Attachment Deleted Me: I'm just over 2 feet tall and weigh about 14 1/2 pounds. I have crazy blonde hair and big, melt your heart blue eyes. I like napping in 20 minute increments and sucking on my hands. I simultaneously hate yet can't sleep without my swaddle. I wake up multiple times per night but will smile at you at 4:00 in the morning.
You: Must be a producer of breast milk with copious amounts of patience and require little sleep to function.
Will consider a trade for a slightly older baby who sleeps in at least 4 hour stretches. Those currently teething need not apply.

I know you are struggling and doing it all alone but 3 months is when we really started to round a corner. Months 4,5 and 6 have each been better than the last! Hang in there!
Wish I could borrow him too! I miss teeny baby snuggles, but can definitely appreciate how hard it is. Hang in there mama. You will sleep again someday.

But if he doesn't round that corner until 4 or 5 months, that's completely normal too. No one told me that and I kept waiting for the magic that wasn't coming quite yet. It will happen eventually. Hug.

I have one the same age and he sleeps in 4-6 hour stretches but, the longer the stretch at night the more I nurse during the day- he pretty much nurses every hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. I'm waiting for it to even out a little too.
you are just a bit far for me. I am off work on Tuesday and was trying to figure how I could swing it. But with traffic and commuting, I would likely be there for an hour. not that helpful. Also, now, I think L has a yeast infection so likely spending my day off at the doctor.
I can send you my Mom. She used to babysit kids and worked in daycares and way back in the day, she was a nursery nurse in the hospital.
although, now that she is retired, she is very busy. and she is kind of chatty. She might not let you sleep.
Thanks for thinking of us. That's really sweet! We will be in the city in September for neurology follow up so we should meet for lunch or coffee or something.

He is adorable. I'm so sorry you are having a tough time. I bet all the ladies on this board would be there to help you in a second if we could. Super cliche and kinda annoying but remember: this too shall pass.
