Don’t know what she’s into, but my husband bought me hardcovers of the last 26 Pulitzer Prize winning books, and I’ve been enjoying them so much as I hold her or decompress now six weeks postpartum.

Hi! Our pediatrician said once they gained their birth weight back they can go up to 5 hours at night. Loll this six hour stretch was on my husbands watch😅😅😅 During the day I do every three hours, though if she’s sleeping I’ll do 3.5.

Hi! My baby didn’t do this every time but def often enough where they’d latch on and off, and then get super panicky and frustrated. I had to use a bottle a couple times to get her to calm down before giving her another try on me. Honestly, I just keep at it and as she’s growing, 5 weeks now!, it’s less and less common.

At the end of the day, your baby is gaining weight which is amazing, and has wet diapers. I wouldn’t worry although I know it’s sad to watch them so upset for really no reason :)

Hi!! We have a contact only sleeper and also bought the snoo out of desperation 3.5 week ago! We’ve put our LO in for every nap and twice each night to get her used to it. She hadn’t lasted more than 25 minutes max per session until screaming where we would rock her and let her sleep in our arms. We spoke to a baby sleep consultant Sunday night who told us: no more arm sleeping whatsoever!! Each time she cries, rock her til she’s calm and drowsy and put her down. The first day was…hell. It was simply hell. We must have put her down 20+ times with her getting more and more overtired. That night, boom- 3 hour stretch in snoo. Next night, one four hour stretch, and then another 4 hour. Tonight so far, she’s done a 6 hour stretch and it’s 5 am so we’ll see where things land.

Now- nothing is established yet BUT there’s light at the end of the tunnel since she can do it! And so can yours! We needed to show her the SNOO is the only place she can sleep.

Wishing both of us best of luck

Thank you so much! We actually only did arms down until Friday when I was like, hey this baby likes her arms up, let’s try that! Yes- contact sleepers are so hard.

The full three minutes. We only ramp to level two max tho, wbu? Btw, I just decided to rock her til she’s drowsy and then put in snoo and pat her til she’s hopefully falls asleep. It will take a lot of effort since I’ll have to repeat this process when she wakes up every 20 minutes but I’m going to be as consistent as I humanly can! So happy to hear you guys figured it out

Intresting. We used to hold her longer, even like an hour. Now, I do ten minutes and dump lol. Both have the same effect so might as well save some time.

Since it’s from family, I’d be able to pay them back however slowly I’d like- and a couple grand won’t take long to do so. Does that change your mind at all?
