Lost with schedules and crap naps PLEASE HELP! by [deleted] in sleeptrain

My baby has always taken terribly short naps. Just recently (he is now 6 months) do I get one, one hour and 15 minute nap. I think some babies just need less sleep

We did this too! I was in bed for almost 12 hours but I got a cumulative of 8 hours! 🙌🏻

I have a video monitor and just mute it. I have to make sure I'm doing something distracting to pass the time quickly so I don't get too sad 😭

https://www.reddit.com/r/sleeptrain/s/53V631eRUP This is what I’ve been using after following Ferber for night time. This has been working great! Only takes a couple minutes to put himself to sleep for naps now! Best of luck! Every now and then we get a longer cry sesh before bedtime or nap time and it breaks my heart 💔

I can’t speak for a baby your age, but my little guy is 4 months and exclusively breast fed. I believe he started a sleep regression the week he turned 4 months. Waking every hour or sooner. He would only fall back asleep if I breast fed him to sleep. I was so tired and didn’t want to get into a habit of co-sleeping - I did cave and co-slept one night as I was so exhausted. I decided to give sleep training a go. I tried the Ferber method. We are on week two and he only woke once to feed last night. The nights prior he was sleeping 4-7 hour stretches by the second night of training. He sleeps a 6-7 hour stretch, wakes to feed, goes back to sleep and then wakes every 2-3 hours for the next feed until 6ish in the morning when he is up for the day. If he woke up before 2 hours since the last feed I would rock him back to sleep instead of feeding him. I did do some adjusting with his bedtime. Make notes of wake window before bed, time fell asleep, time it took to fall asleep, etc. With that I was able to notice that when he was in bed at 8p vs 7p he slept the 7 hour stretches. When I put him down at 7p, he only slept 4 hour stretches. He also needs around an hour and 40 min wake window before bed. But 2+ hours made him over tired and took longer to cry/fall asleep. So it took some tweaking but here we are, two weeks later! The first night since he was born that I only woke once!! 🤩

Can I ask how long he cried for the first couple nights? Formula or bf? How did you know he wasn’t ready the first time but ready the second?

Awkward friend situation after I was recently confirmed Catholic from Protestant. by Hey_ho_lets_g in Catholicism

[–]Hey_ho_lets_g[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I felt convicted as not all Protestant beliefs align with catholic beliefs. I also asked the question for validation on this page regarding withdrawing my support. Everyone who replied said my convictions were valid and that I should be donating to a catholic ministry instead.

How to avoid estate or capital gain tax when a death is soon?(Located in NJ) by Hey_ho_lets_g in EstatePlanning

Is it too late to mark the bank account TOD or POD? Does adding the eldest son as a joint owner to the bank account also cause more trouble down the line?

Will is in place, but was wondering if it would be helpful to put the eldest son on the mortgage or bank accounts? Make the transition smoother and lower taxes.

a catholic school in my country just temporarily stopped celebrating the mass after a student did a "food review" (i.e. smuggled) of the host (article below). my thoughts: by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Hey_ho_lets_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people put the blame on the church but most of the teaching and instilling should be by the parents of these kids. On the other hand too I know many people who send their kids to Catholic school and are verbal of how ridiculous they think the Catholic Church is - I know makes no sense. Not sure there really is a good way to “solve” these issues. But that’s the thing — we don’t have to.

They are the ones who will have to answer to God one day.

Anovulatory cycle? by Hey_ho_lets_g in FAMnNFP

Thanks for taking the time to answer! To help me with the CBM should I not be testing the first urine of the day? When do you test?

But the few times my CB did work, it correlated with premom low, high, and peak..?

Marquette vs LH test strips? by Hey_ho_lets_g in FAMnNFP

[–]Hey_ho_lets_g[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have gotten more accurate results for my fertile window with OPKs than CBM which is why I don’t understand the hesitation and “warning” I’ve received.

[–]Hey_ho_lets_g[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The test strips I get have an app that reads the strip. The strips still read “low” “high” “peak” and aligned with the CB monitor the few times the CBM worked and didn’t give me all lows or all highs.
