July Moms

Still have hard days with having two kids. Leaving the house alone is stressful.

How do you get your 8 week old to sleep through the night?? Mine still wakes 2x per night. Once at 12am and again at 4am. I have to go back to work soon so I need to get her sleeping better

@Mikaela I have her and my 2 year old on a schedule she wakes up at 6am in the morning

For the most part I get a lil more rest than what I use to get

Yeah I think I'll try getting her on a better schedule. Glad that everything has gotten a bit easier for you 💗

@Mikaela I feel you on that. Mine is also 8 weeks and wakes up all the time at night and I have 5 days left on leave and would love for him to sleep through the night.

@Desiree' it's so rough! I'm thinking of going to bed earlier to get extra sleep

@Mikaela me too lol. My 8 week old still is waking twice in the night. There was one day where he slept almost the entire night and I was like HuH😂

@Ariel i can't wait to have a night like that lol. Glad to know I'm not alone in this 🤣

@Mikaela yup, but I hardly slept waiting for him to wake up😅

@Mikaela I’m wondering the same thing! I have a nighttime routine and try so hard to get my son on a schedule but after he got his 2 month vaccinations his sleep schedule got disrupted. He’s almost 11 weeks old and I still haven’t gotten him on a set schedule yet :/ I’m a first time mom and going back to work next week.

@Adisa that's so hard! I feel like all babies are so different and what works for one just won't work for another. I think I might try diffusing lavender essential oil at night to try to calm my baby down before bed. Do you use a sound machine?

That’s a good idea! I used a diffuser when I gave birth but didn’t think to keep using it. Yeah he likes the sound of rain :) the problem is he won’t stay asleep :/ I’ll keep trying, thank you for the suggestion
