How are we putting our 20lb+ babies to sleep???
And before anyone tells me to try baby wearing, trust me, I have!! On rare occasions does he tolerate being worn and on even rarer occasions does he actually fall asleep in the carrier. I have a rocking chair and usually if he’s sleepy enough I can feed him to sleep on there but lately it’s stopped working and I don’t know what to do anymore. He doesn’t want me to be sitting at all only standing up and pacing around but my back is in so much pain at this point. I have no one else to help me. Dad’s not around and my mom has too many back problems to carry him for that long. I know some people bounce their babies to sleep on a yoga ball? I don’t have one but would maybe consider getting one although i’m not sure it would work since he hates when I sit down lol. Im not sure if it’s a growth spurt or some kind of regression because after about a months worth of paying very close attention to wake windows and making sure he’s getting enough daytime and nighttime sleep, suddenly every nap and every bedtime is a battle. I am so frustrated. I never want to leave my baby to cry alone but lately i’ve been getting so upset with struggling to put him to sleep that I’ve had to set him down multiple times for a few minutes while I just rest because my body hurts so bad. And he screams the whole time. I feel so shitty. I am completely lost with what to do at this point especially because he is only 5 months and I know he is just going to keep getting heavier and heavier.
