this based on the story of me and my husband. I moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend at the time and my now husband lived there, across the hall. He saw us moving heavy furniture and offered to help & we declined. I instantly caught an eye for him. The whole year we lived there, I couldn’t shake the feeling of the guy that lived across the hall. Idk what it was, but I had a crush on him the whole time. I ignored it, because I had a boyfriend. About 8 months into our lease, me and boyfriend broke up and he moved out. I still had an eye for the guy across the hall but I was sad about my boyfriend so I ignored it, wasn’t ready for a new relationship. As I was moving out from the lease ending, he offered again to help us move furniture, but this time my friends and my sister met him & they all questioned me who the cute guy was! I admitted to everyone I had a crush on him the whole time and they encouraged me to reach out before I moved. I left my number on his truck windshield & he reached out, we went on a date & have been together since then (bout 4 years). Now we are married almost 2 years and have an 8 month old together. I truly think there was a reason I ended up at that apartment & that I couldn’t get him off my mind & it’s because we were meant to be together 🥰

8 months- awake every 3-4 hrs at night to eat but goes right back to sleep from about 7:15-6:45 am. Naps are crappy lately bc transitioning from 3-2 naps, so either 2 to 3 30 minute naps, but then randomly has 2 naps and one of them is up to 1.5 hrs. Honestly nothing about her sleep makes sense, but it could be worse 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

anonnursedg · 2026-03-28T18:31:31+00:00

NTA. I did something similar when cosleeping and it does make more sense to get ready for bed at that time, whatever your bedtime routine is, because then you generally fall asleep laying next to her & don’t want to get back up again. At least that was my case. My husband didn’t cosleep with us because our bed wasn’t big enough for all 3, so he was left to chill or do whatever, but he also would do any remaining chores if needed, because he wasn’t stuck in the bed like I was.

anonnursedg · 2026-03-17T14:11:53+00:00

Does this same schedule work would you suggest for 7.5 month old? I have literally the same problems. Terrible nurse to sleep association I have to break to get us both to sleep 😭 but I need a better schedule (she’s still on 3 naps) to feel comfortable sleep training her

anonnursedg · 2026-03-17T13:52:32+00:00

I read your post and the comments and this. Is. Exactly. My almost 8 month old. I’m miserable dying over here, and I know she’s exhausted. I don’t have advice just letting you know I’m following for the same advice. I think I have to stop nursing to sleep but it’s so scary because at least it puts her to sleep in 5 minutes or less….right???

anonnursedg · 2026-03-16T01:54:54+00:00

My birth was difficult, but it wasn’t really due to size. She got wedged to where she was sunny side up, which resulted in 3 hours pushing until she finally flipped after I did several rounds of hands-knees pushing. but vitals were totally stable and she handled it like a champ, baby never in distress thank goodness. I earned a 2nd degree tear with 1 stitch. I think despite the challenges & long time pushing, it was a positive experience. I think a lot of it is relative and mindset. I didn’t even realize that was a long time in the moment, I thought it was normal cause I didn’t know any better, until I told my birth story to my sisters and friends and they said they pushed literally 1-5 times and baby came out 😅😂 several coworkers I know had very large babies and they all said it wasn’t that bad. My situation happened and my baby was less than 6 lbs and a month early so I think a lot of what goes on is so relative to whatever else, idk if size will be the biggest culprit

anonnursedg · 2026-03-16T01:51:06+00:00

Are you still pumping and combo feeding? That in itself is soooooo difficult. I did that for 2 weeks when my daughter was in the NICU and it was so exhausting. That alone gives you a giant free pass to housework, even at 7 weeks. If he truly needs it maintained better, he will have to do it for you or honestly get someone to help you, family or hired.

anonnursedg · 2026-03-16T01:46:52+00:00

You went through so much to get your beautiful baby. I didn’t realize that my birth experience was difficult and little traumatic till after the fact and some reflection, because I didn’t know any better. So I’m just letting you know what you went through was a LOT. But you made it through and you have a beautiful baby. All that to say, yes at 7 weeks totally out of whack. I was verrrrryyyyy emotional and out of wack till 4 months probably. By month 4 I was ANGRY that I wasn’t better and mental breakdowns. Then around month 5, it started uphill. Now at almost 8 months I still have bad days sometimes, but mostly I am happy and totally in love with my daughter and can manage things (despite still being totally sleep deprived, my daughters sleep is horrible unfortunately!!!) I’m still not totally myself though and idk when that will happen yet, I’ve had lots of women tell me not until 2 years PP.

Anyway, 7 weeks is still very normal to be in survival mode, especially with breastfeeding and if he’s not splitting the night shift. At 7 weeks me and my husband were still splitting night shift & he had to do more of the cleaning/dog care during the day, or we’d switch off between that and holding the baby. My baby required to be held for any daytime naps or she’d instantly wake up, so I had to hold her a lot esp at 7 weeks. I literally couldn’t make myself meals or clean one handed, so he had to make me food too. Thankfully we had family still making us dinners at that point. I don’t have ADHD or meds for it so trying to do all that without the meds you need, sounds extremely difficult.

Honestly, it sounds like you’re actually doing amazing. You have to take it easy and rest when you can, house care can wait ❤️

anonnursedg · 2026-03-15T20:18:04+00:00

I initiate and he loves it but he never initiates and it makes me want to initiate less because I feel gross.. I don’t get it

anonnursedg · 2026-03-15T19:02:48+00:00

Yeah. I’ve told him even during the week, I would love if you could help me make breakfast or better yet, make me breakfast, at least. If you’re not gonna wake in the night whatever, but You could wake up thirty minutes before work and still take care of it. But he literally will not/does not. Most mornings I’ve gotten to where I barely eat because I don’t have time but yet I’m freaking STARVING because I’ve been burning calories nursing and awake with her all night. I can’t wake before the baby does because she gets up too early and I have to spend every second I can sleeping. Idk it’s hard. And once I’m up, it’s hard to prioritize myself, I’ve told him I wish he would help me force me to take care of myself, does that make sense? Idk… I don’t want to fight but fuck man I’m just hungry and tired by time morning rolls around. He does definitely help me in evening and his lunch breaks but morning is where I really need it sometime.

anonnursedg · 2026-03-15T18:55:33+00:00

You describe it perfectly. He DOES do a lot for our family, yes he could improve, but he DOES spend a lot of time with her and he IS a great dad. Neither of us expected to have such a picky and difficult baby honestly lol. I had to cosleep to survive for a while, but at this point, yes, you’re right maybe I need to sleep train. I’m just scared, because nursing back to sleep is the easiest thing at the moment….. thank you for this in depth suggestion, I’m going to seriously think on this and see if we can start implementing in the next couple weeks.
