Thank you so much for joining me here! I wanted to start this thread because we all know sleep is such an important part of our lives as mamas - both for our sanity and our physical health.
I think we all have those nights (or weeks) where sleep seems like a distant memory or an unrealistic luxury. And sometimes, it's helpful to have a few tricks up your sleeve (or should I say swaddle!) to help get through those sleepless periods.
I'll go first! When my baby was around 4 months old and fighting sleep like it was her job, we started using white noise - it was a game-changer! We use a simple app on our phone, and it really helps to block out any outside noises and signals to her that it's time to sleep. I also found that using a rockabye baby lullaby CD helped too, as the music would cue her brain that it's nap/bedtime.
What are your go-to solutions for those tricky sleep situations? Anything you've tried that's worked wonders? Let's pool our resources and help each other get some well-deserved rest!
