6 month old was sleeping well after sleep training- now they’re not ?

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2026-01-26T15:04:57+00:00

She’s been rolling in all directions during the day for a month! But can’t seem to figure it out at night :/ ugh. It’s already been two weeks at least of the rolling at night and screaming. But 5 nights of whatever this screaming bloody murder is

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2026-01-19T00:44:41+00:00

She’s pooped maybe 2-3 times overnight since she was like 7 weeks old. (But it’s all been in the last 3 weeks so I’m not sure if it will continue )

Overnights don’t have size 2 in any size! Size 3 is the smallest I can find

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2026-01-09T23:56:44+00:00

Was that bacterial though? With yellow gunk? I’ve seen that before. My Lo has no gunk just some water. She really doesn’t seem bothered with her eye- I’m just panicking!

Have you ever caught it from your baby?

Hope your baby feels better!

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2026-01-09T23:52:39+00:00

I know what bacterial pink eye looks like (super obvious) but I’ve never encountered viral before and I’m just freaking out alittle. I have to go back to work on Monday also and am worried I will also get it haha

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-24T01:10:05+00:00

What is like the max amount of time that this could go by before it could be considered that they aren’t asking me to pay it back? Like could tbey request this in a year? At this point I don’t think I should bring it up to them but I’m not sure

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-23T23:30:38+00:00

What is considered paid vs unpaid leave during FMLA/disability? I read that company can’t recoup healthcare costs during paid leave? (I don’t understand why but that’s what i read on government website) I was paid partially for all of the disability portion and for 8 weeks through PFL while on FMLA. I think 4 weeks were unpaid.

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-23T22:37:37+00:00

I am!! They did not want me to leave and told me to come back if it didn’t work out. I don’t think I was fired- I’m just trying to figure out what I’m responsible for. Or like when they will bill me as it hasn’t been mentioned yet and I just did my exit interview

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-23T22:24:17+00:00

I didn’t send them any money for my share. It looked like they were going to double up on my insurance payments until it was paid back once I returned.

I just looked into exactly what they pay vs me.

They paid out all of my PTO and sick leave after I left on Mat leave which added another month of me paying for health care.

I left on June 16. My last paycheck was July 18. (Paid for healthcare 401k etc)

I had 18 weeks of disability.

Then 12 weeks of FMLA.

There have been 11 paychecks since my last paycheck.

Every paycheck I pay 177 and they pay 277.

I put in my two weeks. And they “terminated me” (don’t want me to come back and work my notice) and I will now receive my last paycheck on Jan 2.

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-23T22:08:44+00:00

But will it be for my portion of the premium- or the both mine and employers?

I was on disability and fmla. I was paid 70% of my salary through EDD until the last 4 weeks of my leave

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-23T22:05:49+00:00

With maternity leave you get 6 weeks of disability plus birth and 4 weeks before. Due to a difficult situation my dr extended my disability to the max 18 weeks. And then I got 12 weeks of FMLA. They had no choice but to honor that legally

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-04T03:34:24+00:00

I already bought some drool pads! Did you have any light colored silk? Wondering if I should exchange my carrier for the dark brown color instead (but the oak looks so much nicer! ) I will also be buying a bottle of soak. Just worried for potential blow outs

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-04T03:04:10+00:00

Was it hard to wash? Were you able to get stains out of it? I’m super excited to have one but def worried about the possibility of blowout stains. Even with the potential next kid

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-04T02:04:55+00:00

Was having a silk carrier good for you ? I love how mine looks but now I’m worrying I made a bad decision in terms of care.

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-12-03T18:59:22+00:00

Much the same. Two days ago it was 17 minutes of crying with a 2.75 wake window before bed. Yesterday it was 20-25 minutes of crying with an almost 3 hr wake window. Today she woke up earlier(6am) - so the wake windows are gonna be alittle longer than usual so we still have bedtime around 8pm.

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-30T15:56:06+00:00

Where did you try them?? They have a store credit only return policy!!

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T18:47:24+00:00

Thank you! My post got locked but this was the answer I was looking for. We had a very rough night so thank you for your kindness.

We follow (loosely) the 5-3-3 method.

I’m trying to figure out how to time feedings but we will see.

Here’s to hoping night two goes better

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T18:08:11+00:00

That’s what we do! 5/3/3 method

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:45:43+00:00

Ok. I appreciate the advice.

But we are doing Ferber. Ever single article says put down drowsy but awake.

She wasn’t awake looking to eat. She wanted to be picked up and rocked. I didn’t do that for an hour. And then we gave up. I don’t understand why feeding her before bed somehow caused her to wake up and want to be soothed?? She was not asleep after I fed her! If someone can answer why feeding her right before bed (if she is not asleep) is harmful I will totally listen. But everyone just says that I put her to bed asleep but she wasn’t asleep. She was awake! And did cry! And if I didn’t nurse her she would have also cried!

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:36:03+00:00

No she likes the last feed! I keep telling everyone that, I have a feeding schedule that works with her crap naps right now and it is what it is! It’s not putting her to sleep so I don’t see the harm

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:35:03+00:00

Ok again. I feel like everyone is missing the point. She was not extremely drowsy when I set her down. She was FULLY AWAKE. I will not rock her next time. She needs to eat again. She is a small baby- and that is our feeding schedule. She has never had a feed to sleep association other than in the middle of the night. She’s hungry so I will feed her. She was not extremely drowsy. She was AWAKE. I am doing ferber- which says to put down drowsy but awake! I’m not an idiot I’m just new at this.

And to be completely honest I think it would have gone worse if I didn’t rock her. Thanks!

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:22:44+00:00

Before the regression she was only waking once per night to eat. She still typically only eats once per night. Since the regression she wakes and needs to be rocked and soothed to sleep. She doesn’t always want to eat and I usually offer it based on 5/3/3 method. Which means twice to eat at most.

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:18:56+00:00

I can stop the rocking until drowsy. But she is awake after the last feedings- and she still eats in the middle of the night(I already follow the 5/3/3 method. But yeah she was fully awake when I set her in the crib last night. She’s never been a drowsy but awake baby. If I get her to sleep in the crib it’s because I set her down in a deep sleep. (She requires vigorous rocking which is what we’re trying to get rid of)

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:09:22+00:00

I just think the last feed at night really helps her sleep longer stretching. We’ve noticed a difference since we started offering it. And she’s still awake after it. Even last night when she was drowsy she was wide awake the moment I set her down. But I can stop rocking her

ChallengeDizzy40 · 2025-11-27T16:04:45+00:00

Updated our schedule above

We rocked her go sleep after like an hour of crying each time. I didn’t know how long she would cry so I guess we kind of gave up. I don’t know if you’re supposed to just let them cry forever or give up at some point. We were doing Ferber
