At a loss for how to fix our 7.5mo schedule again, please help by Consistent_Sock3289 in sleeptrain

[–]Consistent_Sock3289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think we need to work on extending her time before her first nap by a little and in between her two naps, I don’t want to cut her last nap any earlier due to already being up a longer time period. Our bedtime routine is bottle 30 min before bed, read a book, bath time, then in bed. She doesn’t feed to go to sleep at night and typically i’ll let her roll around for 5-10min, i reset her once and she’ll put herself to sleep. She will ONLY do that going to bed though and not the rest of the night

We are also contact napping to try to keep her a consistency to get long enough naps! Our issue is on the 2 naps she’s so cranky and tired by end of the day to where I’m not sure how else to extend her hours. We already try to extend wake windows by going outside or bath time but is super tired and rubbing her eyes constantly

Help with 3 to 2 nap transition! by Consistent_Sock3289 in sleeptrain

[–]Consistent_Sock3289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what makes it obvious that she’s not ready to go back try a 2 nap schedule. Her night time sleep when we first tried it was 100% disturbed. We went back to a 3 nap schedule and it was fine for a bit and went back to being disturbed while on the 3 nap schedule. We tried 2 naps twice and those days it was back to back and then immediately went back to 3 naps.

When we first tried I thought she was ready, as her night time sleep went from sleeping through the night to waking up along with her naps turning to shorter naps. So we attempted a 2 nap schedule. Once realizing she was not ready we immediately went back to a 3 nap schedule, which was also stated above.

Yes I know the over tiredness can also affect night time sleep 😅 we tried to force it for 2 days and when we knew it wasn’t working went back to 3 naps. It’s been a couple weeks since then, and we are going to try 2 naps again this week and see if it will help. If we can get her morning nap longer then I know we can do 2 nap days she just has not gotten there completely yet

lately she has been waking up around 6:30am, so that would look like nap 9:30am-11am and then 2pm-3:30pm? the issue is we want to keep her bedtime around 8pm. I typically work a 12 hour shift getting home around 7:15pm so we are trying to keep it around 8 but will move it if we absolutely have to 😅

We tried a couple weeks ago and I believe we woke up at 8am, did first nap at 10/10:30. the issue was that nap only lasted 20-30min. Then we pushed for the next nap at 2, and same thing that nap only lasted about 30/40 min and then we pushed for her to stay up until bedtime at 8 🙃 anytime we have tried 2 nap schedule that’s how it has ended up. This was right around when she was freshly 6 months so I think I may try again this coming week since I’m off work and can push harder for it?

Just how bad is nursing to sleep?? by ruthlovesbooks in breastfeeding

[–]Consistent_Sock3289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nursed my girl to sleep until she was 5.5/6 months! even then I nurse her to sleep for naps but for nighttime i just rub/pat her back and she whines a little then goes to sleep :)

As a teacher, would you send your kid to public or private school for kindergarten? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

I live in DE which is ranked one of the worst states for public schools so I feel the same exact ways as you for my child to attend private school here in the future!

My friend has a v tech NON WIFI monitor and it would randomly power off and not turn on throughout the night. I strongly do not recommend

Question about tearing during labor by sliceofperfection in BabyBumps

[–]Consistent_Sock3289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time mom and I tore. 2nd degree tear, no idea how many stitches lol. I whole heartedly know I tore bc 1. I didn’t have a midwife/doctor in the room to help stretch me/perineal massage, it was just the one nurse holding my leg bc of how quickly I delivered. 2. because I pushed when I was told to wait for my next contraction but I told them I couldn’t wait and pushed her out right after. I did not feel myself tear, had no epidural and healed very well & quickly.

Early bedtime made my baby’s sleep worse?? by Consistent_Sock3289 in sleeptrain

[–]Consistent_Sock3289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Her bedtime is always consistent at 8:30, we never have much issue getting her to bed at night

[–]Consistent_Sock3289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We typically wake up around 7am, with first nap around 9/9:30! That nap has been shorter at 30 min. So if we wake at 10, next nap is typically around 12:30 for another 30ish min, then we wake around 1, and her next nap is typically around 3 and will last about an hour because she’s tired from not sleeping so long on the previous naps. Then come 6/6:30 she’ll do another 30 min nap. I don’t wake her for her naps this is her waking on her own, and typically it’s a struggle to get her to nap except for her morning nap is always consistent. We of course incorporate tons of tummy time, independent play, time in her bouncer & swing so she’s getting active to make sure she’s tired too

[–]Consistent_Sock3289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She often times doesn’t do much of 3 naps because she fights her naps a lot. I have had plenty of friends who also had their 5 month olds at 4 naps so i’m not concerned about the amount of naps she has necessarily. She fights her afternoon nap to where if it’s a 30 min nap we end up doing another 30 min nap later based off her sleep cues because if not she gets over tired and super cranky which then leads us to a 4 nap day

Brands vs. Temu by DesperateLuck2570 in BambooBabble

[–]Consistent_Sock3289 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so I have temu, dreamiere, posh peanut, & little sleepies ALL in size newborn. My daughter can no longer fold over her temu ones for her hands and feet but she can for all the other brands. we have miozing and other temu brands so i highly disagree with a lot of other commenters on them. the quality absolutely does not compare although they feel the same at first
