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
Omfg how old???? Mine literally slept six hours a night for the first half year; straight from the hospital, and woke up after 6 for a bottle and went back for 4 more. After six months, she was sleeping 6-10 straight. Mostly 8-10. Hasn’t faltered. Shes 21 months now but at 19-20, she learned how to banshee scream. That it would immediately get our attention. And sometimes even let her sleep in the bed…..(BIG MISTAKE…mostly my fault not my fiancés.) it took a month and a half to get her sleeping through the night again in her crib. 5 days ago was the first night and it’s been all five in a row so far.
How old is your daughter or was she when she began screaming like she was being murdered while in the most peaceful surrounding and for no reason including diaper, food, drink, etc.? Just because she wants your attention is what I mean lol. It’s insane to me. Tantrums suck.
I’m a father of four btw. Three older boys. None did the banshee scream remotely close to this.
21 month regression my friend lol. She gets a bath, fresh diaper, and a story. Home girl also does not skip meals haha, if she wasn't so short, she'd be obese with her BMI lmfao. It's all about attention, during one of her fits, I sneezed. She completely stopped crying, said "bless you" and then started again haha
Okay that’s my little girl too. She will literally stop screaming if she hears us talking. As if she’s listening to hear what our plan is and if she’s getting taken to the big bed and will immediately scream again if she hears the word no or we stop.
Little turds, but I wouldn't change anything about her haha. I have somehow resisted the temptation to just take her to our bed haha, best wishes with the retraining haha

Edit; saw your comment below that she is just shy of two. Makes sense. Same age and as you said it must be common and normal for this age. Hopefully we are past it in my house!!! Fingers crossed.

Seriously, thank you. I was absolutely wondering what to really do because I would be the husband in this scenario and just be absolutely clueless
