5-Month Old Won't Sleep More than 2 Hours in a Row

Hello Mamas - I desperately need your help. About a month ago, we transitioned my daughter from the bassinet to the crib. She had been waking up once or twice a night while sleeping in the bassinet. Ever since she has been in the crib, she has woken up every 1.5 to 2 hours, like clockwork. I literally have not slept more than 2 hours in a row since then, and am at my wits end. I nurse her full-time, and it is the easiest way to get her to go back to sleep, so that is what we've been doing. Occasionally if she wakes up sooner than 2...

Weaning off the Swaddle

My 7.5-month-old son does reasonably well with his sleeping, but he's still dependent on being swaddled in order to fall asleep and stay asleep. In fact, he seems to be becoming more and more dependent on the swaddle: Now, even if he has just a hand out of the top of the swaddle, he tends to not be able to sleep until we reswaddle him. The problem is, he's also getting better and better at getting out of his swaddle (even though we use a SwaddleMe), leading to more times when he can't fall asleep or stay asleep because he's gotten out. We...

Sleeping Without a Swaddle?

My son loves to be swaddled, but at 4 months old, he is growing too large for his swaddleme and swaddling with a regular blanket is too loose for his liking. We have been trying to get him to sleep without it (without any luck) because we know there will be a day when we wont be able to keep the swaddle closed. Even if he falls asleep in his swing or in my arms, my son will wake up as soon as he is put into his crib, unless the swaddleme is on. We would like to start using sleep sacks but cannot figure out how to get our son to sleep. ...

Getting Baby to Sleep on Her Own

I have a 4 month old and she sleeps wonderfully at night in her crib, atleast 8-9 hours, but only when we rock her to sleep. We have been trying to put her down drowsy and let her try to fall asleep on her own. She crys for 5 minutes, we go in, soothe her, then wait another 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes and she usually crys herself to sleep within 30 minutes but it is absolutely breaking our hearts to hear her cry, any suggestions to make it easier? She goes to daycare in about 4 weeks and I want her to be able to put herself to...

Advice on Breaking Baby of Dependence on Swaddling

Hello, Helpful Moms. I have a wonderful 3-month old son who overall is a very good sleeper. My challenge is that he sleeps well only when tightly swaddled, but now that he is bigger and stronger, he breaks out of the swaddle too easily and wakes himself up. I am using the Swaddle-Me blankets with velcro fasteners and I swaddle him very tightly, but he can still get a hand or a foot out when he goes into the lighter sleep phase. Basically, the swaddling no longer works, and I am wondering if any of you have had experience with weening...

When Is Time to Stop Swaddling?

My 5.5 month old will only sleep soundly when swaddled. I've tried with one arm and that works sometimes, but at night she really won't go down without the full swaddle. We have been using swaddle blankets since she was born and she does try to break out of them. Often she is able to get at least one arm out and I worry about the safety of it since the blankets can move up to her neck and face. I would say her breaking out of the blankets is a sign she is ready to wean from the swaddle, except that she will not sleep without it. Any advice...
