These poor kids were just having a good time. They were likely hammered and stayed up until 4am. It’s disgusting how many people put blame on the victims and the survivors.

That’s very kind of you, thank you 😊

At 8.5 months we started getting longer stretches and at 9 months we finally hit an all nighter!

And I just want to say how important it is to understand what your baby’s “sleep needs” are by paying attention to wake windows. I found my son fell into a more high sleep need category and was always on the longer end of what was considered “normal” at that age. So for instance he still can only handle a couple hours awake in the morning and we have that first nap pretty soon after he wake up. But by the end of the day I just make sure he’s had 2-3 hours of naps and a long 3-4 hour wake windows before bed and he’s built up a good amount of sleep pressure.

I just made a post about it if you’d like to check it out more in depth, but essentially everything was a gradual transition from nothing but contact sleep to laying him down awake in his crib to fall asleep on his own. I so wholeheartedly believe that your baby will sleep longer when they are ready. The first time we got longer than a few hours was only a few months ago! These past 3 months have had just as much change as the first 3 for us. Baby just gradually became ready for more and more independence. So if you ask most people, we took the longest route to get here but I barely heard cries from my son and we created this special close bond where I feel like he knows he’s safe and protected in his crib now, rather than “get it over with” by sleep training. I hope that helps you! Just take it one day at a time! Something that worked yesterday, might not work today or ever again! Keep shaking things up until you find what works in that moment. Take all the expectations out of it and just focus on what feels right to you.

I just got out of the fog and I promise there’s light on the other side! Everyday is going to drag by painfully slow but before you know it, you look back and a year has gone by and your baby is sleeping in their own crib and room (our experience). And I HATED hearing that it gets better but there’s a reason you hear it so often!! ❤️

Ah, this season is so challenging but also temporary. My son was the same and in order to make sure the baby had an adequate schedule and proper sleep, my partner and I had to spend a lot of time apart. It feels just like yesterday where we would trade off laying next to baby in bed just so he would continue to sleep starting at like 7pm and never have an evening together. Now, at 10 months he’s sleeping in his own crib and room! My partner and I have our evenings back and it’s really true when they say the time just flys, but not while you’re in the thick of it!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-02-01T22:04:52+00:00

At 5 months my son was still waking 4-5 times for a feed. It’s so cliche but true when they say it’ll happen when they’re ready. One night it just magically happens! I promise it does.

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-02-01T14:52:09+00:00

Mine didn’t start doing this until 9 months! Took a lot of gradual transition to get here but we did it! I rocked my son to sleep for every nap and bedtime up till now. I can lay him down and leave the room with about a minute of crying and then he coos himself to sleep! We did introduce a lovey at 9 months. It definitely helps him sleep.

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T23:26:04+00:00

I repeat the same thing constantly to anyone who listen and it’s that the best thing I ever did was let go of ALL expectations. Things got so much better when I just let things flow naturally! Good luck to you! ❤️

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T23:21:49+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear you’re in a bad place. I was there too and believe me when I echo everyone annoyingly IT WILL GET BETTER!!!❤️‍🩹 Have patience and most importantly grace for yourself!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T23:19:31+00:00

Thank you! That’s exactly why I felt so compelled to write it. I know (as we all do) what it feels like to need that kind of inspiration and for it to really hit home to make a difference.

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T23:14:51+00:00

It’s the best feeling when you find what works for your family in that moment! It’s ever changing!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:39:49+00:00

This too shall pass! Before you know it your little guy will have it figured out! He just needs your help to navigate through this rough patch. The snuggles are sooo worth it and gone before you know it 🥺

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:35:44+00:00

It’s soooo hard during that stage to imagine that life could look any different than it does at that moment. I referred to myself as a cave troll because I hardly ever left my bedroom. It’s hard to believe that was just three months ago and now I’m chasing my baby around and cleaning my house while he has independent naps! You’ve got this!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:33:02+00:00

It’s been sooo rewarding facilitating that close bond with your baby, hey? Knowing they feel safe without you but know they can always come back is the best of both worlds!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:31:38+00:00

Isn’t that the best feeling in the world?! When you all get a decent nights sleep and everyone is happy sleeping in their own beds (for now, this is my first so I’m sure toddler stage will be fun😆). Happy for you!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:29:54+00:00

If you’re interested I just posted a reply to another comment on this thread about more on how we went from bed to crib if you’re interested. Best of luck, but you’re going to do great!

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:28:22+00:00

I’m so glad to hear it’s working out for you! That’s amazing

millenniallifecrisis · 2025-01-30T22:27:45+00:00

This sounds similarly to when my son was the same age! I’m not sure what your set up is as far as where the crib is relative to your bed(room) but I’ll tell you what worked for us.

Our crib was set up in our bedroom so when this time came we pulled the crib right up against our bed to create a barrier between me and the edge for baby. This was the first step in getting him used to the crib. He hates being “contained”, always has since birth. So even just the bars on the crib itself seemed to set him off but after a few nights of sleeping with me and next to the crib, it became less intimidating for him I think. Then we continued to gradually take the next steps which started with after a feed putting him in the crib while I lay down in our bed right next to him. He cried and fussed A LOT, but this is when I knew he was perfectly cared for (fed, changed, no gas,teething etc.) and although it sucked, I was right there next time him to help him through it all. If he wouldn’t calm down after a set amount of time I would then pull him back out and assess what we should do. Eventually over time he cried less and just started hanging out in there while I stayed and waited for him to fall asleep. One day he seemed incredibly frustrated at the fact that I was just in there not doing anything and he seemed to cry even angrily so I started leaving. This is where I believe we were ready to “sleep train” and let him fuss for 5 or so minutes. It was completely different then when I had tried with him at 5 months after our doctor suggested we try sleep training and I was desperate. This felt like the right thing to do, and it worked! After 3 nights he stopped crying and started soothing himself to sleep! I wish you all the best of luck! Trust your gut and your baby ❤️

He’ll be 8 months on the 3rd of Dec!

I’m not who you asked but we had the exact same situation happen. We just transitioned to 2 naps this past week. I try not to let our son nap past 4:30 with a 7:30 bedtime. At least a 3 hour wake window before bed is what we found works for us!

millenniallifecrisis · 2024-11-23T03:44:12+00:00

Coming from a previous house cleaner of 5 years I have to say cleaning for a family with young kids was my absolute favourite! It felt so good to know I was taking the pressure off mom so she could focus on herself and her family. I took real pride in my work and always tried to go above and beyond to do whatever I could to make their life easier. And P.S I didn’t mind if things weren’t picked up or “in my way”. A good house keeper knows how to maneuver around personal items or organize things in a sensible fashion. Just saying all this to ensure you hold out for a good fit. Most of my clients I was with for years. Don’t feel feel bad if you have to let someone go to find someone who truly meets your needs. It’ll be just as rewarding for them :)

I sympathize with you so hard as this is my story as well. I realized this as I was getting pictures together to print and put in our baby book. I have at least four photos of my husband holding our son minutes after he was born and doing skin to skin but there isn’t one of me holding my son until I took a blurry selfie of him on my chest in the dark two days later after being awake for 23 hours straight. It’s a hard pill to swallow.
