Up Every Hour - Week 17

🌻Jen🌹

I have seen some other posts and comments about week 17 being the worst of this regression. Luke is 17 weeks old tomorrow. We have been up EVERY HOUR tonight. Every sleep cycle he is waking up and needing me to fall asleep again. I have to hold him until he is in deep enough sleep to put down, then he is awake again a short while later. I read not to try to break sleep associations until after the regression... and I am his sleep association! I am EXHAUSTED and it is only going to build from here. To make matters more complicated, we have broken swaddle the last few days and he has been sleeping in a Zipadee-Zip, so his arms and hands are in his face everytime he hits light sleep, which wakes him up. I can't really nap when he naps bc I have to hold him in my lap to keep him asleep. If I put him down at naptime, he is awake almost instantly. Just needed to vent.
