My mom win last night

hbird0723 · September 2014

I had a win moment last night. As I've posted before my LO is very very attached to the exercise ball. She thinks the only way to get to sleep is to be bounced and nursing. I don't mind the nursing part but as said before the bouncing is killing my back and arms. I have been trying on and off to get her to let me rock her instead and she will start screaming so this week I decided to wait until she was almost asleep and then sit and pat her. After a couple times I shortened the time and tonight she let me sit and rock her to sleep! Even though she was put to bed like 4 times and kept waking the last time I got to rock and I think she's out now

hoping we have turned a corner! Anyone else have a mom win moment this week?

Kudos to you -- that's great!! My DD fell asleep twice in her stroller this week! That's unusual BC typically she only falls asleep (day or night) if I hold her over my shoulder and away/bounce with her.

Nice! For the past few nights I've been working on losing the swaddle and the past two nights we've gone completely without. Last night he slept from 8p-4a, came to bed with me and slept from then till almost 8a

My win is that I got courage to use saline before using the nosefrida. It was so much more effective and LO tolerated it just fine. I'm not sure now why I was so apprehensive.

Mom - 2; Emerson - 4,586

....but I won again last night. She usually wakes up once (around 4am) to eat. She slept last night from 7:45 pm - 6:50 am and only woke up because I had to wake her up to nurse so we could for DC!

After 2 weeks of sleep regression and a cold. DS slept from 10:30-5:15. He woke up once but soothed himself back to sleep. I don't think I had anything to do with that but sleep =mommy win.
