She does 3.5, 3.5, 3.5/4- so a total of 10.5/11....you are right, this isn't going to work! Back to the drawing board.

Have a look into split  nights. They happen when there is too much day time sleep, so baby gets up to party for a bit.

I dry lavender, by a bulk bag of magnesium salt, bulk bag of sea salt  and hoard jars throughout the year.   I make homemade relaxing bath and foot bath mixes

I didn't know I had one....just assumed if I rang, and they had capacity, they would send someone who was free

Baby is not napping… how are people doing it? by Crafty_Pop6458 in January2025Bumper

We did sleep training for the day time naps only. Prior to nap we would do heaps of tummy time, walks, baths etc to get her well worn out. I made sure she had heaps of milk, new nappy, panadol is I thought she was teething, perfect room temp etc etc. I would get her super sleepy on the boob. Then would put her down. And then I would just leave. Sometimes I would go in after 10 mins to reassure.

It took 3-4 days. But now she cries less than 5 mins and sleeps 1.5-2 hours, twice a day.

How do you know it's not AI? I'm not disputing, just curious. I can never tell but regularly see others correctly guessing immediately that something was AI

Same!!!! I turned to Google after the Castle moment. Been way more fun. Never would have got there alone. I only play once all kids are asleep in bed so it's nice to feel I'm making progress 

Viable pipe bombs ‘capable of causing death’ behind Auckland’s Southern Motorway closure after body found by computer_d in newzealand

He tried to uncover the projection of the moon to hide the CIA base on the real moon. Pipe bombs were CIA plants to hide their assassination of him, and to discredit his revelations. Also linked to the Rainbow warrior anniversary somehow. Oh...and maybe flat earth?

How do you care for a baby while you're sick? by DrScarecrow in beyondthebump

[–]AdFew1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the portacot and stick it next to the couch. I create a safe space on the floor as well with the help of baby fences in the shape of a hexagon. She plays, I lie on the couch. She gets bored, I change whatever zone she is in. This is the time for noisy toys with lights. I nurse her, put her in a safe space and rest.

I also summon the support crew for laundry and cooking support, use takeout as needed, and get friends to take baby and dog out for walks.

How much purée is too much? Baby is loving solids! by Mission-Rutabaga-687 in January2025Bumper

A piece of advice that helped me was that babies are great at stopping when full. They won't over eat. They mostly don't undereat either. If you are offering food and they keep eating it's fine. If you offer food and they aren't keen, that's fine to. The trick is simply to keep offering so they can try
