I am gonna have my baby niece for an entire week and take care of her.

She wakes up like 7 times at night, and more than that during day time.

That's gonna be the toughest part because my mental illness gets worse when I don't get enough rest. And I have a sleep disorder that entails extreme personality changes when people wake me in the first cycle.

Don't know how I am going to do it. I might pay someone to help with that.

Keep her up in the day the most you possibly can, especially later. My kids all slept between 10-12 hours as babies(obviously not immediately). That’s without naps though 😂

@Miram Does she eat well? Baby cereal?

Miram · 31-35, F

@MellyMel22 Oatmeal cereal , certain fruits and veggies. She is chubby baby.

I hope it goes better than you expect it to 🤍

Having a back up might help you.

Is she in a routine darling?
Limit her nap times during the day. You say she is having 2 naps. half each nap length than her normal amount she sleeps. Also try feeding her dinner late just before her bedtime. Keep her swaddled
Hope it helps

@Miram also how many naps does she have during the day?

Miram · 31-35, F

@InOtterWords she sleeps about two times. Sometimes three.

I had to cancel and hire someone for her where she is at.

I suspect i have covid after sore throat hours ago and heart palpitations .

I had patients three days ago that might have had asymptomatic covid.

How young is she? Sleep when she sleeps. It does help.

@V00doo

6 months. Interrupted sleep cycle is bad for me. Worse than not sleeping at all.

@Miram Ah no
