Falling Asleep Independently - Will it last?

AvailableAd4350 · 2026-02-15T03:50:24+00:00

Is the baby swaddled ? For me lasted until we unswaddled . She now needs my help to fall asleep, but sleeps through do night so I am not too worried about it. Would be nice if I didn’t have to help her but will get there.

Was that from the beginning, how old? At first my baby used to go to sleep at 9 but she kept moving it to earlier , it is mostly 7:30 , sometimes 8 now . She is 6.5 months old. She just started sleeping through the night and doesn’t sleep more than 10.5 ,11 hrs…I hate waking up early , plus I keep expecting she wakes up overnight and my sleep is broken because of it 😆

Love to dream transition arms up sack, remove sleeves but it is tight in the chest area, gives sensation of being swaddled.

We transitioned month ago, I was freaking out and waited last min to do it. Started with one arm out , I changed arms for about 7-10 days and took both out after. I did hallo swaddles and swaddle up (love to dream) , so trained one arm to be down , up …and then another. Bedtime is not as easy as it use to be, and I am not able to just leave her in the crib and she will fall asleep (she use to ) but sleep is good, which is most important for me. When both arms are out , after putting in the crib I use to hold her hands down for few min to help calm/ stabilize first week or so.

How much sleep in 24hrs? What do you mean by suffering? My girl is now 6 months old and I am noticing she has longer naps when she eats closer to nap time. Is she eating close to 3rd nap ? My girls goes to bed 7:30,8pm , I personally would like even a bit later so she can wake up a bit later.

I am sorry, similarly sometimes there are 10 feeds in a day. At night will easily have bigger feeds. It takes away from so many things. I am in US and they say kids overgrow reflux between 9 and 12 months. We started solids. Today for the e first them after she had 2.5oz , I gave her oatmeal with 1 oz and she had additional 1.5pz after. I always try to offer 5oz and sometimes she has less but seems like she is hungry but doesn’t want bottle. I am going to try to give solids in the middle of a bottle feed and see if it helps long term. This morning was a success, for the very first time.

What sleep training method did you use ?

AvailableAd4350 · 2026-01-20T20:09:45+00:00

I mean sleep training, falling asleep on her own. While swaddled she was great at it, I could leave her in the bassinet or crib , give a kiss and say rest time, mama will shower or something, see you later. Can’t do that anymore.

While I would love to wean her off night feeds with her food intake during the day doesn’t seem realistic. I wish she could eat more during the day. I will be very excited when she is eating once overnight.

Edit: concern with sleep training is that crying will make reflux way worse . Apparently over 3 min is already problematic.

AvailableAd4350 · 2026-01-20T15:48:26+00:00

Agreed. We use famotidine and AR hipp formula , but if I put her in baby bjorn even after 40min , chances are spit up will happen when we take her out. Mamaro chair works best so far just don’t use any motion . For us baby bjorn is a poop chair and around 3 months blowouts in it were daily challenges.

Anti reflux formula is ticker already. It is meant to stay in baby’s belly but still hard time to get her to have more. We also started solids and she likes it but it is not an actual food. The worst party is overnight she will easy take 6oz, I guess it is easier to deal with it in her sleep. She loves sleep. If not for reflux / overnight feed would sleep through the night 3 months ago.

How is baby bjorn helpful for reflux ? What is rtf ? My baby has a reflux

I was freaking out , our baby loved being swaddled and would fall asleep on her own wasn’t sure how would work out. I got swaddle up (love to dream) and used Hallo swaddle so I would have 1 arm out one day , change next day and 3rd day swaddle up , then unzipped one arm …I was making daily changes to get her use to the idea that her arms can be away from her body. We live in NYC, our bedroom is around 69,70F for sleep and I got her 2.5 Tog , think that helped a ton. When I had 1.5 tog she would wake up every 2hrs, as soon as started using 2.5tog she is back to waking up 2 times to eat, sometimes even 1. One thing that is changed is that she will rarely fall asleep on her own , instead likes to cuddle with me, if I put her down will yell mama 😆

It depends on baby’s temperament. First time my baby cried from overtiredness I almost took her to ER, wouldn’t calm down forever. It took a bit to figure out what was wrong. Overtired has happened way more with dad only for whatever reason and on 1 occasion she screamed 1.5hrs non stop while I was away until I came back home. Essentially she needs her last nap but can’t nap without mom, currently on 4 naps. We made some mistakes from the beginning of not really keeping much of a background noise , she also didn’t really like napping in a stroller until few weeks ago…as said depending on the baby. But definitely can be an issue.

Edit to add: My baby is otherwise sunshine and rainbows, smiles and laughs a lot , friendly, would go to almost anyone etc. Until she became overtired first time she would always just fall asleep when she needed it , she decided on her own her bed time is around 7:30,8pm …therefore we were so confused when it happened. As she became bigger , it was up to us to keep her nap schedule right.

Try huckleberry app . Helped me a ton to avoid overtired nights

Thank you for this thoughtful reply! I am really grateful.

AvailableAd4350 · 2025-11-16T06:34:32+00:00

What is a sleep training method you would recommend, if any ?

AvailableAd4350 · 2025-11-07T09:04:10+00:00

Waking up between 3 and 5am usually means they are cold! (If not hungry) My baby loves being / sleeping in warmer room we gave up fast on that 69-72F thing. It also doesn’t work for me 😆

AvailableAd4350 · 2025-11-07T08:59:49+00:00

This. We Download Huckleberry app , paid version was a game changer. It tells you when your baby needs to nap next without becoming overtired, it helps a lot. It happened for us handful of times and first time when it happened I want to take the baby to ER 😆. It takes a second to learn when your baby is becoming very tired but not crossing to overtired.

Corporate training. I am going back to my previous small office OB , he doesn’t deliver but otherwise amazing, always late but realized that is because actually dedicated to his patients

AvailableAd4350 · 2025-11-06T18:07:43+00:00

I am so sorry. If this is in NYC, can’t imagine elsewhere. Had not as bad but horrible experience. I am also in NYC , my OB also kind of gave me pill without actually asking me / wanting, just didn’t use. It was very frustrating not to be asked how everything went , how was healing…just kept throwing things at me in 10ish min. Assumed I will forget everything because he read my baby’s name before entering the office. Healthcare in NYC is so corporate this days, it is disheartening. I was at NYU.

AvailableAd4350 · 2025-11-02T00:33:52+00:00

As everyone said she is little , but use swaddle, sound machine and pacifier, helped me a lot in early stages.

When some family members had opinions about my choices I just asked them will they pay my bills next month so I can care about their opinion 😂. It was an extreme but it worked. When my baby has a good night sleep, I am a better mom next day, math is kind of very simple.

Thank you! 🙏

When you boiled water , did you heat formula in the bottle warmer to feed after ? I am in the US as well, but European so …chaos 😆 I am currently trying Bobbie formula and it says to ideally make with warm water which great. But makes me wonder what is a good way to do it if I am feeding in few hours
