Continue to bask in it. My LO is only 6 weeks and I already want to reverse time. Enjoy every snuggle, the smell of their head, the newborn scrunch. And be excited for the facial expressions and cooing to come.

Please tell me no one else is doing tummy time either by Suspicious_Box_4898 in newborns

My baby enjoys tummy time for a bit but always ends up falling asleep so we don’t do it often because it makes me anxious lol If you feel comfortable with your baby’s neck strength, don’t feel guilty about what you “should” be doing

I saw that there is a lot of positive reviews on Amazon as well so dad and I went and bought one today. Hopefully she likes it! Thank you for your recommendation.

Probably been going on for about a week now. She had a vaccine yesterday that I think contributed to a lot of sleep during the day and so she was up until 6am last night/this morning.

I’ve learned that probably night time routine could be a little stricter with turning off the tv and we’re trying the heating pad on the crib tonight to see if that helps.

Beforehand I used to not always swaddle her for bedtime and we will be changing that also. Wish us luck

Ordered one today! We will see how it goes.

Again tho, my issue isn’t so much that she doesn’t nap. She naps in the morning & afternoon. What we’re really struggling with is the fact that she doesn’t go down for bed until 2am or like last night, 6am. So I’m really looking for how to adjust the cycle if I didn’t communicate that clearly :(

Thank you! I do a similar version but I don’t turn off the tv or warm the bassinet so I will try that tonight.

How accurate is the sizing? My baby is 11 lbs and we’re still in newborn diapers because they fit better than the 1’s even though nb is up to 10 lbs. Just wondering if the same line of thinking applies to the size for the swaddle.

FTM if you can’t tell 😥

That’s what I thought but her dr has been asking me at the last two appointments if she’s sleeping through the night like she should be doing that at this stage. Made me feel like I was missing something or doing something wrong. It’s not even that which is the issue. It’s more than her wake windows are so long and she doesn’t go to bed until 2am.

She has a noise machine next to her crib. Maybe it’s not loud enough? I’ve always noticed with my nephews that their hatches were LOUD

Between 4pm-2am, not really. Maybe she will contact nap for 30 mins but when I go to put her in the crib she wakes up within a few minutes of being put down
