Yeah I rocked mine for an hour straight once, for his little eyes to pop back open as soon as his head hit the mattress...

That sounds rough!
At least if mine resists, there is only one...

I got to sleep at a decent time last night! Only to have baby:

- wake/self settle at 2 am
- wake/need settled at 4 am
- wake/self settle at 6 am
- wake for a bottle at 7 am

My little guy has slept pretty much 9 30 pm to 7 am since 3 months. So that was hard...

#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood

New tasks:

- wash sheets
- break down bedside bassinet
- break down big boxes
- take to recycling & hope they fit
- decorate corner above crib
- get string lights
- find polaroids with family
- find tiny clothes pins
- ect

And each of those will spawn a new list...

2/2

I'm so bad at this! Because I know her, she ain't gonna do nothing if I miss this deadline...

...currently I read in the dark next to my little one with no place to set a drink.

So no liquid while reading for now!

It might be the whole 4 month regression? I think we're on the tail end of it...

Mine is now self settling, not every time but some of the time. And he's lengthening his wake windows but not his naps. Still rock him, but it's getting less and less.

Oh I tried!

Because when he wakes at 5 am, he can settle back to sleep but not that first one.

I've been using it as an excuse to read for an hour next to him in bed. This week he didn't wake up every night. So I think he's working on it...

The lack of conservative sleep is a killer!

And yeah, since the regression hit I've been putting him down at night but staying in bed next to him reading. Within 45 to 60 mins he typically wakes up and needs a snuggle, then back to bed until morning.

That started with the regression...

We've started making sure he got a full bottle of 6 oz right before bed, and that helped so much with him sleeping through the night...

I also give my void punitive cuddles...he is both big mad and loving every minute

I mean he can...

Just run for office.

Mine was slowly going to sleep at 9 instead of 10 (we're a second shift household) and when he did he woke earlier each time.

He's kind of consistent now with 9/10 to 7/8? It's weird right now with the regression and all...

He's 4.5 months! Be 20 weeks on Saturday!

He use to wake at 3/5. Went to waking only at 7. And it's back to a 5 am wake up. But he self settles at that wake up now instead of needing a bottle.

I just remember at 2 months I was doing night time feed thoughts. And now he doesn't need those feeds...
