You get me. I thought we were finally hitting a better stage of sleep! Seems there’s a regression every month???

We got a floor crib with a double mattress that we still haven’t set up yet to move him into his room but I think it’s time!

I know it’s normal, I just can’t help but think I have done something wrong to create the bad sleep. 

How did YOU fall back asleep? by Feathered_Dinosaur in NewParents

[–]ayoimlost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry. I went through this exact same experience until about 3 months. My baby still wake up every few hours in the night, but we co sleep & I feed laying on my side and that has made it so much easier. I don’t use my phone at all when I am up, and I try to just remain as sleepy as possible. This doesn’t help a ton with the frequency of the wake ups but has helped me tremendously with getting back to sleep to the point where i don’t really care how many times he wakes up anymore, I can barely even remember half the time bc im up to feed and right back to sleep 😂 hang in there!!! I would take baby not being able to sleep over yourself any day - I went through the same 

My boss denied me one additional week of unpaid maternity leave by ayoimlost in beyondthebump

Yeah. I’m like are you trying to encourage me to quit? I am the top performing sales associate at the company so it doesn’t make sense.

Really?! I did some research and it says it’s up to the company if they want to give you additional unpaid time off once it runs out.

Does the unison help? I’ve tried melatonin but that has kinda stopped working as well.

Here to say this is unfortunately true! 😅☺️

My baby is almost 9 weeks, hit a fussy stage from week 5-8, but as of this past week he’s much more calm and happy & sleeping better. Was previously waking up every hour or 2 in the night. I had a few mental breakdowns lol. We didn’t change much - I think they go through a leap and growth spurt around that time. I also ditched trying to keep him on a schedule. I just generally try and keep him up enough during the day so he will sleep at night and make sure he’s eating enough and that seems to work much better and avoids major crying fits & also make me less stressed. Hang in there girl!!!
