I am currently 18 months ppm & I feel every months when my period comes around I feel so much more anxious & stressed about everything than I ever did. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I’ve experienced depression before but this feels different. Thanks in advance
I’m at a loss. I’m certain we have hindered our son’s ability to soothe himself to sleep. Since birth we have been room sharing, in his own bassinet then crib and sometimes in our bed. He had very bad reflux for the first few months so he slept on my chest. He’s never really slept through the night. We got 6-8 stretches occasionally but never consistently. About 6 weeks ago we moved him into his own room bigger crib. He is very familiar with this room he plays in there often. This move came after going cold turkey with the milk bottle so that made it difficult to put him to sleep but eventually I would rock him and he would sleep for a few hours. Then he was dealing with separation anxiety for a week because my husband was away. Barely slept at night & even skipped naps on 2 days. I was doing the chair method and it was working but then it stopped. So then I tried Ferber this past week , night 1 sucked, night 2 he slept from 8-430, night 3 terrible & night 4 (last) sucked so we decided just to let him CIO at 430am. It didn’t work. He cried continuously for an hour screaming losing his voice. We live in an apartment so this is even harder. My husband works late so only gets to bed around midnight. I tried bringing him into our bed but he won’t sleep there either. Tell me what to do. Please. We cannot function like this.
