So my baby use to sleep through the night. We started out cosleeping and now I nurse her and then put her in her pack and play. Ever since 4 months old when the sleep regression hit she wakes up 3-6 times throughout the night crying and wanting to be nursed back to bed. I gave her what she wanted as soon as she would start crying because my husband wakes up very early for work and I didn't want the baby to wake him.

Well she is almost 6 months old now and I laid her down in her bassinet and I just started to fall asleep and she woke herself back up and started screaming because she wanted to boob back to pacifier. I decided in my sleepy mind state it's time for her to learn to self soothe and let her fall asleep on her own because I can't keep waking up 5 times in the middle of the night with her. I am so tired. Well she was crying for maybe 3 minutes and my husband wakes up and says "why is she crying" and I tell him I want her to self soothe and fall asleep on her own so we need to be quiet.

2 more minutes pass by and hes like "can we do this another night" and I told him no because the in laws will be up soon spending the night, and it's not like he doesn't work Monday- Friday anyways so he will have to tuff it out at some point.since this will take a few days most likely. So he starts pissing and moaning about it and I told him to go sleep on the coach.

He gets up grabs his alarm clock and let's about a big huff and slams the door on the way out of the room.

Keep in mind i am really pissed off now he made a scene when i am trying to get the baby to fall asleep on her own.

Couples minutes goes by and he storms back upstairs and says "I can still hear her crying from down stairs" very pissed off.

And so I get frustrated and at this point I just pick the baby up and put her in bed with me and let her use me as a pacifier to fall back asleep.

I dont think I will ever be able to get her to sleep through the night. Feeling hopeless between making the baby happy and making my husband happy too. I have been suffering from lack of sleep for almost 2 months. Other than her sleeping through the night at 3 months old.

I need advice. How do I make both happy without my sleep completely suffering

Response: I agree I should have warned him. We did talk about it a few days before last night and starting sleep training etc, but I did not give him warning last night because I didn't plan on starting last night, I just hit my breaking point.

I have catered to his needs since the moment he went back to work a day after our baby was born. I am exhausted... I feel like he could cater to my needs for a few nights.

Maria: thank you for that. Like I don't already feel like shit enough for having to take this route. I am sure you walk on water as a parent. 👍🖕
