Starting work back tomorrow and this Friday my kid started having his 4 month sleep regression. It’s brutal. Any tips for moms who have faced this ? And also how long is this phase ?

I think it varies by baby. My LO is 10 months and not a good sleeper. Still wakes up once or twice a night. Every month there is something.. sleep regression..teething…growth spurt…sick. Just keep hanging in there and getting sleep when you can. Plus lots of caffeine during the day ☺️

Is your LO using the Merlin sleep sack? I was going nuts when my pediatrician recommended and it’s helped us so much! She went from up every 1-2 hours to up 2 maybe 3 times max over 12 hours. She now normally goes 6:30-sometime between 2 and 4

Are you working from home? If yes, I wouldn’t worry about it. If no, I still wouldn’t worry about it. They are going to have rough nights here or there and it’s just a part of living the working parent life. Sorry I’m no help but even with some hiccups here or there we have figured it out.

Honestly? It didn’t get better until we sleep trained closer to 5 months. It got better moving her into her own room, but she was still waking up twice a night. Her sleep regression started earlier around 13 weeks.

Hope your first day went well!! It gets easier ❤️

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.

My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.

1. Grapefruit sized cyst on right ovary 2. Unknown object with no heartbeat (maybe a hematoma) in the gestational sac with my baby 3. An empty gestational sac
