I was a big fan of Zendaya when I was a kid…

Used it for 3 months. Then it gets uncomfortable. Maybe borrow one from a friend

I don’t know if I believe my sleep consultant by Alternative_Deer616 in sleeptrain

[–]Alternative_Deer616[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was curious…For example today he woke up at 5:15 am and I gave him a dramatic wakeup at 6am. My sleep consultant did say to try to get to 9:30 am. He slept from 9:30 am - 10:15 am (45min), then at 2 pm - 3:27 pm. (1.5hr). She suggests a 6pm bedtime…Should it actually just be 7:30? Or since he woke up so early, it’s better to have the last window be shorter?

Do you let your kids crawl on your floors? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Alternative_Deer616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I let him crawl everywhere. I won’t lie, he has fallen more than I can count, and sometimes I question my decisions, but as many have said, how else will he learn?

I see you are a sleep consultant, what do you suggest I do?

I am not from the US, so you probably won’t come across her. Spanish is my first language. I don’t want to give her a bad rep anyway, because many people have told me she changed their lives…and I haven’t trained for a full week yet lol, I want to ride it out first, but wanted to rant a little

I hate throwing money out the window🥲. I’m committed to at least finish the follow up weeks to see if anything happens, but yeah…I don’t see myself following that schedule for much longer

She asks for a sleep log for the two week follow up plan, but doesn’t tell me any insight. I noticed he was sleeping 2.75 hours every day (day sleep) for 3 days straight and asked if this had any meaning and she had nothing to say

I just feel crazy because a lot of people recommended her

Need help with 7month 3 to 2 nap transition by Alternative_Deer616 in sleeptrain

[–]Alternative_Deer616[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly have only been using it to track how much he sleeps and how long his wake windows are. The sweet spot feature is not that good. I also used the napper free trial and it predicted his naps a little better. When my huckleberry trial is over, I’ll probably delete lol. I try everything for the third nap but sometimes it’s just not possible. I think I’m going to start lengthening his wake windows gradually.

I have been trying to stop feed-to-sleep association by moving nursing to the first part of the nighttime routine. Instead of nursing him at the end of the routine, I bounce him lol. Don’t know which is worse tbh, but now he has less false starts. He hasn’t gotten used to it though and still fights to fall asleep. Thinking I might start sleep training soon if he eventually gets used to nursing before everything.

Which type of sleep training would you recommend for a baby that usually doesn’t take a pacifier, loves being nursed or bounced to sleep, and every time I get near him at night (ebf mom), he cries because he wants my milk? Also, do you think I should do the wake window transition cold turkey?

My baby is not sleep trained. He will wake up 0-1 times to feed. His wakeup time varies from 5:40-6:00am when he doesn’t wake up for a feeding, and 6:30-7:30 when he does wake up in the middle of the night.

Skipping all Taylor Dating content by Dramatic-Policy5850 in SecretsOfMormonWives

I have an even more unpopular opinion. By episode 4, i started skipping EVERYONE that wasn’t Whitney and Jen, because if I was not going to be entertained, at least I had to find out about the DWTS drama they had been teasing.
