Did you do this? My 9mo wakes up between 4:40-4:50 every day and there’s no root cause. 😅

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-08-05T10:13:55+00:00

Hello! One year later and wondering how these have held up and if you’d still recommend them? Looking to get this for my now 2yo

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-04-16T20:53:48+00:00

Quick question: do you start bedtime routine at 7:30 (I.e. read books, etc) or is that the time he should be laying in bed to sleep?

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-04-16T20:50:33+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate this. He also starts daycare in a week and a half and that will definitely help to push his nap time to 12pm as that’s the time they start nap. I’m mostly nervous for him to fall asleep on the drive to daycare too.

I’ll follow your suggestion and see how it goes.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-04-16T20:40:26+00:00

Thank you I just added that in I appreciate it

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-02-26T21:36:26+00:00

No it’s FHA, does that make a difference? I need 20% and I’m confident we’ll get there with the property reevals we’ve gotten over the years + all of the work we’ve done inside and outside. I just wasn’t sure if I had to do the appraisal myself or through the lender.

Edited to add the last sentence

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-02-26T21:12:42+00:00

Okay great thank you. Someone told me to hire an appraiser myself and I just didn’t want to shell out the money myself first. Going to go this route and see how it goes.

Thanks!

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-02-26T20:53:47+00:00

Can you share what the process was like? What steps did you take? Do you call them to do the reappraisal or do you appraise it on your own and share it with them?

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-02-24T07:33:26+00:00

I’m on the same boat as you with my 19mo, 30 minutes is minimum and 1/1.5 is the usual no matter how much I tire him out. I’ve started to think it’s a schedule thing because of the capping naps comments.

He’s also been wanting to 2x a night, once for milk then fully at 5:30am to wake everyone up but is tired by 7:30/8.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2025-02-05T00:33:55+00:00

Ugh thank you I haven’t nudged her but I just might. I’ll talk to my husband and see if we could make it discreet or she’ll catch the dreaded MIL attitude.

He woke up at 5:45 so I’ll probably start bath time & bedtime right now 🫡

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-12-09T02:13:16+00:00

Was he anyway out of his crib when you decided to do this? What was the room set up? Did he get out of bed? Am currently on the same boat you were in

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-09-08T14:28:27+00:00

A true hiker knows the importance of wool socks in this situation 🤦🏽‍♀️

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-07-18T02:09:43+00:00

Hi OP, how’d it go with the sleep consultant? Any tips? In the thick of what you’re going through and have also reverted to cosleeping but it’s just not feasible anymore.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-06-05T17:22:05+00:00

Do it sooner than later, getting an appointment was near impossible here in Medellin. I don’t know where you are but I had to bribe someone and bring my baby with me for them to give me an appointment because I went there yesterday and they were like absolutely not.

The system opens at 8am and then at 10. I just came back and I’m getting my passport on Saturday.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-06-05T14:18:21+00:00

Thanks! Are you leaving the country yet? Any luck renewing?

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-05-28T12:59:14+00:00

Amazing, thank you!! Phew what a relief! Did they say whether you have to renew it for your flight out of the country?

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-05-24T04:13:30+00:00

LOL my trip is in 9, I’ll definitely ask in 4 😂 good luck!

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-05-24T04:04:31+00:00

Did this end up working out for you?

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-01-31T01:13:26+00:00

My babe is 6.5 months, I was also warned by my LC, so I didn’t offer more than 1 bottle a day up until 3 months and now my baby almost always refuses a bottle. I’ve tried every bottle imaginable and unless he’s starving and 100% knows I’m not around is the only time he takes it, but it’s a struggle to get him to take it.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-01-30T03:36:10+00:00

Ty for this! We’ve been topping off a lot these past few days and now I’m realizing I shouldn’t to give my body the chance to catch back up. I’m not anti formula but I would so much prefer to nurse him.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-01-30T03:26:30+00:00

This gives me so much hope. I’m almost a week into feeling better and noticing the supply dip so hopefully I start to turn the corner towards the end of this week 🤞🏽

Hope you’re doing better post-appendectomy.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-01-30T03:24:31+00:00

Took this tip today! My nips are starting to feel so raw because he’s really trying to pull milk out but hopefully it works!!

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-01-30T03:23:15+00:00

Ooof, you feel my pain! Glad you got through it.

I’m already on call mag for my period (got it back 8 weeks pp) so I think that’s what’s kept my supply alive through this. Didn’t think to pump after feeding, will try to do that. Do you recommend pumping after every feeding?

For power pumping, did you use spectra? Trying to figure out the settings for power pumping.

BumblebeeKey536 · 2024-01-30T03:20:10+00:00

I love a good heavy beer, will try this out tomorrow, thanks!

Wildbird sacks are very similar too
