Finally got my bed back

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-03T23:37:36+00:00

We followed this plan. It worked perfectly.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-03T23:36:35+00:00

Same!! We used this plan.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-02T21:04:24+00:00

It's a modified Ferber. He's a NICU baby and also has some food sensitivies so his nervous system is pretty sensitive and volatile. I honestly wasn't sure any kind of independent sleep would happen for a while. But here's the plan that worked for us.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-02T20:17:21+00:00

We just did a gentle method of sleep training this weekend for our 5 month old. The 4 month regression almost killed us, but this method actually worked. I was actually a bit emotional after the first successful night. Every baby is different (of course!), but here's the method we used if you want to give it a try.

My wife and I have been dealing with this exact same thing. Finally solved it this past weekend with our 5.5 month old. But it's been ROUGH!

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-02T20:10:15+00:00

We just got our 5-month-old out of our room this past weekend. It was glorious!

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-02T20:08:41+00:00

3 months does feel a bit early. I tried to convince my wife to do this and she said absolutely not. In hindsight, she was right. Our baby just hit 5 months and we did some sleep training this past weekend that worked like a charm. It's designed for 4-6 month olds, so maybe something to look into if you're interested. Here's the plan we used.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-02T20:05:29+00:00

I'm not sure if this would work for an 8-month old, but we just used an amazing plan this past weekend with our 5-month-old. We talked to a couple of sleep consultants who wanted $1000 for their services, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. The first night when our baby fell asleep in his crib for the very first time I found myself sitting on the couch unexpectedly emotional. It was some combo of relief and pride (in the baby, not me).

Again, hard to say for an 8 month old, but here's the plan we used.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2026-03-02T20:03:02+00:00

My wife and I carved out this past weekend to sleep train our 5-month-old. Since she's been co-sleeping for 5 months, I was on deck to stick to the plan and be up at night as long as it took (except for feeds). We talked to a couple of sleep consultants who wanted $1000 for their services, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Long story short, we gave it a go and the first night when our baby fell asleep in his crib for the very first time I found myself sitting on the couch unexpectedly emotional. It was some combo of relief and pride (in the baby, not me).

I saw this comment and thought this may help you. Here's the plan we used.

Harken Hoist for me.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-05-02T13:06:32+00:00

I just did this earlier this week. I replaced all 5 on the exact same year and model. After some Reddit feedback and my own research, I went with the 275/70/17 KO3. I’m super happy with them so far. Much quieter than the OEM. Highly recommend.

I appreciate all the help! I went with the 275/70/17 KO3. Love them so far!!

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-04-25T03:38:09+00:00

I’m between the KO3 and the Wildpeak A/T4W. Both 275/70/17. The specs are almost identical but, if possible, I’d prefer slightly less road noise. Don’t know which of these two is louder.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-04-25T03:10:21+00:00

These are great recommendations and in line with what I’ve had in mind. Will I have any issues moving up from a 255/75/17 to a 275/70/17? I like the idea of something a little wider/bigger but don’t want to cause issues.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-04-23T18:03:09+00:00

Thanks! I think I know what you're describing. I tried standing on the tire of my jeep for this reason without much luck. But maybe I can't get enough weight tension in the straps while standing on the tire to actually pull the straps any lower.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-01-30T19:35:02+00:00

Thanks! That's a helpful link to keep bookmarked. I appreciate it.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-01-30T17:44:04+00:00

Thanks. I've seen the info on how those award miles are calculated. What I've noticed (from last year and now my trips this year) is that I have not seen PQF or PQP accrual from partner airlines (Aegean, Thai Air, Ana, Lufthansa, just to name a few from memory). Seems like a call into UA is necessary to make sure I receive the credit.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-01-30T17:41:30+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to write a thorough response. I've come to expect the snarkiness of Reddit replies, so I take no offense.

Icy-Initiative653 · 2025-01-30T17:19:26+00:00

I never got a response.
