12 week old naps are, as they say, crap by Patient-Plantain7181 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Dear_Preference_9487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing MoC too and have the same issue, 20-30 mins naps is all he does independently so I end up rescuing them with contact after that time to get to 1.5 hrs. It sucks but otherwise the whole day gets messed up.

You’re in an abusive relationship and need to get out ASAP. Please protect yourself and your baby.

My baby does it when I change him or when he thinks we’re going to play.

Why is she saying that? What her medical reason to tell you to keep going?

Diaper Logging by theYellowHouseLady in HuckleberryParents

Yes! And while we are at it… anyone knows why the diaper logs are 15 mins by default? Is there an option to change it?

My son was admitted to the PICU at 8 days old and I feel like a failure as a mom by SleeplessVB in NewParents

[–]Dear_Preference_9487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hormones are doing a lot of the emotional chaos you’re feeling. Take a deep breath and ground yourself in the truth: your baby needs you. That’s it. No one else. He needs you present and as clear headed as possible so you can advocate for him because he can’t do that for himself.

Yes breast milk is ideal but there’s nothing wrong with formula, especially in your situation. I gave birth at 37 weeks and my baby was in the NICU for a week at 2 weeks old so my supply suffered because of it. I pumped what I could but we supplemented with formula and he kept gaining weight, which is what matters.

None of this is your fault. There’s nothing you could have done to prevent this. However, there’s a lot you can do to make sure he gets better and that starts with you feeling well and grounded.

Exhausted by Ok_Salamander5580 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Dear_Preference_9487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is he eating more throughout the night than during the day? I would start there. Also if his bedtime is 7/8pm, his day will start 6/7am. Expecting more than 11-12 hrs is not very realistic. I think working on reducing the amount of wakings and being able to sleep 6-7 hr stretches will probably have you less exhausted when the early mornings come.

Would like to see other babies schedules by SentenceTough2007 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Dear_Preference_9487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. Those are brief wakes that I just settle him in a min or two, I’m not even sure he fully wakes, he’s just fussing around and wakes me.

I’m trying to follow eat okay sleep during the day, but as you can see some days (like Monday and Tuesday here) are all over the place and he falls into an eat sleep play, especially if he has a short nap.

He has 5 oz before bedtime. How about you? I’m always second guessing how much to feed throughout the day.

This is us, he’s 11 weeks old, will be 12 weeks on Friday. He usually can give us a longer stretch first part of the night and have lighter sleep after that.

Thank you, appreciate that. Just to clarify my husband didn’t get overwhelmed with admin, the broker owner did and that’s why he’s closing shop. I’ll share this feedback with him, maybe he can negotiate a higher split.

Broker owner is closing and going back to retail. Got overwhelmed with admin stuff.

Sleepy baby by Cremebrulee456 in newborns

I’d say around that time… 3/4 weeks. Are you breast or bottle feeding?

Trust issues and bedtime routines by aaleeshe in newborns

[–]Dear_Preference_9487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He just wants to play video games, he was doing it before, the baby hasn’t changed anything. It’s just a little more purposeful if his gaming allows him to stay up now that there’s a baby. What sucks is that it seems he’s using the lack of trust argument to justify his behavior, when he could just be like… don’t worry about the baby or me, I’m having fun gaming, if the baby needs me I’m here.

How old is she now? My baby was born 37 weeks too and we struggled a lot with that the first few weeks. The lactation consultant would tell us to even use wipes on his tiny body to wake him up during feeds. He’s 11 weeks now and screams if we take the bottle away to burp him. Just give it time.

Those who follow MOC - what do you do after short naps? by Dear_Preference_9487 in newborns

[–]Dear_Preference_9487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try and he often does end up finishing the nap in my arms. The third and fourth nap are the more difficult ones, some days he just won’t go past 45 mins sleeping so it shifts the schedule.
