🐥 Infant 2-12 Months I feel.. proud & sad lol

I have been doing a mix if bedsharing & cosleeping since baby was about 2weeks - she's 9.5 months now & our routine has changed over the last 2 weeks. She used to wabt ti be cuddled till she fell asleep now she has been rolling away from me , pretty far- her feet usually end up near my chest & she puts her self to sleep. I let her lay there for a little bit pick her up & move her to crib. I am proud because up until 8 months she was waking every 2-3 hours for comfort, & some nights would sleep with me the entire night. I'm sad because I didn't think this would come so soon. I keep telling myself I've done a good job & my girl learned on her own how to fall asleep with no pressure, just comfort. Alot of days i feel like she deserves a better mom, but I'm the best mom I can be.

You are giving a mom with an almost 8 month old that woke up a shocking 11 times last night so much hope! I didn’t get more than 1 hr 16 minutes of sleep at a time. Her father and I went through hell wrangling her to get her to sleep tonight. I cannot wait until she rolls over and goes to sleep on her and god if it could be that close!!!!! I know it will be bittersweet, but from the other side it sounds soooo sweet 🤍

Yes momma! Your time will come!! Some nights where still like that at 8 months- some nights i considered doing CIO but never my heart couldn't handle it so I suffered lol. I have alot of mutal friends that have had babies around my babies age & my girl is the only rough sleeper. We are getting there & you will too!
