Feeling Like a Failure
Hi all, FTM here and lately i just feel like I have been doing a really crappy job as a momma... my perfect 6mo old baby girl was sleeping in her bassinet almost every night and doing fine. Today she turns 6 months old and the last, almost week, i have been struggling to get her to sleep without being swaddled at least half way... she was doing so good before and now i feel like we've taken a step backwards because she is having to be swaddled again. She rolls to her side almost immediately when i put her in her bassinet so, ive been having to lay her in her in a safer place to sleep so that she doesnt try to roll until we get past the phase of needing to be swaddled again... any chance i get where i can loosen the swaddled and let her arms out to lay her in her bassinet, i do because i know laying her on a flat surface on her back is best but i dont have the option a lot of the time. We are pretty good at paying close attention to when we feel she is going through a growth spurt or is having sleep retention from learning something new. We think shes kind of doing both right now with learning to crawl which, we are hoping, is why shes needing the extra comfort hence the swaddling and waking every 2 hours at night... idk ig im just feeling like because she is 6 months old and still needing swaddled at times that i feel like im failing her because she isnt able to lay in her bassinet which is the safest place... ik im doing all that i can but i feel like i should be figuring a way to do more somehow. Or that if i just did SOMETHING different then shed be fine...
