Sleep 2:30am babbling

My 6.5 month old just woke up at 2:30am to babble at top volume…. I’m glad she’s not crying but… like… I’m not sleeping

Sigh

I have a 2.5 month and his fave time is around 330. I'm glad you're not upset son but can you do it quietly? 🤣

Lol 11 months here and she will pull herself up, babble into the night, and then collapse back into her cot and fall asleep.

Hahaha does she sleep in your room? My LO is still in our room but honestly, I’d still hear her if she was in her own room

Yep she's still in our room but we will move her into her own room next year once her dad doesn't need it as his office. Apartment living.

4am here. I've been up since 1:30. 🥲 she must have very, very important things to say. Solidarity.

When my son was 12 months and his crib was still in my room he used to wake up at 2am every morning and go “mama night night”. Yes mama is night night it’s 2am!

My almost 5 month old has just discovered blowing raspberries at 2-3 in the morning is fun.

I feel cheated, during active sleep I read that it should stop around 4-5 months. Fantastic! No one warned me it would be replaced by all kinds of other noises. Was up every hour and a half last night, even though he wasn’t crying. I just need someone to tell me I’ll be able to sleep again. 😢

My LO after 5 months would do this. Transitioned to a crib in a separate room helped immensely. We still use Owlet and have a Nannit camera just in case

Sometimes their little voices are so cute, but it’s tough when you just need that rest. Hopefully, she’ll drift back off soon! 🌙🤞

Oh the joys of this age. My 7mo was blowing raspberries the other night around 3am. We use the lullabies on his monitor to help him settle back down.

I’m confused. I was talking about sleep

Omg lol sorry!!! Was reading a different post right before this! Yes he’s been sleeping better even after some wake ups and travel. The key seems to be sticking with your plan/routine and giving him appropriate wake windows

And this is the reason I no longer keep my sons monitor on! If he cried we’d hear it (different bedrooms) but the babbling all night would keep me up!
