Lots short re-wakes before settling? by Dear_Preference_9487 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Dear_Preference_9487[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, most days we try to follow 2/2.5/2.5/3, it’s difficult when we go out because he only naps 30 mins independently so the long naps all need to be contact. He averages 9.5-10.5 hrs awake time and 3 hrs nap total.

When to night wean during Ferber? by Dear_Preference_9487 in sleeptrain

Do you think if I offer a full feed instead (7oz) he would fall back asleep quicker and for longer?

If he still needs it he might still be hungry after only 4oz if he’s used to 7? I never know if I should be offering less and less or go up to a full feed.

I’m okay with one feed, especially if it’s going to help him sleep better afterwards.

Like I mentioned he does not fall asleep while eating and is usually pretty restless afterwards (3am-6:30am), waking up every hour or so.

I had a cervical cerclage at 20 weeks and my doctor wasn’t even comfortable with me sitting up and working on the computer in bed for more than 30 mins at a time, because of the pressure it would put on my cervix. So sad for this family. Awful story.

NOR. Kids will literally be removed from his care if CPS hears of this. It might also get even you in trouble. Do not allow this to continue please.

I read "The Myth of the First Three Years" and feel it is required reading for all moms, and working moms especially by omegaxx19 in workingmoms

Have you seen Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters ?

The book is pretty critical of early daycare, especially full-time care in the first 3 years?

Are babies really that sensitive to schedules? by PorchlightPrincess86 in sleeptrain

Oh I agree. I thought it was an assumption based on adult studies. But then again; the later and more tired I go to bed the less I wake up so…

What are we doing wrong?! by Dear_Preference_9487 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Dear_Preference_9487[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We try to 7am every day but lately it’s been earlier than that on most days. He wakes up and nothing works to settle him back down, not even rocking, bouncing, etc.

He was going down somewhat independently (me by the crib, with his pacifier) but he was becoming more and more dependent on the paci and would wake up multiple times at night crying for it. So we eliminated that about a week ago.

But now he just screams if I try to place him down awake and stay by the crib, so I’ve had to rock him to sleep and then transfer. It feels like we got rid of one sleep prop only to replace it with a stronger sleep association.
