Recommendations for getting babies through sleep regression? Had him sleeping through the night and 3-4 months he’s waking up twice...

It’s less about getting the baby through sleep regression and more about getting yourself through sleep regression. Babies do what they want. It’s parents that have to figure out how to not go crazy.

I hear ya. I hate to say it but it just depends. Also, depending on age it could be teething. Our philosophy when that started was 3 strikes and your out. Meaning kid gets Tylenol or ibuprofen. I always did the overnight stuff because I fall back to sleep easier and anywhere (read rocking chair). It’s gets easier you and your wife/so will figure it out.

The good thing is that they will get through it on their own.. but that length of time is different for every baby.

He’s probably hungry. I had my son sleeping through the night at 5 months and then he started waking up. Out pediatrician said to feed him it last a short period of time

SM1 we were going to do that but were worried that he would then expect that food overnight and we shouldn’t get him used to eating at that point

Try to dream feed him before he wakes up

Couple things to check/try:
-Room temp (too cold? too hot? I use SensorPush to monitor)
-Try ibuprofen for at least three consecutive nights. Could be teething, which hurts more when babies lie down.

Sometimes I have a near panic attack for fear that I am not being the best dad I can be. I am deathly afraid of letting my children down. I think I’m doing right and putting family first but still.

First time soon to be a dad here. Is it abnormal that I don’t want to have sex with my pregnant wife?

My daughter just turned 14 months and she’s so fun! Starting to walk and talk. She says dada all the time. It’s just amazing. I’m looking for suggestions on things to do together. The weather is terrible so we are mostly in the house. She doesn’t really like to read but she loves it when we make up stories and do voices with her stuffed animals. She also loves playing with blocks and stacking toys.

I feel trapped in a loop of stressful home life with a toddler and wife shouting at me in the morning/night to boring work life during the day. 😑
