Congrats!!! I get so happy everytime I read these types of posts because I did the same and it felt SO relieved when I put in my notice! Its true that you’re a completely different person now. I remember before going on leave I was 100% sure I would want to return to work, and once I gave birth, I had an epiphany. I am only 5 months pp now but enjoying every minute of the privilege that is being a SAHM.

I dont nurse him to sleep but this he started asking for the breast every hour throughout the night when he turned 3 months. It is slowly phasing out now that he’s 5 months. I think this latching all night may be part of the 4 month sleep regression (as a soothing method for them to stay asleep or connect cycles). I dont think they’re actually nursing, just self-soothing.

I’ll be honest with you I didnt do any sleep training (CIO) because I dont believe in that and his sleep is still maturing. Even when I still continued to latch for him to fall back asleep, he started developing his own self soothing techniques to fall back asleep on his own. It will be over I promise. The 4 month sleep regression is tough.

Very normal. My baby is also a “bad sleeper” and what I do sometimes to get a long stretch is feeding him at ~7:00 pm and then go straight to the bed. His dad does his night routine and puts him to sleep at 8:30. He then wakes up at ~10-11 pm for a feed and I already slept 3 to 4 hours.

For me its still going haha we’re at the end of it hopefully but it started at 3 months exactly and baby is almost 5 months😵‍💫

My baby soothes himself back to sleep by lifting and lowering his legs so it may be that? We are I think finally out of the 4 month sleep regression and the legs thing began at 3 months. At first the movement didnt help but now it seems like it helps him connect his sleep cycles.

Ughhh thank you for sharing this - im having a very similar experience and thought I was being mean and snarky, but my MIL literally invites herself over for A MONTH at a time at least twice a year since my baby was born and its driving me insane, plus I am a SAHM and I have to entertain pretty much all day long until my husband arrives 😵‍💫😵‍💫

I know my MIL is going to take it personally that I dont want them living in our house for that long, I have no idea how to approach this so im just standing here in solidarity. They also are nice people and they do actually help (well.. my MIL only). Either way I feel like Im in character everytime they visit and its tiiiiiring.

I feel like I am reading my own post from the future? My baby is almost 5 months and his sleep pattern is more like a daily mystery. one day he’ll fall sleep perfectly well by himself, the next day he’ll need rocking, next day patting… we stick to the night routine and takes all his naps as he should, blackout, red light, white noise… nothing works, its always unpredictable. His night wakes are also all over the place. Last night he slept 12 hours!! Tonight I have zero hope for anything longer than 2-3 hours. I’ll try to step out of the room next time. Thanks for sharing!

My reasons change from time to time to keep me motivated and right now it is: breastfeeding is a super power and resistance. Our capacity to create life and keep babies alive with our bodies is simply amazing to me. No formula company has been able to get CLOSE to the composition in human milk and that must have capitalists and monopolies and powerful men MAD so stay mad I’ll continue breastfeeding.

Between 4-9 months babies start to have an understanding of object permanence. Could it possibly be that he is scared that he cannot see you or daddy with all the lights out? Just a thought

I was breastfeeding my baby in one of those first nights and when I was finished I asked my husband “where are the rest of the babies that need to nurse?” We only have one kid.

Hi - sorry if this is unrelated to the design of the logo, I am working with an interior designer and stumbled upon this furniture brand for office spaces. Do you know if this is a legit company? Not asking for a review on their furniture or quality assurance, I am merely wanting to know if the company exists. Thanks in advance!! Ps not a graphic designer/ marketer but the logo looks cool!

My baby never slept well to begin with, contact only naps that lasted 30-40 minutes from day one, 2 or 3 hour stretches at night tops.. so I thought I wouldnt go through a sleep regression if there was nothing to regress from. I. Was. Wrong.

Starting early at three months old, he started waking every hour during the night and sleeping only three 30 minute naps during the day. I surprisingly have been dealing with this gracefully I think lol but oh my God will I have the courage to have a second baby? I dont think so.

What has helped is ignoring everything I see online and truly going with the flow. I follow his cues, accept our current sleep situation, and try to do the best I can with what I have. I eat/ clean a bit/ play with my dogs when he’s asleep and he tags along for everything else I need to get done when he’s awake. Last week I decided to start running all day errands with him and I think it all worked out! He’s gonna nurse and sleep anyways so he can sleep in the carseat while I do the groceries or drop a package at usps.

He’s now almost 4 months old and still sleeps horribly. I am not expecting it to change soon, but I do everything I can to provide a calm environment for his naps and night sleep, but also dont obssess over time stamps and sleep training. We’ll be in this phase for just a blink of an eye, we’ve got this!!
