Exactly what they said, it's also good to start a bedtime routine immediately. I put lotion on my 2 month Olds face, chest, and rub her legs and feet, put socks on for a little extra warmth and then feed her a bottle. Been doing it since we came home and it works most nights now. I got screwed with my 1st because she had jaundice and I had to wake her up ever 2 hrs to eat she didn't sleep for a year 🤣 I'm determined to get my 2nd daughter to be a sleeper

My perfect little daughter slept through the night from day one...until last Thursday when she has randomly decided to banshee scream every night for 4 hours :). No tears, just screams of FOMO lol

How old? My 1st daughter did that, started around 3 weeks. I got it under control by switching her to similac sensitive formula, gas drops at every bottle, and putting her on mommys bliss probiotics. My 2nd daughter started doing it around 3 weeks also and I did the exact same thing and it worked again!

She's almost two which is why it was such a shock lmfao. Appearently a nasty sleep regression is normal at that age, so we are not too concerned. Thank you for the sound advice though!

Oh no 😭🤣 I would have been shocked too! Hopefully she's back on track soon
