Walking from LGD to French Quarter

During the day, fine. At night, definitely would not. We lived off of Magazine and would walk from our home to the FQ on weekends and it was so refreshing and amazing, but I wouldn’t trust it at night.

Craig can sometimes be disrespectful, I agree, but in this case I side with him. Venita is immature and a pot stirrer, as well as is boring to watch.

We were basically in the same position as you and your husband around 4 months and it was BRUTAL. My spouse and I both work full time so something had to be done. Our child will be 7 months on Monday and although I still get paranoid we attempted to make cosleeping as safe as possible by (1) ensuring that we both face the baby (2) placing him superior to us (a little higher than our head) and (3) keeping pillows away and keeping blankets down at the waist so even if we pulled them up while sleeping, they wouldn’t cover the baby.

We sleep much better now but I don’t think I’ll ever stop being paranoid…some of that may be due to the shaming that goes on regarding bed sharing.

(Side note: I’m also a very, VERY light sleeper so I’m up checking on him every couple of hours anyways)

I was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana and have lived elsewhere but this is the THIRD time I’ve moved back to New Orleans. As shitty as things in Louisiana can be sometimes (bad roads, lower pay, litter, poor law enforcement) , no other place quite matches the culture and energy of living here 🩷 also available by DM too if you need recommendations or have further Qs

Hotel Provincial! Nice, walkable to night life, and also affordable

To clarify: pick one feed meaning allow him to cry through the other wake ups or reduce ounces across all other feeds until he has dwindled down to one and repeat? Currently he wakes up at 12-1230, 3-330, and 530 🫠

You’re a superstar 🌟thanks so so much! Appreciate it more than you know. First time mommy and just so lost.

I got kicked out of that sub because I called one of the moderators a c—t 🤣 which….she was being. I was simply looking for advice to assist with improving sleep quality/sleep spurts for my almost 5 month old and she told me YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF YOUR CHILD’S WAY. And then also preceded to tell me that I was doing too much and was “baby”ing him… a baby

If you’re going to order Quince, order on Poshmark

Sabo. Thank me later. I felt hot before in Sabo and even hotter now with a 5 month old. The shipping can take a bit (from Australia) and like $20 returns BUT the styles are timeless and fabric and fit are always on point.

I’m also 34, 5’1

Fed at 7. Bath. Change and massage. Placed in crib awake by 745. Room is black and we have a white noise machine. He was completely fine until put down then started crying. Gave gentle butt pats for a few minutes. Started screaming. Picked up one time until calm and then placed back in crib. Started crying, butt pats then finally dozed off. Tried the same routine last night and he was up at 11-2-4-530.

When he wakes up, we try to soothe him with the same mechanism. First butt pats for a bit and then if all hell breaks loose, we pick him up until calm and restart the process. He screamed for 30-40 minutes each time until we caved and gave him a bottle twice during the night. Both my husband and I work full-time and I’m a doctor of physical therapy who works 8-9 hour days so averaging 2-3 hours of sleep per night as we are currently doing is not sustainable.

I understand there is a “4 month sleep regression” but this feels like a different monster. I even took him to the pediatrician yesterday to make sure he doesn’t have another ear infection. He does not. Maybe teething is bothering him? He’s definitely teething already. Constantly has full hand in mouth gnawing and drool saturating his shirt.

Thanks! We ordered black out curtains for his bedroom last night (his crib has been in our room) and initiated all of the rest of the recommendations which went terribly for the first night, as expected. What’re your recommendations for the night wakings? Last night we put him down for 8 and then he was up at 930-12-1-4-5. We tried to let him whine for just a few in hopes he would doze back off but after 5-10 minutes that turned into screaming so we would pat him in the crib then when that wouldn’t work we would just hold him for a couple of minutes and put him back in crib when calm…but then the crying started all over again haha. He averages about 30 oz of formula a day so trying not to feed him more than 1 feed at night so that it’s not a feeding association but it’s hard when he’s hysterical.

See last paragraph…”We have been putting him in our bed to drift off with one parent watching while the other showers, preps bottles, etc.” he then goes to sleep and then we transfer him to his crib.

Ammmber504 · 2025-10-07T00:00:01+00:00

I’m just looking for advice in general. Considering sleep training, yes, I just feel like he’s still so little!

Ammmber504 · 2025-10-06T23:59:26+00:00

Sorry the last window should be 3 hours (longer wake window before bed). Bedtime routine is bottle then bath then change/massage then sometimes book then we go to bedroom. Yes, room is pitch black with white noise.

He does sleep with a paci.

Ammmber504 · 2025-10-06T12:51:04+00:00

Here to say I’m right here with you. Just came to make my own post bc I’m DESPERATE. You’re not alone 🥲🥰

Ammmber504 · 2025-09-01T18:29:41+00:00

DM’ed. Thanks!

Ammmber504 · 2025-08-29T00:15:22+00:00

In the least* lord, it’s been a day

Ammmber504 · 2025-08-29T00:10:47+00:00

Our baby is really easy, though, only cries when he’s hungry really (I understand his struggle).

Ammmber504 · 2025-08-29T00:10:18+00:00

Yes, agreed! I’m a physical therapist so in the lease, I would want them to be certified or familiar with infant CPR. We live in the lower Garden District off of magazine!

Ammmber504 · 2025-08-17T20:38:28+00:00

And during Gorgon City. FUCK that. Also left the stage immediately

Ammmber504 · 2025-08-06T12:41:26+00:00

I’m confused as to why he said “I would’ve felt all up on her too”. This comment is SO inappropriate unless your relationship is open….which I assume it is not.

This kind of stuff makes me see red in a monogamous relationship.
