    Does your baby take a pacifier? I usually gave my son the pacifier in that situation. But it might be possible that your baby actually needs the breast. Try to nurse on the side so that the baby falls asleep next to you instead of on top so you can be more comfortable. Also, honestly, I would just leave my breasts naked and let the baby figure it out

    @@marjan6837 I think it's important to remember that your needs matter no less than the babies. I used to sleep on my side and being afraid to move around to take a more comfortable position. But truth is - the baby doesn't care in which position you are as long as they can feel you in some way and feel protected by you. So I started moving my son in bed the way it was comfortable for me. First I started changing my side more frequently (while my son wanted to cuddle a lot) and as he was getting older and stopped needing the cuddles I started sleeping on my back and just made sure that he's touching me with a hand or a foot. Once they are asleep you can put them in almost any position and make yourself comfortable as well. My son is now 2 and I sometimes literally just tell him to move because I'm uncomfortable and he moves 😄. There's no precise instruction, you just have to see what works for you and your kid

    Sleep consultants nearly caused me PND I listened to my midwives and Dr Bill Spears and IBCLC Emma Pickett and accepted nursing to sleep and co sleeping. I will never listen to a sleep expeet ever again. So cruel and depressive. We just moved our Little one to their own bed at 24months weaned at 20months and he has the best bond with me and super cuddly. His tantrums are extremely minimal and he knows my arms are for comfort so when he ia upset he wanta cuddles and he calms right away. He doesn't hit and he is well behaved majority of the time. I accredit that to always being there parenting him 24/7 and not a 8am -7pm job. Mama is a safe space. Now expecting baby #2 and I will love the newborn phase this time and accept the closeness and bond that I will build with my babies.

    Absolutely! But you know, we should never care about what other people think. As long as our choices work well for us, nobody else's opinion matters. My mom for example is super suspicious about us moving our son to his own room (now that he's almost 2). In her opinion, it's too soon and he should stay in our bedroom until he's like 5 😅 But our son really likes his own bed and doesn't mind at all. And I sleep with him whenever he needs me. So it just works for our family and the transition was very smooth and natural, we didn't have to force anything.

    I'm not saying it's bad. But in order to do it gently, without damaging child's basic feeling of trust, one needs a tremendous amount of patience and strength. And not every new mother has enough. So I'm saying that nursing to sleep is a perfectly acceptable way of bringing your child to sleep and there's no shame in making the most out of what nature gave us.

  • @AnastasiaSchoss
    @AnastasiaSchoss6 ай бұрын

    If your baby is 6 months old then you have probably already started weaning. As your baby will eat more solids they will need less feedings at night. I personally just wear nightgowns that kinda keep my boobs accessible to the child so that it only takes a minute for the baby to latch on and then I'm back to sleep

  • @keerak
    @keerak5 ай бұрын

    I've read that sometimes babies just suck for comfort rather than actually needing food, so if your 6 month old is gaining enough weight, perhaps try giving them a pacifier or their own thumb to suck on. This is only something I've read mind you, I'm still pregnant with my first born XD

    I was nursing my baby about 4 times a night at 11 months. I night weaned by me being in another room while my husband slept with the baby. I made sure to feed him a good solid meal that would stick to him and keep him full all night (mix of protein, carbs and fat) He cried the first night and woke up like six times. My husband just sung to him and comforted him. Then he slept through the second night. Then only woke up 1-2 times an night after that. Then I weaned my baby completely by 13 1/2 months and he forgot about milk so I could sleep with him and he stopped asking for milk. He still wakes up sometimes but mainly for reassurance or if he is hungry because I didn’t feed him enough before bed.

    Love this video. Tracking things like feedings, sleep, etc. and feeling compelled to follow official reccomendations are some of the greatest modern afflictions placed upon first time mums. I converted to cosleeping after accidentally falling asleep twice with my baby in the first 2 weeks. Best decision ever, I actually started feeling human again. And can the media please stop equating safe cosleeping withe e.g. accidentally falling asleep with your baby on a sofa, etc. As I said, i began (safe) cosleeping to *reduce* the risk of accidentally falling asleep with baby in an unsafe environment

  • @AnastasiaSchoss
    @AnastasiaSchoss7 ай бұрын

    Yes, I absolutely agree with you! I got terrified once I realized how easy it is to fall asleep in an undafe place while nursing the baby. And even now, that he's approaching 2 and I get 7-8 hours of sleep almost every night, I still sometimes fall asleep every now and then while nursing him... So I'd better do that in a safe environment right away!

The same company that we built with has a lot of way more affordable houses, but we really wanted to build for life so that we never have to move again 😀 So even though I can't promise a house tour, feel free to ask any specific questions - and I'll try to answer them to my best ability!

    My LO is 5 months old now. We’ve been Co-sleeping so far. However, since I’ll be starting work when my baby is 12 months old and will be sending my LO to a day care, I feel like I’ve to train the baby to fall a sleep on her own during naps and night. This way, the day care providers won’t pressure my baby to put herself to sleep for naps (she’ll already be trained). Also, I’ll be able to prepare meals etc for the next day while she’ll be going to sleep without my help at night. If u have any suggestions, please advise. Thank you 🙏🏻

  • @AnastasiaSchoss
    @AnastasiaSchoss7 ай бұрын

    I was stressing out a lot about daycare too (we also sent our guy to daycare at 12 month). What made it easier for me, is that in our daycare they completely followed our baby. What I mean by that is that they usually have lunch at 12 and then nap is at 1 pm, which was obviously way to late for a 12 months old as he was still on a 2 nap schedule by then. So for my son - they would put him to sleep whenever he'd get tired (around 10 am) and then when he would wake up, he had some more or less private time with the caretakers 😀 And they also didn't have any struggle to put him to bed - each caretaker just developed their own routine with our son. By now he's almost 20 months old, he takes a nap at daycare at 1 and he pretty much falls asleep by himself without me having to do any training. He still falls asleep in my arms though when he's at home. And I honestly don't mind. It takes me less than 15 minutes to put him down for a nap (I simply move him to his crib after he falls asleep with me) and then I have all the nap time to myself. In the evenings I'm still nursing and bedtime takes longer, but it's simple and it works for us. If you'd rather have the evening time to yourself - I'd recommend involving the father into the ritual, so that he can take over. You can also try to get a feeling on how ready your kid is to fall asleep without you (mine isn't, so I'm not pushing). And by all means, I'm not against sleep training as long as it makes life easier for the family and not harder. I'm personally very short on patience required for sleep training and for me nursing to sleep is just the quickest and easiest solution. But please, listen to your heart and do what your intuition tells you to!
