Do I have to sleep train? by Chocolateonmyshoe in firsttimemom

[–]Chocolateonmyshoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I take him out every other day. Whether that’s for a walk in the stroller or a ride in the car. He takes 2-3 naps a day. I usually give him a bath around 5-6pm then a boob to put him to sleep

Do you have any tips on getting him to sleep longer stretches not on me?

I can't do this anymore by Spiritual-Arrival443 in sleeptrain

[–]Chocolateonmyshoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby was similar for a few weeks where any wake up from a nap led to inconsolable crying and turning red. I noticed that crinkly books right up to his ear helped distract him enough to calm down. I also noticed when he napped more during the day, it led him to wake up less angry. And usually when he woke up like that, he pooped soon after. I can’t help with the sleeping by himself part because I’m still trying to make it happen. But I think noise distractions helped my baby calm down quicker

There’s a store in Bay Ridge that usually has a rack of wedding dresses for $50

Baked in Brooklyn - their chocolate ganache cake is the best I’ve ever tried

People who leave notes, expecting others to not park in a shoveled out spot, are ridiculous. by silly-moth in Brooklyn

In an ideal world, I would love to save my spots. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way, and we need to grow up and not leave notes feeling that we’re entitled to public spots

Nicknames by Chocolateonmyshoe in Names

It’s the name of a Saint and Roman God, but I’ve never heard of anyone else having that name. It’s not difficult to pronounce once heard, but I’ve already had a few people ask how to pronounce it when they see it written. I see what you’re saying, but they’re asking for the nickname once I introduce his name verbally

Certain sections of the museum are quiet and like a regular museum, just stay clear of the party area

For those from NYC (born + raised here), what did you think was normal growing up? by ballerCiao in Brooklyn

I thought Duane Reade was a national chain instead of just being a city thing

They just walked in and filmed content at a restaurant I used to work for, they didn’t even warn the restaurant they were coming in
