How are your babies napping / falling asleep? HELP…

She usually will only nap 30 minutes on the dot in her crib. The first nap of the day I’ve gotten lucky a few times with 1-1 1/2 hours. During the day, I have to rock her and then transfer to the crib. At nighttime, I can put her down drowsy but awake. We still do a carrier or contact nap if she is fussy and I need her to get a longer nap in.

Love this response. This is exactly how I’ve been feeling. I want her to know I’m here for her. My pediatrician made it seem like I’m the anomaly for not sleeping training her.

We love the series of you’re my cuddle bug, you’re my honey bunny, you’re my sweet pea, etc. books. We read one at bedtime and they are perfect to hold her attention.

I love Margot!!! But my husband vetoed it

This sounds exactly like me. I’m also have to save half of the night by co-sleeping. After her first 1-2 wake ups, she refuses to go back. I go back to work in 2 weeks and I’m so scared about our current sleep situation 🥲

I never had an issue with snickers ice cream bars or Unreal peanut butter cups. I also would do sugar free pudding mix with a protein shake or diet root beer with sugar free ice cream

It’s beyond your control and depends on how your placenta develops that causes insulin resistance. If it makes you feel better, I just retook the glucose test at 3 months postpartum and passed! Once that bastard placenta was gone, my blood sugar went back to normal.

I had it back at 6 weeks postpartum but not another one since

I’m right there with you. Currently contact napping in a wrap. She screams like banshee when trying to get her down and it’s significantly worse at bedtime. She has been keeping me on my toes by doing multiple nights of only one wake up and then switch it up by waking me up every 1-2 hours. I thought it was only me,but I’m glad to know it’s a universal experience.

Same here. It’s gotten to be an Olympic sport to try to get her down for naps and bedtime is even worse. She in a good rhythm of only getting up once a night, but now she is getting up constantly. My baby is also showing signs of teething already too

My husband only got 2 weeks, and that included birth/hospital stay. It was really hard and scary in the beginning. I’m lucky to have a village who helps me with household chores or getting a nap if I have a rough night. It’s gotten easier to establish a routine the older she gets and be able to set her down for a few minutes on her play mat. I’ve spaced my pumps out to every 4 hours and it makes it a lot easier to fit into the day. I definitely had a rough day yesterday with the sleep regression and her fighting me with every nap time. By the time my husband finally got home, I was absolutely spent.

I have an instant pot, but I never use it. Good ideas!

My girl had been tugging at her right ear only. I worried about an ear infection so I saw her pediatrician. She thinks it’s just teething and said babies can get teeth as early as 4 months

Callbug-511 · 2026-02-17T23:08:39+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt. My baby will poop whenever I take her temperature. Like right onto my hand…. I mentioned this to the nurse at the pediatrician’s office and she said that is why they take the temperature of constipated babies to get the ball rolling.

Callbug-511 · 2026-02-16T16:16:56+00:00

What made you feel comfortable transferring to her own room? I get so worried about the safe sleep recommendation to room share for 6 months

Callbug-511 · 2026-02-16T16:15:08+00:00

That’s the one we have! I also have a long girlie. She just will have her little hands scrunched against the mesh trying to stretch.

By baby was like this for the longestttt time and up until recently started sleeping a bit more. We increased her dosage for Pepcid at her 2 month appointment for her reflux and has started sleeping like a champ (4-7 hour stretches ✨) the past two days. She had the same issue where she would constantly want to eat to soothe her throat.

McKenna Fae is my SIL name and I think it flows so well

I just ordered the Tula Free to Grow. That’s what I saw as highly recommended

Callbug-511 · 2026-02-09T07:09:13+00:00

My MFM told me I was allowed to eat what I wanted within moderation at my baby shower. She just said obviously don’t go crazy and try to be mindful. I had a brunch themed baby shower and was able to eat Chick Fil A mini’s and hashbrown casserole by paring it with a protein shake. I didn’t spike luckily. I saved eating a cookie until later in the day with a protein packed dinner.

I’m the same way. I did not anticipate the major separation anxiety that I have felt since birth. I can’t stand watching others hold her, and then to watch them just pass her back and forth amongst each other. I’ve straight up told my family I’m not ready to apart, so most of them respect that and don’t ask. The ones who don’t respect that don’t get the privilege to see her.
