The Journey of Being a Momma

Why is it soo hard to put your baby in the seat of their jumper.?! Almost 20 pounds of baby who won't work with me!! Let's just say whoever came up with that way of needing to put baby in the seat....I am sorry for what I said when I was frustrated.  

Omg 360 diapers are the WORST. Yes, putting pants on my child is quite literally like wrestling an alligator...please give me diapers that I have to put on the same way....If you see my baby out and about without pants on and just a blankie...mind your business..lol. 7.5 months old is the toughest changing stage yet. 

Nighttime Scaries Are Back!

My baby spent the first 3 weeks of his life either sleeping on us or in his rocker. Ever since then though he has been in a crib. Well we walked into the 4 month sleep regression and never came out.! It is one thing after another. First he was just not wanting to sleep alone then he got sick, then vaccines and he was super congested, then got better but the 6 month regression hit harder and now he is teething and super clingy again. 

My 7.5 month old regressed in his nighttime sleep and now basically only sleeps if he is on me. I love his snuggles but it is not safe for him to keep sleeping on me especially if I am sleeping too and it is starting to take a toll on me. He will be sound asleep on me and as soon as we put him in his crib he either immediately wakes up or sleeps for 2 hours or less and then wakes up crying. He is not even eating everytime he wakes up. He just wakes up crying and is asleep again right away once picked up. He only gets one bottle during the night. 

Any tips are welcome. We are getting desperate. I am working on daytime crib naps and I just got magnesium lotion for his feet. Please tell me I am not alone.!!

You are the best mom

Even "at your worst" you are your baby's best. You are doing the best you can and your baby just wants to be with you. Remember this empowering message. You are enough, and your love is all your baby needs.
