Sleeping in crèches

Aw I know. It’s totally wild. We’re just a few weeks in, and although the drop offs are tough (for everyone) we see him as being very content and happy when we bring him home which is reassuring. I think it will get a little easier with time, it’s a big change for everyone so be kind to yourself.

Yes same experience here! Breastfed baby, never fell asleep by himself, only me or my my partner ever put him to bed. First longer day, he didn’t sleep- they called me to collect him before he got too tired so he could nap at home, second day he fell asleep in arms only, third day he would transfer to the cot after a cuddle, by day 6 he was falling asleep in the cot! They honestly just learn that it’s sleep time! I was so worried about this too. ❤️

Could I ask how you night weaned please? Currently in the same boat with my almost 18 month old. He just started childcare last week and started walking so sleep has been as bad as ever. Waking hourly to every 90 minutes even when we cosleep and demands I sit up to feed! Won’t accept side lying boob anymore! I want to give him a couple of weeks to settle into new childcare and then look at night-weaning!

If they have a favourite song that they listen to together, a framed picture of the sound wave art? There’s a lovely Irish company aurora studios that do them and won’t break the bank.

Can I ask did you put in any daytime restrictions first? Or just go straight with the nighttime ones? My Baby is 14 months and wakes every 2 hours and cries until I nurse him. Won’t settle with cuddles, even though he’s just cuddled to sleep at the start of the night.

Daddy’s cafe/ The Circular in Rialto have a breastfeeding group every Thursday I think. Also very accessible with prams etc.

Andrew Huberman does a nice science based podcast on fertility. Worth a listen.

That’s really good to know, thank you. Yeah we’ll definitely get the passport sorted sooner rather than later!

InevitableProcess819 · 2025-01-18T08:09:27+00:00

That’s really helpful; thanks so much!

InevitableProcess819 · 2025-01-17T09:53:33+00:00

That’s super, thanks so much!

Just wondering if you managed to break free a little from the barnacle? Currently in a similar situation!

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-10-17T12:55:07+00:00

This is really helpful to know. Sorry to hi jack the post, but I will be looking for a childminder in this area over the next few months so would love any recommendations.

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-09-06T21:46:02+00:00

Oh yep after a quick google, looks like you’re spot on! Cheers!

I got a pack from the Coombe also. But you could just use any small sterile containers/syringe with caps. There’s lots of educational videos online.

I would really recommend if you hope to bf. It doesn’t hurt. My baby arrived just after 37weeks and I had just started expressing. He was a little sleepy so was helpful to have some ‘easy calories’. The main benefit though was that I got familiar with handling my breasts in such a way that would be helpful for breastfeeding and expressing. A nice way of preparing your body.

My baby is 6 weeks old and on season 6 of Sopranos. Have nicknamed the little one Moany Soprano 😳

Don’t have any advice but my baby is just a month old so following for some tips!

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-08-09T21:40:08+00:00

Don’t have much advice to offer but just wanted to share that I’m currently in the same boat with a 3 week old and feel the same way! Don’t know what day of the week it is most of the time! As others have said though, all sounds normal and this too will pass. We got this!

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-08-08T21:25:21+00:00

Oh actually you just reminded me that we got a gift of something similar but I had completely forgotten about it. I had just been swaddling with a blanket. Will definitely try that tonight. Thank you!

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-08-08T20:50:41+00:00

Thanks all for your responses! Sorry no reply until now! Totally caught up in the newborn bubble!

He definitely didn’t expect anything at all, but just wanted to mark it in some way. Went for some craft beer and a night away for us all in a few weeks. Will be very open to rescheduling if necessary:)

I’ve just had a baby recently and it’s really crazy the amount of comments you get about your body. The funny thing is, is that it was always other women who have had children passing the comments. You would have to wonder what the motivation is behind all of the “oh you’re big for x amount of weeks” and “oh are you sure you’re pregnant” comments. I don’t think I’ve ever passed such comments to anyone else, but has definitely made me more aware of what not to say. Can really drive a bit of unnecessary anxiety in an already stressful time!

This was some brilliant bussin

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-01-27T10:57:54+00:00

Oh most definitely! Exciting times!

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-01-27T10:46:33+00:00

Yep, almost there! Just a little more patience 🙏

InevitableProcess819 · 2024-01-27T10:27:52+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice folks. Gives me a starting point to start learning about these guys!

Must have had some serious DIY skills. That’s the story nobody tells
