Surviving

Have you tried the ferber method? X

I know it’s hard, but just keep remembering that they’re not this little for long and you’ll forget all about this in a few months time. Try some exercise or long walks with baby. The fresh air and exercise will be so beneficial for your mental health. Don’t do cry it out or anything similar, it just teaches your baby that nobody will come when they cry and that’s why they eventually stop 💔 Our little girl was really hard work but now sleeps in her own bed alone for 3/4 of the night because we stay with her until she falls asleep then pop away. If you need any help let me know as I’ve been there 🩷

I felt like this with my first baby, it was a real struggle, but I refused to sleep train. You’re not making a rod for your own back, you’re doing an amazing thing responding to your baby every time 🧡 it is exhausting though. As they get older they tend to sleep longer stretches. My eldest still doesn’t sleep through the night, it’s just her temperament and I can’t change that, we’ve just learned to support her how she needs. I recommend following accounts like @heysleepybaby, @secondstartotheright_sleep and @littlenestsleep on instagram, there’s a whole community of us like you, and they have lots of tips to help improve sleep without sleep training x

@Chloe it’s something I would like to avoid I’m not keen on the idea of allowing my baby to cry it out x

@Steffie couldn’t agree more I will not be teaching my baby that I won’t be there when she needs me I would rather be drained then her feel that way! Appreciate this Thankyou so much❤️
