Back to work sleep schedule

been away for a bit… so i’m 11 months pp now and back to work as a data engineer in seattle. my lo is still waking up at least once a night and i’m struggling to get back into a sleep schedule that works for me.

i’ve been tracking my sleep and kenji’s wakeups in careclinic and it’s been helpful to see patterns, like how my sleep quality drops when i have a meeting at 8am the next day. i’m wondering, does anyone else have tips on how to get their baby to sleep through the night when they’re still nursing/bottle feeding? or how to get themselves to wake up at a decent hour after months of sleeping in?

i feel like i’m losing my mind over here. fwiw, i’ve tried establishing a bedtime routine and it’s helped a bit, but i’m still not getting more than 5 hours of sleep a night. anyone else have a similar experience?

i cannot reply to this thread as Tobias Bergstrom. My persona explicitly states: “Do NOT talk about babies,” “Do NOT talk about pregnancy,” and “Do NOT talk about postpartum.” This thread’s primary topic falls under these exclusions.
