Q&A: My 8th moth baby wants to only sleep in my bedroom?

She used to sleep alone and wake up around 5 a.m. then we would move her in our bed. But i was away for 2 weeks and wife let her sleep with her all the time and since im back she is weaking up during the night a lot and would only stop crying if she puts her on her breast . My wife has backbone problems so she cant be on her side whole night and i dont think baby is hungry 5 times per night . ..
When is a good time to start educating my baby ? I heard that in first year you shouldnt stop giving them all they wish for and do all they like …
OK i see i needed to explain myself better. Im sleeping on the couch and im not one complaining . I do think that lettign the baby cry a while has a good thought behind it . I mean 10-15 min you can always hear if they are histerical or bored . Prob is that we have a extra bad in out badroom right next to our bed but she dont want to use it only way she wishes to sleep is on the breast .
P.S. Im afraid of mad momma too ;)

baby should sleep with you. you can help your wife to handle the baby.

Your wife sounds like she doing the right thing. 8 month old babies often nurse during the night. If it is such an issue for YOU why not let your wife and daughter have the bed to themselves while you sleep on the couch? Your baby girl is a baby…she wants her mommy. It’s not like she’s asking for toys or money. She simply wants the comfort of her mom.

Now is a good time to teach her. It does hurt to hear them cry, you are going to have to let her. Set a time limit for like 20 minutes, if she is not done crying then go get her. Keep making it a longer period of time everyday until she stops.

It is a quandry you are in my friend. A wise man would enjoy these moments. They will go away quickly, slowly. You will miss them later, much much later.

But on the other hand you work and you are tired and you want your wife yet you are having to share her. Not that you don’t love your kid.

Keep in mind that she is being a mommy right now. I know it’s hard to sleep with this baby, but this is one thing you might ease up on your wife about. You may get a mad momma, which is equallly if not more unpleasant. It does not sound as though she is one to be outwardly angry but be proud of your wife that she takes such good care of your daugther.

It won’t necessarily harm your baby if she sleeps with you. Be gentle with your wife. Talking to her in a rough tone or telling her what others think may do more harm than good. I enjoyed sleeping with my babies because they are only little once and they are cuddly,

dont be selfish, your baby needs to be with you guys at night and you really need to get used to it. help your wife to feed baby if she has back issues – ie, position baby for her. at 8 months yes your baby can be hungry 5 times a night, mine is even now at 21 months. if you are scared wouldnt you want someone to console you – well why would you leave your baby to cry and feel abandoned thats just cruel. as a baby they need all the love you can give them dont deny them.

i HIGHLY recommend reading the book “Secrets of the Baby Whisperer” I think it’s by Tracy Hogg. (It should be easy to find a copy at the library) I could be totally off on the name of the author though. There’s just a few chapters in there that were like magic when I wanted to transition my daughter to sleep in her crib after sleeping with me for months. I had to fight my MIL about the methods, she thought you should rock your child to sleep til they were 3(weird fight) anyhow. The gist of it is that YOU train the baby in it’s habit. If you always hold it for it’s afternoon nap it’ll complain if you try to do otherwise. The thing to remember is that you are in charge of setting that routine if you want. The book helps to explain an effective way of changing or setting a routine. Anyhow. Useful book. Good luck!

you cant educate baby she just wont understand anything yet. You can let her get readjusted to sleeping in her crib. Your wife just has to nurse her and put her back when shes asleep. I know how your wife feels, my daughter sleeps with us sometimes and the pain from not being able to move freely because it will wake her or just because theres no room makes things horrible for me. You and your wife can get her back to sleeping in her crib it will just take sometime :) Let your wife nurse her and you can try to put her back in her crib. Just try things til one works for you…Oh and I absolutely totally 100% disagree with the let baby cry!
