So I reached out on IG to other moms out there to see if they had any tips to help get your baby to sleep through the night and these are some of the responses..
I may have had 4 kids, but I still have no clue about any of it. The whole first few months of all of their lives goes by so quickly and it’s all pretty much a blur that i’m not sure when any of them started to sleep through the night. I just can’t remember at all. Bridey slept through the night for the first time two nights ago and again last night. And by “through the night” I mean we put her to bed at around 10 p.m. and she was up at 5 a.m. If she woke up during the night, I gave her a pacifier and she would stay asleep.. but we all know now that I’ve said it, I’m jinxed and who knows if she’ll sleep good tonight. Here are what other moms have said about tips they’ve tried:
“i sware by keeping them somewhat elevated on their side and sound machine!”
“get her to drink 24 oz before 10-11 pm”
“larger feeding before bed if she’s allowed to”
“i’m no help, my kids didn’t sleep through the night till like ten months”
“when they weigh between 10-12 lbs. and about 2 months old they do longer stretches”
“drop her off at her Godmother’s house”
“sleep training group on Facebook called respectful sleep training – game changer”
“full belly”
“Ollie swaddle”
“a warm bath & bottle before bedtime”
“a sound machine helps!”
“there’s a book called 12 Hours of Sleep by 12 Weeks” – this is pretty much the one that I’m going to try out
