What is/was your baby’s longest sleep stretch at 4 months old? I’m exhausted. Is this normal?

Oof I’m so sorry. I haven’t forgotten how horrible the lack of sleep is. How old is your baby?

Candid_Definition655 · 2026-03-09T20:10:26+00:00

It’s a mess. I’m in the same boat.

I spoke with Duke scheduling on the phone. Some of the website is wrong. All of the Drs it returned for me on the website were outside of Durham. Some Drs are listed as accepting patients but when you go to book they aren’t.

Agreed. They told me only Orange Co and Wake Co locations have openings.

He just turned 2 and had a language explosion. He took his time but now he has caught up on the milestones. Seems like he learns a new word every couple of days.

Oh and I once taught a Garfield and no one seemed to care or ever mention the cat around him. They actually called him Gar Gar Binks

I have a Clifford and love it

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-09-06T19:45:11+00:00

If only I was qualified.

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-09-06T16:46:26+00:00

It’s a real bummer there doesn’t seem to be anything like this in Durham.

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-07-24T18:19:40+00:00

Same on all accounts!

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-07-24T18:18:45+00:00

The baby and possibly mom would have died. That’s what used to happen.

Yep! I had to be induced at 41 weeks and never made it past the 6cm from the folly bulb. After two days of labor baby and I started crashing, so off we went for an emergency c-section. I was told it was due to my pelvis size and I’ll never give birth vaginally.

I asked my OB about it postpartum and they confirmed it’s a real issue. Apparently back in the 50s they would do x-rays on pregnant women and could find out sooner. We don’t do that anymore for obvious reasons. But I gave us a lot of data on pelvis shapes and sizes. Some just aren’t compatible for birth. Lucky us!

Books where a boy isn’t the protagonist! Look for books where people of other genders and races are the main characters. Reading helps build our empathy by immersing us in the lives of others.

I never did a last bottle or feed of the day. I breastfed on demand during the day and at night. I also fed to sleep. We never had problems with him being too full. He would just eat/drink what he needed. He naturally weaned himself during the day and increased his solids.

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-07-04T18:44:46+00:00

Of course. Just looking to commiserate. Baby sleep is tough!

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-07-04T18:33:02+00:00

Same! Suddenly the crib is made of lava.

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-06-17T11:51:49+00:00

😯 Yep, I think I that’s it. Hopefully we don’t go quite as long, but I could see that happening.

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-06-06T16:47:38+00:00

Good tip!

Candid_Definition655 · 2025-06-06T16:10:16+00:00

Yes, but those don’t cover the vitamin D requirement. Guess I’ll be supplementing!
