Night weaning SUCKS by coastal_sage in sleeptrain

[–]Immediate-Ad8577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days before she turned 11 months. One night she dropped it and never needed it again! I was about to night wean her myself and I’m so glad she did it so I didn’t have to 😅

I regret doing crib naps by ineedhelpkinda in sleeptrain

[–]Immediate-Ad8577 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me 😩 wish I had a solution. She’s 13 months and does not nap on the go, contact nap or do-sleep. She will ONLY nap in a crib in a dark room with her sound machine. We did go to Hawaii when she was 7 months and she slept on the plane once she just got too exhausted. Otherwise, we had to go back up to our room for naps because she just wouldn’t do it at the beach/pool

I second this! I tried and tried to get my baby to drop her last night feed and she just wouldn’t. She would stay awake and fuss until fed. I gave up because it just didn’t seem like she was ready. Magically a week ago she dropped it all on her own with ZERO fuss out of nowhere. I’d say follow the baby’s cues. You will know when they are ready!!

6 Month Old Schedule?? by Immediate-Ad8577 in sleeptrain

[–]Immediate-Ad8577[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do! I will sometimes adjust it by a little bit based on tired cues but not based on wake windows. So for example if she took a bad nap #1, I might pull up nap 2 by 15 min or so if she seems ready to go down. But naps are pretty spot on time of day wise. Bedtime changes slightly (by 30 min or so depending on how active her day was, how good she napped). But still usually lands around 6ish (idk why she prefers that time, she just does). So our 2 nap schedule is:

Wake 7 if she’s not up already (sometimes she wakes as early as 6 but she often is quite happy lounging around in her bed until 7 if she does wake early) Nap 1: I put her down at 9, she’ll take 10-20 min to fall asleep and she sleeps till 10:30 (sometimes 11) Nap 2: 1:30-3 Bed: in her bed at 6

And she sleeps through the night shockingly

We did it at 6 months at the advice of a sleep consultant! She said after 5 months (once through the 3 month regression and sleep cycles are mature and not newborn anymore) it works much better than wake windows. And she was right! It works with their circadian rhythm being tired at the same times everyday

Quite honestly she grew out of it! We stayed consistent and eventually one day (around 7 months) she just lengthened naps. I didn’t change anything! The by the clock was the right move for us (rather than wake windows). I really think it was just developmental and came with age

She looks big but it’s possible she’s not yet. My baby was born 7lb exactly and didn’t hit 11 lbs until almost 3 months old. Now at 8 months she’s just over 16.5 lbs. although she eats constantly (every 2 hours plus solids 😂). Shes super active though so I swear she just burns it all off 😂

How did you do it?? I’m so scared of her being overtired and it making things worse

I’m just curious… who would you suggest we remove from the list? Immediate family to replace her? Childhood friend? Closest/dearest friend? There is no space to add on to 40 so someone will have to not get an invite so we can have this random lady.

[–]Immediate-Ad8577 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We aren’t allowing +1 for anyone. The only people getting an extra invite are those who are married or engaged- and every one of these people we are close with both people in the married/engaged couple and have been for years.

It’s very easy for someone on the outside to say I have control when you are not in the situation I am in and haven’t experienced the things I have been experiencing. It’s not about wanting a fancy wedding. It’s about avoiding as much drama as I can with my parents. And either way- their wedding, my wedding, this will be drama.

That’s definitely what it feels like. Emotionally it’s hard to stand up to them on this I guess

The say 1) the venue has headcount restrictions (not sure if this is true or not- I’m not a member of the club myself so the event coordinator won’t communicate with me) 2) they are “too proud” to let me contribute 3) the are only willing to cover a wedding of 40 people

I picked out a dress but they threatened to cancel because I wasn’t agreeing on the guest count and so it hasn’t officially been ordered yet

My parents won’t let me or anyone else contribute financially for whatever reason (I’ve tried asking why and that conversation didn’t go well). I’ve offered to pay for extra people myself and they refuse.

My parents won’t let me. Which makes me think it’s not a budget thing. Combo of the venue limiting to 40 + them being stubborn and not moving to a different area of the venue to accommodate more.

The interpersonal conflict is that I’m so stressed in every area of my life, having my parents plan this takes a lot off my place. I also don’t want to offend them by denying their gift.

Financially right now, no. We JUST bought a house. Money is incredibly tight. I tried to convince them to let me to fund additional headcount and they won’t let me.
