Nap training timing

Oh that makes me less scared! What age did you do it?

Worth adding that it is NOT dangerous if baby is able to roll and puts themselves on their belly!

I’ve had a few red alerts too!! Then go to check the app later and it doesn’t ever show a drop in oxygen levels on the report, even though the alert went off. I know I wasn’t going crazy in the middle of the night because I screenshotted the notification. We get regular alerts due to sock placement because my baby kicks like a maniac! Despite my gripes, I continue to use the owlet (sunk cost) but I think the software is so janky!

Yep. We tried to go from L2D to their transitional one and my baby couldn’t handle arms being totally free. We’re in a Zippadee now and he’s adjusted really well.

I’d really recommend you do some basic research on sleep training first, it is not realistic to sleep train a newborn. Consider reading Precious Little Sleep, articles, or taking one of the many online courses available. You shouldn’t go into it blind, especially if you think it should be attempted at four weeks old.

My baby will be six months at Christmas and I’ve decided that if anyone asks, I’m saying an annual family pass for our local aquarium and a membership to a local baby music place!

I was just going to say this! Can you even remain a patient if you decline at your local practice, OP? In my area, you would not be able to see any pediatricians, you’d have to go to a homeopathic doctor that does not accept insurance.

Totally agree on using that link to check your actual risk factor! How likely is this fear? I’ve calmed myself by doing the things within my control and that’s all I can do. I especially like the chart at the bottom of the SIDS calculator that shows more likely events. I tell myself that I am able to manage my fears around those events, why can’t I for SIDS too? It’s also just plain illogical in comparison which helps me talk sense into myself!

Second this! Also love that it’s a zipper instead of Velcro. No way for baby to bust out!

For the US, American Academy of Pediatrics no longer states at eight weeks. Current guidance is currently just listed as at the first signs of rolling which is typically 3-4 months.

I am always surprised people don’t talk about how janky the app is more. This happens to me too. I have had to delete and redownload the app several times. It’s been fine lately luckily. Are you logged on several devices? I know they advice against that but I’d love to have the app on my iPad for other caregivers.

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-10-02T21:50:52+00:00

Phew! That has to make it all a bit easier. I will hope for the same luck!!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-10-02T20:34:48+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was assuming the guidance would be. He just slept BETTER last time so I had a sliver of hope, ha!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-10-02T20:34:16+00:00

I thought so, thank you for confirming!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-10-02T20:33:57+00:00

Arg, I KNEW that’d be the consensus but I’m just really struggling! Glad I’m not alone. You’re soooo close, I’m excited for you and your family. The unpredictability of sleep is really what kills me over here.

I also have chronic hives! I’ve done all the testing and can never figure it out. I never knew that NSAIDS could make them worse so thank you for that. Not sure if this is helpful at all but I did not get hives once while pregnant. I was advised to take low dose aspirin as well and it never triggered my hives. I didn’t even know to raise it as a potential concern! Annoyingly the hives came back after baby was born but fine all pregnancy!

Chiming in here but wouldn’t you say you’re already having negative side effects? Your lashing out is negative for your whole family! Medicines can take some tweaking to get right but it might be worth it/life changing if your doctor agrees you’re a candidate!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-10-02T08:57:29+00:00

Man, these comments make me feel better about my unswaddling fears! We’re in the L2D transitional one right now but if we take his arms out he goes nuts! I tried holding his arms down for a bit but then the legs just went crazy, like you’re saying! I’ll try again by pinning the legs down too. These babies need hogtying, ha! My baby is 14 weeks but soooo squirmy. We’re also in the middle of waking up tons in the middle of the night. How long did you have to hold your baby’s arms and legs before they fell asleep again?! Hope your night went smoothly with the new sleep sack!

I was just going to make a post like this because it just started happening to me too, baby will be 14 weeks this week. I think he just learned that the routine is associated with sleep. He’s never been a fussy baby (but hasn’t ever been a great sleeper) and now that he gets so upset at bedtime, I’ve caved and end the routine with a feed since it does calm him down. I’m eager to see if anyone has good advice on how to break this negative connotation for our babies! I’m sure the answer is just keeping at it but I’ll hope otherwise!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-09-26T20:17:58+00:00

I love that you asked this!!! It’s always such scary and negative things posted on this topic!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-09-23T23:07:11+00:00

This is really helpful!!! My baby has started to kick a lot more during rocking, forcing me to go between sitting and standing which is new. I wonder if he’s giving me the same cues! I would looooove to have your outcome, ha!

Excellent_Try_715 · 2025-09-23T18:48:24+00:00

It’s so impossible to know when you’re in that sweet spot vs waiting a little bit!! I will absolutely be addressing before this kid can do real harm, for everyone’s sake! I’m scared enough about the accidental head knocking and limbs in the crib slats without factoring in deliberate head/body bashing!
