was the worst for you (if you follow them)? And if you want to be my best friend, please say ww19 (4 month) because we're thankfully done with that one. But about to start the next one (what has it been, 5 minutes since the last one?!) and I'm scared. So which was the worst for you?
-
She's only 8 months old but seriously ww19 was HELL. Combined with the 4 month sleep regression & our house wasn't the happiest home for awhile. It will get better!!
-
Yes, the 4 month one was hell! Awful sleep regression happening at the same time (which I know is typical) and it just about killed me. Once it passed we sleep trained and life became a million times better for all of us!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: @wonderstruck: oh yay, you are my bffs!! Haha. I just got a little terrified that the next one would be just as bad...I need sleep!
-
I found that one bad and the one after that (ww26). But the last one (ww37) was only bad for one week, whereas the other ones were much longer.
-
@Pirouette: haha I've been there. Our 4 month regression started at 3.5 months & didn't end until almost 7 months. Needless to say, I am petrified of other sleep regressions to come! Here's to hoping we have already survived the worst of it!
-
Yes, 4 months has been the worst so far (LO is almost one now) because he had a horrible sleep regression. It never got better and after 6 weeks of no sleep we did sleep training. And it worked!
-
@Grace: you just made my day, because we just started this one and I was really dreading it! Here's hoping it is quick and relatively painless!
-
@MrsStormy: I found that as long as I let her crawl in and out of my lap, she was pretty happy. It was like she was constantly checking in.
-
@Pirouette: Sorry we can't be friends right now
but it was week 46 for us because he slept so HORRIBLY
-
I don't remember any of them being particularly worse than the others. We are in ww6 at the moment (35wks) and it's tough with the teething as well.
-
@Grace: that's what i was worried about...that the 19 week one basically flows right into the 26 week one and it's basically several months of no sleep! i'm terrified to tell my husband we're starting the next one already!
@Mrs. Sunshine: that's not what i wanted to hear! she's only 5 months, that would be another 2 months! (i should give her some credit, she's been good so far since the 4 month regression, but she's just hitting the stormy period so i'm terrified!
@Seattlemom: i'm REALLY hoping to avoid sleep training, i don't have the strength for it! but i'm so glad to hear this period was the worst for you...i'm so hoping we've gone through the worst already!
@Pumuckl: you're still my friend
46 is far enough away right now that i'm just going to pretend it doesn't exist!@illumina: aww...hope it gets easier soon! teething sucks all around
-
@Pirouette: yes w19!!!! I thought something was seriously wrong with her those two weeks. I wanted to take her to the dr but dh told me to wait it out. Overnight sleep was okay but naps were terrible and she was fussy alllllllll day long. It was hell. I was convinced she had suddenly developed colic/reflux.
Luckily that was the worst one so far ... She is her 37ww right now and you wouldn't even know it.
-
@Charm54: now that's what I wanted to hear! haha. yea, #19 is a doozy, and i was SO MAD that no one warns you about it. when she was born, everyone told me the first 3 months are the hardest, and then it gets easier...LIES! and yay for #37 being easy for you!
-
Not sure which wonder week it is, but the one that correlates to 9 month is pretty darn brutal. He's 10 months old now and we're still in the throws of it! He's learned to crawl, cruise, pull to stand, and just yesterday, learn to stand on his own from a sitting position! So much learning that his sleep is like wtf!
-
@Pirouette: I know how you feel, sleep training was so so hard. It was so worth it for us. But I know its not the right choice for everyone. One tip- if your SO can be home the first few nights, then let them do the check-ins, etc, and mom should leave the house for 30-60 mins. Its just too hard to for mommas to hear the crying.
-
@Alivoo01: oh i hear that! my LO is nowhere near ready to crawl but she wants to SO badly that she tries every night in her sleep - i keep seeing her on her tummy with her butt all the way in the air in the middle of the night, haha. it's amazing how much your LO has learned lately, and makes total sense that they have so many sleep issues the first year when you consider how much they learn!
@Seattlemom: I think if it comes to that i'll go stay in a hotel for a night. DH can handle it
so far she really has been a good sleeper, all things considered. it's the early morning wakeups during the sleep regression that killed us, and i've heard those are the hardest to sleep train.
-
@Pirouette: Yes, I have heard that too. Hope its gets better for you soon! My LO sometimes gets up at 5 or 530am, pretty rough, since he used to sleep til 7am! Its usually 6am most days though, and that I can live with.
but it was week 46 for us because he slept so HORRIBLY
