Yeah I know things have changed because she used to wake around 5:00ish, eat rather quickly and back to sleep. Now it’s waking at 1:30, eating but not going right back down and just wanting to nurse and hang out on the boob dozing all night. Like if I put her down drowsy but awake it just isn’t happening.

How old is she now? Do we know how long the regression lasts? I don’t know how anyone is putting their baby down drowsy and them just going to sleep. I’m very jealous of that.

I guess I don’t know what drowsy is for a baby. We put R down when she needs to sleep. She’s been yelling for some naps lately, but then falls asleep. When she wakes at night, she’s usually up for about an hour making noise and I have to keep reinserting the pacifier.
I also disagree with the big bedtime routine advice. Ours is diaper change, sleep sack, white noise machine and then pacifier. T’s eventually got a little longer because she has to turn on her stars and night light.

I’ve had a sore throat for a few days. This morning I noticed a pus pocket and called my doctor to get an antibiotic. I’m not sure what it is, but I need it to go away. And, I need the kids to not get it.

She will be 4 months on the 14th. I’m not sure how long the regression lasts, probably varies with different babies personalities. I’m afraid to google lol. Add me to jealous of drowsy babies asleep. Never happened with either of my kids.

bsouls, M will just yell and scream and never ever fall asleep like that. I mean I would let her fuss and not grab her right away but it’s usually full blown crying. Sorry about your throat ugh. Hope the girls don’t get it

Yep no drowsy to sleep here. I either rock to sleep or stand and sing to sleep or feed to sleep. He won't go down on his own but it only takes less then5 minuted to get him down Our bedtime routine is bath ( sometimes), diaper change, swaddle, bottle. He then falls asleep 95% of time.

I feel like a terrible mom. So starting a bedtime routine with a bath because I thought Maria’s problem was sleep regression. She has a painful rash in her armpit caused by my hard cast. It’s dermatitis we just got back from urgent care. 😞 Don’t feel like a bad mom, not your fault. Now wait, why are you in a cast?! Did I miss something? Hope she is feeling better soon

According to the wonder weeks, H leap started this past Saturday and as of today I still have 31 days left!!!! 😳 I don’t remember how bad this leap was for my first, but with this kid it’s not fun. Although I’m sure it does vary by kid, I don’t think the dates are an exact science, atleast I hope not!!

He has been waking up upset, been clingy, and just more irritable. Only good thing is his sleep at night has improved but I'm hoping we don't have 32 more days of this

I legit think dh has add. Like this morning at 7 i said get the garbage out. He says ok. At 730 i say I'm putting j down in the next 20 minutes so get it done. He goes and gets some then stops. At 745 i tell him j is going down in 10 minutes and get it done. Omg he gets so easily distracted! He did finally get it out but not sure how that's going to happen when I'm back to work. I can't take an hour to remind him to take it out then.
In other news j is getting Xmas pictures today. I hope it goes well. He woke up early so of course the time isn't great now but oh well. He will probably sleep in the car.
My parents are visiting tomorrow and bringing some of j Xmas gifts so we won't have to lug them all home from their house on xmas. Plus I don't want to have to open a ton of kid gifts in front of my sil. That would be insensitive

Hope she is feeling better soon I’m in a hard cast for my tendinitis because the regular splint isn’t helping. If this doesn’t work getting shots FWIW m slept in her room a 7 hour stretch now that we have ointment and Tylenol Damn I’m sorry, hope the cast helps. So night 1 in the crib sounds like a success! 🙌

Why is M so effing miserable?! The leap? I mean I guess. I had my pre-op appointment today and MH said she basically screamed the whole time I was gone, had a 3 oz bottle but it made no difference ugh. Stresses me out because I feel like I can’t go anywhere sometimes.

My back / shoulders / arms down to my fingertips freakin hurt. I need a massage. Ugh. N is screaming his head off for bedtime. I seriously don’t know what to do. He cries so much every. Single. Time. We try to put him down, whether it’s for a nap or bedtime. Today we fed, changed diaper, skipped bath since had one yesterday, and started reading books. He is going fucking apeshit. What are we doing wrong. I just want to cry. I’m supposed to go to a mom’s group for dinner so I’m pumping while DH does bedtime but omfg. And dH gets so mad if I try to suggest anything bc “I don’t trust him to do it right.” Well no, actually since this leap started DH hasn’t been able to calm N once, I’ve always had to take over, soooo....... putting N to bed and establishing a routine is more impt than a stupid dinner to me and DH is like stop making excuses 🙄😒

I'm sorry addymac that is stressful. Naps have definitely been harder since this leap started though bedtime has been ok. Is there anything that n likes that you can do before bed? I'm guilty of giving j a bottle at bedtime but it works every time. Do you swaddle n?

Sorry for the awful bedtime addymac. M has been a hot mess this past week as I said earlier. For me I think she is super cranked from being so overtired from not napping. I don’t think your doing anything wrong some babies just frigin hate sleep this young or through this leap or whatever. I hope he is asleep now for you and you could go enjoy dinner. Hugs

It took over two hours to put N to bed... I feel like a failure and I don’t know what to do to help him fall asleep. We tried everything. Walking. Rocking. Feeding. Swaddling. Not swaddling. Laying in the pnp. He jut screamed for almost the entire time. And then fell asleep to wake up as soon as I tried to put him down... three time. He finally stayed asleep. I can’t do this every night. And he refuses to stop crying for DH, he’ll only calm down for me, what the fuck. I go back to work on nights January 2. How is DH going to put him to bed if the kid won’t let him soothe him?? N isn’t the only one who cried a lot tonight...

addymac don't worry about your husband putting n to bed. They will figure it out. DH always gives j a little bit of formula before naps because he can't get him down with just the pacifier. I don't live it but it works for him

I’m attempting naptime in his crib in the nursery. He’s never slept it in, but I need him to get used to it. It’s been 3 attempts so far, and now has been sleeping in there for 5 mins. 🤞🏼
I’m also trying to attempt to not nurse him back to sleep every time he wakes up tonight. But, im not sure how I’ll know he’s actually hungry. Should I just make sure it’s within the 3-6 hour range?
I told MH to make sure he has his ear plugs ready for tonight. 😆
