I hope sleep training goes well for you. Hopefully she catches on quickly to falling asleep on her own.
C is doing ok tonight, I haven't really kept track. I have been feeling exhausted the past few nights and have been struggling to stay awake. I've dozed off no less than s dozen times while trying to type this .
A has decided he prefers to sleep in my bed with a boob in his mouth for most of the night. He also used to sleep from 8ish - at least 1 or 2, the past few weeks that time has been getting earlier and earlier. Last night he was up at 10:10, took me until just before 11 to get him back down and he was up again at 1:30. We slept in the chair until 3 and then I put him in bed with us.
I hope this is the 4 month wakeful screwing with us and he starts stretching out soon. I'm not ready to sleep train yet so I'd just like him to figure it out on his own!

I rarely even look at my phone at night anymore, I can't focus my eyes to read most night so there's not much point.
C has been crazy the past few days. Up every hour to hour and a half. So exhausting. We are going to sleep train this weekend/next week. She can't put herself to sleep and it's killing me. It takes me 2 hours to get her down for bed. She's been waking, nursing for a minute tops and going back to sleep, so she's definitely not hungry. Just using me to get her back to sleep. Ugh. Why can't babies just sleep?!
We were watching Outlander yesterday and a character said something about sleeping so well, like a newborn. H and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. Lol.
I hope everyone else is sleeping.
spaghetticat are you still in the 4mw too, or are things better for you?
I hope sleep training go nice and easy for you! I couldn't bring myself to do it until Daniel was 8.5 months old, if we do it for A it was probably be a little sooner just because D was standing by that point and I feel like it would have been easier when he was less mobile. I really just just want him to figure it out on his own.
I'm sorry Loco Coco I hope the sleep training goes well. I remember with Matilda it sucked so bad for two nights (I was crying outside her room) but then it made a huge difference so quickly! I think her issue was she fell asleep nursing then at the end of every sleep cycle she would wake again crying and need to nurse. She couldn't sleep without nursing. But after doing the Ferber she was sleeping ok with only 1 feed for the most part (I mean obviously she would get sick, teething, travel regressions etc. But still far better than it was!)
We had a good night, William went to sleep at 830 and woke at 2 and 530.
He will be 4 months tomorrow. I keep hoping maybe we won't have a horrific 4 month regression then?? But then I remember how terrible it got with Matilda so I'm afraid to be hopeful.

I'm sorry to all the ladies who had bad nights, hugs.
I think about the 4MW and then wonder how can it get any worse?? This kid doesn't sleep. He's up every hour. Last night he did 1 - 3 hour stretch but it was on our drive home from the IL's so I wasn't sleeping. I'm exhausted to say the least. This weekend people kept asking if he was a good baby and if he slept well. Ugh. My MIL said "Oh I totally get it, J was up at 5am every morning so I was soooo tired". I was like "Um, I wish! A is up every hour all night!" She said "Oh. Why?" WTF? Ugh. I'm getting so bitter. I think I will just start lying to people.
He is so fussy this morning. Won't nurse. Keeps biting his hands, so he must be teething. I feel so bad because I'm so tired I have zero patience. He was up so much last night and I have insomnia so I didn't sleep between wake ups. Then X woke up screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO daycare!!!!!! Sleeeeeeep more!!!!!"

I need coffee.
I'm sorry things are still so hard. Olivia was up every hour too as a baby and nothing changed at 4 months except it was harder to get her down for naps. It's hard, people typically can't relate to the type of exhaustion you're experiencing.

Loco Coco, I just saw your tag. The last few nights have been great, but we went back to the Swaddle and RNP so it's just delaying the inevitable. She's starting to do sit-ups sometimes, so I don't know how much longer I can get away with the RNP.
