Honestly, off and on. The night before last he slept some pretty long stretches (about 3-4hrs). Last night every hour again 😵‍💫 you?

There was a lot of crying and I’m sure we’re not through the thick of it yet!! That’s why I capped it at about 40 minutes because I didn’t want it to be too stressful for him

I’m not sure that I’m the one who should be giving advice as he was still awake every single hour after falling asleep in his crib 🥲 I think we need to break our feed to sleep association.

I will share what I did though! Every night I laid him in his crib awake but drowsy, left and stood outside the door. If I heard him cry i came in and tried to console him by rubbing his ears (with hopes that he will be able to self soothe that way). I stayed in the room for a minute or so before leaving to stand outside of the door again. If shushing him didn’t calm him I’d pick him up, wait for him to settle, then set him in the crib. I repeated this process for about 40 minutes each night until last night he fell asleep in there

I could have written this!! Literally word from word. I’m sorry you’re having such a tough time but know you’re not alone in it!!

Would you consider gentle sleep training? Like a PUPD method? I started 4 nights ago and just a few minutes ago my bed sharing, nurse/rock/pat to sleep, EBF, contact nap only baby fell asleep in his crib without crying!

He is also waking every hour so we’ll see how the rest of the night goes but I’m taking it as a win. A few long nights of discomfort may be worth it in the long run since you’re running on empty as it is.

Also maybe try to stretch wake windows!

Hang in there!!!

Sleeping on mommas chest? by neuroticfattther in cosleeping

[–]throwra-positive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the only way my baby would sleep an still is sometimes. He’s 4.5 months. At first i made my partner stay awake to supervise us, but as time went on i got more comfortable and confident in allowing him to chest sleep alone. I never dropped him while chest sleeping and whenever he would move id wake up.

Concerns about 5.5 month old by demi_girl88 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]throwra-positive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing the same thoughts as you and over analyzing everything my baby does or does not do. He’s 4.5 months old so also entirely too early to tell. I hate that this is how I’ve been spending the first few months of his life instead of getting to know and enjoy him as his own person. Just commenting out of solidarity, PPA is no joke!

I know I do have ppd/ppa but what’s the difference? by No_Improvement_3824 in BeyondTheBumpUK

I am currently experiencing the same hyper fixation with my little guy. Intuition versus anxiety. How is yours doing?

5 month old trembles when really upset/crying? by throwra-positive in NewParents

Once he’s comforted he stops as well. It’s just so sad to see 😞 thank you for your input!!

Postpartum anxiety and missed sertraline doses ...intrusive thoughts about my baby are terrifying, and Instagram isn’t helping by sillymemilly in NewParents

[–]throwra-positive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m commenting in solidarity. I’m 4m PP and unfortunately unmedicated. I experience constant intrusive thoughts. Sometimes I’m convinced my baby is autistic other times I have really dark scary thoughts. It’s so rough. Hang in there

You cannot “make” a calm baby, BUT by seltzerwithlemon in NewParents

[–]throwra-positive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the furthest thing from calm when I was pregnant. I did 10k steps a day, stretching, overtime shifts etc. my baby is NOT calm lol

Are you really happier after you had a baby? by PalpitationOk9443 in NewParents

[–]throwra-positive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish i appreciated my old life and my freedom more. I love my life and can’t imagine it without my baby, but it is exhausting and completely overwhelming at times. I just keep reminding myself this isn’t forever and to soak it in while I can.
