My baby won’t sleep unless it’s in a teddy bear onesie. Help!
My baby would go about 8+ hours without sleep for weeks. Contact, feed to sleep, rocking, shushing, pats, bouncing, bargaining, begging, pacifier, black out room, swaddle, sleep sack, 69-72 degrees, everything. Did. Not. Matter. Then one day I put her in that bear onesie from target. You know with the hood and mittens? Out like a light.
You may think I’m a bad mom, but I’ve let her sleep in it since. Don’t get me wrong, my husband and I have tried time and time again to transition her to a sleep sack. We will be super consistent and not give in but after a few days to a week or so I am so fried from her screaming and refusing to sleep and nap I give in. Fine. I’ve tried alterations for safety. Cutting off the hood. Haha no. Hates it. Sack and fuzzy onesie with the mittens from said headless bear as mittens. Also no.
This child has a will that cannot be broken. I, however, am being mentally pummeled.
Now, she’s 5 months old and we have been trying so hard to get her out of that damn bear and sleep in a sack. She can roll very well in and out of the bear. She rubs her face in the hood and rubs her face with the mittens as she’s falling asleep. I’ve tried rubbing her face with a baby blanket, teaching her to use the ear of a bunny stuffie on her face also. She only wants the hood and the mittens. But attached.
Also if she isn’t in it, she slaps her face and messes with her binky until she loses her little mind. It’s like she can’t calm her hands. Idk what to do. It’s like we are in the purple phase again anytime we try and change this.
What do I do? I feel like the worst mom. She has been such a difficult baby for so many reasons but this one… I’m scared to let my mom friends come over because of the judgement and I’m embarrassed that maybe I really am just a bad mom who’s baby is difficult in every way because I’m weak and don’t just deal with her screaming for hours every day for months until I lose my mind and she gives in.
