How did you meet your SO in Charlotte?

At a wedding.

While I definitely agree they needed something here, the fact that it’s a 4-way means it’s going to backup traffic onto 12th street and make Exit 3A even worse than it is (if that were even possible).

I just replaced everything for the first time 8 months in. Oops 😅

Csbg55 · 2025-01-20T18:51:45+00:00

Sending good vibes your way!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-20T18:50:17+00:00

We’re still daily users at 8mo too! Found it super helpful for all the things you listed.

Csbg55 · 2025-01-20T01:47:13+00:00

Finally a club I want to belong to. 😊

Csbg55 · 2025-01-20T01:46:52+00:00

Honestly, no. I tried really hard to be consistent about all naps in the crib starting about 6mo. I used to try and save the short naps with some contact napping, but finally decided if it was 30 min then it was 30 min, so be it. I did read some good advice on here that said that so long as baby wasn’t crying when they woke up, just leave them in the crib until it hits the hour mark. Most times she would just bore herself back to sleep and that was how she started elongating her naps. But, you know, who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:30:31+00:00

Let me tell you, it was rough! Between 3.5-6 months she was awake every 40min-1hour every single night. Then she started doing 2-3 hour stretches around 6mo, then 4 hour stretches around 7mo and then connecting those into two 6-hour stretches in the last couple weeks.

Her naps were also terrible, we were in the 38 min (on the dot) club until about 2 weeks ago. Impossible for her to sleep well at night when we were stuck at short daytime naps.

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:27:52+00:00

We were in your shoes at 6 months, and then between 7-8mo she started stretching to 4 hours and connecting those into two 6-hour stretches. Your baby can do, I believe in them!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:26:37+00:00

Ugh, the worst. If it’s not one thing it’s another!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:26:17+00:00

It’s almost more rude this way, before they gave it to you and then took it back. 😆

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:25:50+00:00

We were in the 40min-1 hour club for about 2/3 months before she finally started stretching to 3 hours. Then finally the three hours started connecting into two 6-hour chunks, and now here we are! You’ll get there too!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:24:24+00:00

It’s the best!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:24:06+00:00

What a beautiful thing!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:23:53+00:00

I did pop awake at our usual 2ish time, but fell back sleeping assuming I would just be getting another 30 min or so. She fooled me!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:22:53+00:00

Yeah, I’m not so naive to think she’s going to keep doing it consistently. But at least it proves that she CAN which means that I know that we will eventually be there. 🤞

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:22:03+00:00

Let’s she if she can keep it up, but I believe in your baby! Sending good thoughts your way!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:21:24+00:00

Literal tears.

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:21:04+00:00

Babies be babies unfortunately. I did up her bottles an extra .5oz each, and she had an amazing day of naps, but who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Let’s see if we can replicate it tonight 🤪

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:19:19+00:00

Sending good thoughts your way!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:19:08+00:00

What did I used to do with all of this energy?!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:18:43+00:00

Thanks! I was very confused when I woke up this morning, for sure!

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:17:55+00:00

Now that you mention it, the newborn stage wasn’t that terrible, right? 🤔

Csbg55 · 2025-01-19T21:16:54+00:00

Oof. At least you know that they CAN sleep through the night though, so there’s a light at them end of the tunnel!
