My 5.5 month old has been waking every 1-2 hours for like 3 months, and I’ve tried so many things. His wake windows are a mess, he ends up in my bed for part of the night every night because I’m so damn tired, it’s bad. Even sleep training he cried so long he started to get dehydrated. So what next? #parenting #sleep #sleeptraining #babysleep #desperatetimes #kids #baby #babies #nightwaking #tiredmom

We practice walking meditation together
One, two, ... twelve times across the nursery
I've got you
Bring your attention to my gentle sway
Hear my bare feet on the wooden floor
Creak, slide
Bring your attention to your breath
Notice your belly rising
And falling
There's no hurry
This moment is beautiful
We nurture us
Now you're asleep.

One of the hardest things about #parenting for me is teaching the baby to sleep alone. We’re not exactly #sleeptraining, but being able to put baby in the crib straightaway at night is the goal. Listening to the cries breaks my heart. I know this is a developmental phase and we’ll be thru it soon enough, but sometimes my heart just hurts.

Just had our first visit from a #Plunket sleep consultant. Would be fair to say I'm not impressed. #sleeptraining #newparents
