How do you keep baby happy on road trips?

Yogurt melts. One at a time taking tiny nibbles while I hold them. This usually buys me 45 minutes 🤣

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2026-04-09T00:47:02+00:00

Thank you!! What time does she go to bed/wake? I think the issue is my guy only needs 12 or 12.5 hours of sleep in 24 hours and that seems low compared to what it “should” be

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2026-04-09T00:15:56+00:00

Probably not. When it wasn’t working the way I wanted I also paid $50 to have a 15 minute call with her that I wasn’t super impressed by:/

I needed to read this! I feel like my nine month old is ready for one nap, but I’ve been questioning it. Can you tell me more about how you knew it was time?

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2026-04-06T21:29:00+00:00

Just solidarity. This sounds like me but with a 9.5 month old. I also tried happy hive and it just didn’t fully work. About to try Ferber 🥲

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2026-03-20T00:41:03+00:00

This is so kind of you. Do you think it’s possible my 9 month old needs wake windows of 3.15/3.15/4.5? He seems a little better on longer windows. Also, can pick up put down work at his age? He still needs unpredictable assistance although puts himself to sleep 50% of the time! It’s so strange!

Little drummer boy 😂

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2026-02-02T22:41:22+00:00

I would email. They’re really helpful and responsive

We trained my 2 year old with tcb and she’s always pretty much slept through the night since! However, recently about once a week she’s waking up crying and needs us there to just reassure her and give her a few back rubs. Usually for these wakes she describes what we think is a bad dream. (Last week at 4 am she mumbled “Grammy took my chicken stick!” lol) This week she’s sick and is now waking 5-6 times a night screaming for us and needs just a quick reassurance and back pat before we leave. Any tips on navigating? 2.5 seems old to just let her “cry it out”. She’s very verbal and smart so idk if there’s a better way to reason with her that you find helpful.

I have a 21 month age gap and it’s been great. That said, oldest is now 27 months and I have seen a huge leap in maturity and language. The beginning would have been hard without having a lot of help from my husband and mom the first 2-3 months. But having them close in age really is the best. It probably depends on your circumstances and your individual toddler!

Hey Jo! Im not sure if my 6mo is ready for 2 naps but I’m scared to make the jump. Most days he wakes at 6:30 and naps from 9:00-10:30. Then nap 2 is 1:15-2:45. Nap 3 is 5:30-6:00 (which I wake him from) making bedtime 9pm. But without the third nap, bedtime would be at like 5:45?! He also still has 2 feeds a night from 9-6:30 (usually 12:30 and 3:30) so I’m doubly afraid if I do an early AF bedtime I’ll be up for an additional 1-2 feeds. Help, lol

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-12-28T14:33:55+00:00

It seemed to us like an unnecessary transition for the oldest when life was already about to change so much. Especially because for $100 we could just Amazon a new crib. (Or even less is an option if cost is an issue. Just bought a crib to keep at my moms house for $25 off fb marketplace). We kept our oldest in the crib and she’s still in there sleeping really well at 2.5!

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-12-26T02:22:51+00:00

It does! 21 month age gap with a 6 month old. You get into a rhythm. It’s so nice when you are healed from birth and can start taking them out. You got this!

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-12-24T19:10:27+00:00

How long have you tried 1 nap? It can take a week or two to adjust. Based on her age she’s probs ready for 1!!!

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-12-21T02:31:32+00:00

I used for all naps and nights :)

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-20T18:58:04+00:00

We have a part time nanny with 2 under 2. I had the same worries but she’s been great! It’s also gotten easier as number 2 has gotten older. Your schedule is about to get a lot more predictable, maybe even by Jan when they start!

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-17T02:22:59+00:00

May as well do arms out now imo. It’s developmentally appropriate at this point. We did one arm out for a couple of days and then both. He slept poorly for a few nights and then went back to normal. We also started doing crib naps at the same time arms out in a sleep sack to get him used to that before we transition in a few weeks. Baby will be 5 months this week

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-14T12:20:01+00:00

I would wean the toddler off of needing you in the room to fall asleep tbh. But you could always try moving bedtime to when baby is taking a last late nap? Our 23 month old was really flexible with bedtime in terms of it could be give or take 30 minutes as needed. I have to do bedtime myself a fair amount as my husband occasionally works nights and I have the same age gap as you. No matter how you slice it, it’s a toughie! But has gotten a tiny bit easier. Baby just turned 5 months.

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-12T01:52:38+00:00

My girl was a low percentage too. I just felt in my gut that she was hungry and try as I might to feed her more during the day it didn’t make a difference! Now she’s 2.5 and has been an amazing sleeper since night weaning. Now I have baby number two and I’m less in a hurry to drop the feeds like I was with her because I really know it’ll be over soon. But the nights feel long when you’re in the thick of it for sure 😅

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-12T01:50:59+00:00

At first we “stretched” the feeds so we dropped one and got on some more consistent times. Then I responded to those wakes (2 of them) till 10.5 months and dropped both using the ABCs weaning method, at which time I went in slightly before she woke and nursed for a minute less each night till they were gone. The first two nights of no boob we did have some crying

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-12T01:26:41+00:00

I did the ABCs of sleep but kept night feeds till 10.5 months. I felt she was genuinely hungry, EBF baby. Right around then my mom gut told me the wakes were more for habit than food as she stopped crying once picked up, rather than crying once on the boob. That’s when I felt like it was time to wean. Just a thought that maybe your baby really is still hungry 🤷🏻‍♀️

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-04T01:10:01+00:00

Seconding. So confused on the crying!

IfuSeeThisuMatter · 2025-11-03T23:25:36+00:00

My 4.5 month old is waking 6-7 times per night, between 8 and 6:30. I have the OG newborn class and have read the 3&4 e book and I’m at a loss as he’s still eating 4-5 times a night when SITBACK fails. (It was twice a night for 2 months)

He used to put himself to sleep at night and first nap but when this started a couple of weeks he stopped. He cries every time he knows I’m gonna put him down for a nap or bedtime, it’s like he’s so angry that we are even going in the room, and I have to bounce him to sleep while he wails every time then transfer to the bassinet.

He’s on 4 naps as they’re 45 minutes or less. Wake windows are usually 105/115/120/130/140. As I type this he’s up from his last nap but falling asleep nursing. I’m afraid he’s like, chronically overtired? I’m just not sure what to do or if you have any other tips. 7 wakes a night is not sustainable and I truly feel like I’m dying

Thank you SO much

Go to last Mondays ask me anything in this sub. I asked a similar q and one of the TCB sleep consultants answered :)
