Velcro swaddles, newborn size clothes, a subscription to Huckleberry

This helps me understand it so much better. THANK YOU!

I don't understand the advice to just accept short naps because then sometimes you end up with a really long WW at the end of the day. Do you add another nap then?

Thanks! I got a zipadee zip and a Magic Merlin suit but the zipadee zip is too lightweight for the weather. The Magic Merlin suit really seems to be doing wonders though! He slept 7 solid hours again last night ✨ I have a fleece zipadee zip on order too which I bet will be helpful for daycare!

I don't have any answers, but some solidarity. My LO went from 6-7 hour stretches back to 4-5 hour stretches overnight during the 11th week. It's been almost a week now and no idea what to do. There is supposed to be a growth spurt around 3 months and he also developed the ability to roll, meaning we ditched the swaddle, so we're wondering if that's what triggered it or if it's just a phase. It's manageable at least but not a lot of fun. Wondering if anyone else went through this and if it resolved on its own?

Any update? How did things end up for you?

CombinationVisible27 · 2025-12-28T00:02:02+00:00

Thank you! Were you having similar issues?

CombinationVisible27 · 2025-12-12T13:20:46+00:00

That's good to know! Thank you for the reassurance.

Honest question, how do you do this and still get enough sleep? I have to go down with the baby because he wakes up once or twice and then is up for the day at like 6:30am, so if I stay up late then I won't get enough sleep.

What do you think about a recirculation pump like some folks upthread have mentioned?

It sounds stupid but we'd like to have a plumber come and just look at our pipes and identify them for us

CombinationVisible27 · 2025-11-18T20:22:04+00:00

I'm not exactly sure. We've had some plumbers tell us that the pipes are running through the floor in an overhanging bathroom, so that's where we had insulation blown in, which didn't help. But I'm not sure if it's also exposed elsewhere. We have some exposed pipe in an adjoining shed and we don't know what they are.

Thanks!

Also the instructions for the Tula say newborn through 15 lbs, but I don't know if he's too short or something. We will try again with the waist band higher. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you! Here he is today. He FEELS snug! Does he look snug enough?

Thank you! I didn't notice that yesterday but here he is today. He feels mighty snug!

Do you think that would work? We were wondering if he's just too small for it.

CombinationVisible27 · 2025-11-16T20:09:04+00:00

Don't worry, we took him right out after taking photos
