sleep training

Single mom in the same boat 🫣it’s rough out here

@Madison worst part for me is im not a single mum his dad just doesnt help💔

Same here! My baby sometimes wakes up every hour :/ and I can’t take naps during the day

Honestly girl I get it his dad was never around (even if he was right next to me or not) so I just left him! I totally understand that everyone’s situations are different but in my situation if I was going to feel like a single mother I might as well leave and be one. I’m lucky enough to have an amazing support system but they still arnt his parents and it’s definitely hard either way. I remember hating the way it felt when I was with my son’s dad. It made me even more upset asking why he couldn’t help.

Keep him up and active till 10:30/11 my daughter is almost 7 months an sleeps through the night

@Anylah i wish i could he is trying so hard by 7 to keep his eyes open x

Same only let him sleep for 30 minutes wake him up keep him up till about 9 , let him sleep for about 30 , keep him up till about 11/11:30 give him a bottle n he should sleep

I dont know if this could help but I’ve noticed when I take my baby for a walk before her bath she tends to sleep longer stretches. I usually give her a puree before we go for a walk around 5, get back by 6, play for a bit, bath by 7, bottle and asleep by 7:30.

I know it’s tough but it’s completely normal for baby to still be waking like this in the night. The majority of babies wake in the night until 1 or beyond. Unfortunately social media has a lot to answer for in creating the expectation that babies should sleep through. My March baby is still waking every two hours sometimes and other times only waking once or twice but has never slept through. I just continue to respond to her needs and trust she will sleep more when she’s ready. In the meantime can you try and get some early nights and speak to your partner about helping more?

@Lauren he was sleeping through the night every now and thwn but he hasnt done that since he had a cold. i have spoken to him about helping more but he tells me im moaning at him. its very nerly over between me and him.
