I forgot how difficult this is because it’s been three years.
I’m officially afraid of sunsets.
Sending hugs to everyone who knows they won’t be sleeping tonight and has no idea when they will sleep again.
It will improve, but only gradually.
Solidarity! I’m presently awake nursing LO at 1:30 a.m. thanks to the four-month regression, and while it’s exhausting, I don’t feel as anxious as I did right after giving birth. Due to my hormone balance, I have a drastically different perspective in the same conditions! So it gets better! The sun always rises, and you’ll get through this!
I’d want to pretend that this will not happen to us. I was thinking earlier today about how wonderful it is that our LO goes to bed early and only wakes up 1-2 times to eat, and it all happened organically. But he’s 3 months and I know the regression is around the corner, and I’m frightened lol.
It never happened to my first. She stored it everything to unleash after the 9-month relapse hehe.
It might not happen to you, but it’s better to be prepared and pleasantly pleased than to be utterly caught off guard!
I was up all night with a sick 11-month-old. When I’m up late in “the chair,” I always think of the mommies who are going through it as too.
Stay strong! The first few weeks are quite difficult.
I’m at 3:30 p.m. and just got LO down. I have a cold and desperately need to blow my nose, but I don’t want to send her into another round of soothing and settling.
“The ultimate sin” is known as the sniffles. She’ll sleep through practically everything, but the instant you even barely blow your nose or sniffle to breathe easier, she’s wide awake haha. Thankfully, she’s become a lot better with it, but I definitely had to learn the hard way that sometimes it’s simpler to mouth breathe
