@the.presentdad: Currently in the trenches of the four-month sleep regression, and I’m starting to think sleep was a luxury we took for granted. Between the middle-of-the-night bottles, walking laps around the house, and trying to figure out what he needs, we’re just taking it one night at a time. #dadlife #fatherhood #dadsoftiktok #presentdad #parenthood

Those first few months made me understand why sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture. The sleeping does get better. And while you are correct that he’s not giving you a hard time, he’s having a hard time, you are also having a hard time. Give yourself grace, you’re both doing your best, and that’s nothing to feel guilty about

Have you checked a tongue tie or made sure he’s not allergic to the formula? Or maybe gas?

Thank you for sharing “he’s not giving me a hard time, he’s having a hard time”. That gives me a new perspective on my baby when she’s also like this

I have a 5 year old and starting all over with an 11 week old right now. It's ok to be surviving not thriving in the first year. It's ok to live him but not like him sometimes. It ok to just do your best. You've got this.

I've been there. it's really tough. sometimes I'd just do bedtime routine again, bath, new nappy, new onesie (maybe the old one was slightly uncomfortable or a seem was rubbing the wrong way), try milk again, sing a song and pat/rock to sleep again. it didn't always work, but it helped me calm my brain down enough to keep trying

My son does this, but with breastfeeding instead of a bottle. What I learned about him is that when he does that he’s full, and he’s really just having a hard time falling asleep. That then makes him super crabby and inconsolable. It’s not always about hunger. So I would put the bottle down, swaddle him, pat his butt or whatever helps get him to sleep.

You don’t know me brother, but I’m proud of you. You’re in the trenches of it right now but keep going. Not to be corny.. but it’s all worth it, because the first time that baby calls you dada you will forget all the hard nights.

Do you have family or friends that is available to come over just for a few hours so you can shower and sleep? I have a four week old I know it’s hard.

the 4 month sleep regression was TERRIBLE with my daughter. it passes just as quick as it came. my daughter is 7 months now and things are so much easier all around.

Like every dad. We’ve all been there. Some times it gets worse. Colic not eating. But I promise you one thing. In a year. You’re gonna miss these nights. The small cuddles. The full dependency. It sucks. But embrace the suck.

Enjoy it. It’s rare now when our son wakes up and we get to rock him back to sleep, those are the good nights

It will pass, just a chapter. Days turn to weeks, weeks to months, you will blink and that period is over. Hard when your in the thick of it. You got it

We JUST got out of the regression and idk how it’s possible but I miss it. I felt guilty for wanting to get through it too, but I promise you will and youll look back and wonder if you could have some how soaked up even more of it. I finally just started looking at it as more time with my baby where we get to learn even more about each other

We just had our first baby on the 17th. She’s everything I could’ve ever dreamed for. That being said, she will only nap on one of us. This girl will not sleep unless she is being held. I did not realize the first couple months of her life would be never getting to lay in bed with my husband. It’s hard. I’m so honored to be her safe space, but I wish she felt safe in the bassinet beside our bed lol

To look at raising a kid as a chore makes it one. To look at it as a blessing, even in the hardest time, makes it one. Remember that brother. Hold your head up, you’ll do great.
