He is asleep by 730 the latest. We start bath at 630, read a book and then rock him to sleep. And i know that's the problem. He just won't sleep otherwise. We tried sleep training but it didn't work bcus my mom refused to put him down for naps crying.

Have you tried moving his bedtime up a bit to compensate for the lost sleep from the missing nap? It seems counterintuitive but that’s what worked for us.

I count myself lucky when he sleeps for three hours at a time 😭
Thank god I thought my son was the only one. Lol he slept through the night from 1 month old to 4 months. Then the sudden, he wakes up 2-3 times a night. Ready to play or wanting a bottle. I’m exhausted 😭

I did a free phone consult with Sleepless in Nola. She is a pediatrician that specializes in sleeping and eating issues. She said this issue is a quick fix and we have a 1hr phone consult set up for next week. You don’t have to live in NOLA to use her. Look her up! She’s really awesome.

Yes!!!! Like how in the world am I supposed to break that habit? There’s no bottle to wean him from... he just wants to be awake 😭

This is EXACTLY what I’m dealing with. Most of the time she doesn’t want food. Just wants to be awake.
Mine slept through the night starting st 4 weeks. At 4 months she started rolling over and stopped sleeping through the night. She doesn’t want anything other than for me to pick her up. Like every 2 hours. I’m so tired. 😩😩😩😩

My ped said the 4 month regression is the one they will never recovered on their own from. We have to teach them they can fall asleep on their own. We’ve been putting baby down sleepy but awake since 5 months. It took a lot of patience and picking up, comforting, then putting down but now he can put himself back to sleep without me! Still wakes 1-2 times a night to eat cause he loves food though!

I had a free phone consult with a sleep specialist. She suggested another consult to fix our probalems. Look up sleepless in Nola. She does phone consults for anyone. Don’t have to live in Nola.

Same here! We never recovered from the 4 moth regression. He wakes up 4-5 times a night and now nursing has become a sleep crutch!
Mine was waking every 3 hours until about 5 months, then just twice at night, then only once at night at 6 months, then started sleeping through at 7 months. We put her to bed at 7:30-7:45 and she wakes up between 5:30-6:30 in the morning, around when I have to get up/leave for work and I nurse her before I leave.
Mine is 8 months and has just started sleeping 12 hours a night MOST nights. Occasionally she still needs a bottle at about 6 and then will go back to sleep. It took a lot of work today get there but it was worth it. I’m soooo not taking these night for granted and am hoping they last!

My daughter also always rolls over on her stomach to sleep so I’m not sure how you would tweak it for a back sleeper 🤷🏼♀️

I started by putting her down sleepy but not quite asleep (because that’s what everything I read said to do) but honestly that would make her immediately start screaming. She does better if she has a bottle and a book read to her and then is laid down while still pretty awake. She would either play for awhile and fall asleep or start to cry. I would let her cry for a couple mins (not scream but fuss) and then go in a pat her back until she fell asleep (this part took awhile at the beginning). But I didn’t talk to her or take her out of her crib. I wanted her to know I was there and she was okay but that it was time for sleep. The hard part was repeating the back patting multiple times in the middle of the night but after a couple of weeks she would go to sleep all on her own and sleep all night except for usually one bottle (: I hope that made since I wish you could see your whole reply when typing on here 😂

Can I ask what how you did it?
