If it’s any consolation with the weekend trip idea, babies act completely different when they’re not with their parents or even at home. Both of my kids have very specific bedtime routines that they’re super picky about at home with us. But if they’re spending the night at either set of grandparents’, they act completely different and don’t need the 37 million stuffed animals or books in specific orders or whatever. And this has been since both of them were babies. It’s been the same with potty training, eating, etc. Whenever they’re out of their “norm,” they’re more flexible and sometimes some of those habits reset!

100% I think I am too sensitive to be a mom sometimes.

Never ever did we sleep trained. We tried the Ferber method - lasted ONE day. We just had our second and I’ve been crying none stop thinking about how I failed my first but I’ll tell you what my nurses and therapists told me- bad moms don’t worry about being bad moms, you’re a great mom. I was BF until I was 2.5 and our daughter until she was 17 months.

totally, totally get how you're feeling. I think hearing them cry gets easier as they get older, because they cry more frequently when you correct their behavior. for example, standing on top of a chair, if you put them down on the floor, they'll cry and throw a fit. in this instance, letting them cry isnt as hard to hear because you know removing them from the chair is for their own safety. right now, he's crying to get his way too. obviously it feels way harder, because you know you're the source of why he's crying and you've been his comfort for over the past year. at some point, when you feel emotionally strong enough, it will benefit him to "cry it out", because inevitably you'll have to remove things from him in the future that he enjoys, but may be unsafe, and this is teaching him how to navigate those struggles. supporting him through that tough time by being next to him, reminding him it's okay, giving him other options to soothe, etc. behavior change is hard and it takes time, but it's possible. it just hurts our heart as mothers. I mean all of this with love and no judgement! Just trying to pass along some reassurance as a fellow mother and as a child psychologist.

Everyone gave me such a hard time because I couldn’t take it either and did not play the cry it out game. Our BF journey stopped abruptly, long story, but my son is a certified Velcro baby and needs mama. Now, he’s 3. In his big boy bed sleeping 12 hours through the night no problems. I think your heart is big enough to love your boy the way God intended. You’re his mama, you know him and sometimes you have to protect your mama heart and just ignore everyone else. I know your instance is different just trying to give you some encouragement because motherhood ain’t easy and you’re doing awesome ♥️

It feels like it will never end up right now while you’re in it but I promise sooner than later he won’t need you ever again to sleep, you’re doing great answering his cries

Don’t let them cry - they need you for a reason

Best advice I ever got was, babies don’t cry blood, they won’t die from crying.

My 11 month is still having a bottle in the middle of the night because I can’t handle not giving it to him when he wants one over night. He doesn’t finish it but it comforts him so 🙃 you’re not alone!

Girl this is all very normal. Mom guilt will eat you up . But sometimes we gotta keep pushing to get them out of things .

Hey love! Mother of 4 here 💁🏻♀️i was like u with my last 2 babies. I started taking the boob little by little, bcoz at that point it was more for comfort, not for eating. So i did it like that until they eventually forgot about it! Then they were just sleeping on my chest! That hurt my back bcoz they grew, but definitely better than having ur boob for a binky lol

Please just know it will happen eventually, he wont be on your boob at 6 years old. You are making progress even if you cant see it or feel it yet.

I was on the same train! Breastfed for 2+ years, one night she fell asleep without breastfeeding and I took that as a sign! When she asked the next time I told her there was no more and distracted her, she kept asking a few days and then forgot about it
