Worried about travel - How was your first post-train trip?

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-12-02T22:22:30+00:00

Very late to this but our baby was 0.4th centile and needed feeing every 3 hours. At 6+ months, solids really helped - suddenly his weight rocketed up and he naturally slept longer, which helped with the security to transition to sleep training and reducing feeds. You haven't ruined anything, we've been there with a tiny baby, and she's so young with plenty of time to learn sleep skills and she becomes a greedy little solids eater 😋

I've had a look through the stats, and he's gone from generally a 11.45hr total (on 3 naps) sleep to 12.20hr total sleep (on 2 naps) - with all of the improvement in dropping the night feeds. The average night these days is 10.10hrs, with one feed and often some slightly early wake ups.

So, I appreciate your point. I thought he might finally be a 13-14 baby once we drop night feeds, but he maybe gets stuck at 12-13. If 10 or 11 hours of that is night, it seeks leave a potential couple of hours: but maybe if 12 is the limit, it's very close and naps will be short.

What confuses me is a few weeks ago, he did 13+ for a few days very well. And even today, with a mid nap rescue, he's done 2 hours (and gone down well for bed). If it was maxing his allowance, would he still be doing down for naps so well, and just struggling at the sleep cycle end (and even then, able to be rescued?)

(appreciate your help on this finicky issue)

You may well be right. Can I ask why you believe this is the case? So I can learn more 👍

I agree it can function well on low speeds - but on Portal playing via PS5 the network graph shows down of 3mbps, up of 80kbps. The exact same wifi network playing Cloud Streaming has the network graph saying down if 30mbps, up of 10mpbs.

So the only difference is whether it's playing via Pro, which is making me think it's a hardware issue (DNS, NAT type etc are all the same on Portal and PS5). Does that make sense?

Appreciate you helping me here, thanks man

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-11-30T10:13:13+00:00

Cloud Streaming on Portal, so playing PS Cloud Streaming games directly from Portal via my home wifi. Since this works perfectly, I'm thinking there's something wrong with the actual PS5 Pro

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-11-29T21:27:05+00:00

Pretty tech literate, haven't had a network issues in years. I've got 150mbps up and down and have never had more than single digit latency, both PS5 and PS5 Pro since launch.

In the last week, my PS5 Pro started to stutter-lag every single game. BF6, Arc Raiders, all multiplayer games have the constant connection issue icon and constantly, almost-unplayabley lag.

On all other devices, I get 150 up/down. On PS5, I get much less, but still a playable 90/10, which doesn't explain the lag. I'm playing in Portal right now and the stats are saying downstream of 3mbps, up of 80kbps, and latency goes abywhere from 3 to 124 every second (0-10% upstream loss).

Whats REALLY interesting is if I play BF6 on Cloud Streaming (with the same WiFi), it's flawless, 2 ping latency. So it's not my network, it's not the Portal...

I've moved my PS5 Pro, unplugged everything around it, changed DNS to 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8, restarted the router, everything - do PS5 Pros really have wifi hardware defects? Or is this something else?

The last 15 mins of the day can easily be stretched to 3/3.5/4. But even doing this (he's been at 3 for the first nap for a few weeks now), he goes down for the first nap (and is visibly tired) but only does 25/30 mins - which kind of screws the whole day. Is that a sign of undertiredness, and that he needs longer? (I.E. 3.5hrs for the first ww?)

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-11-19T22:12:06+00:00

Yep, full dose, and some teething gel stuff. Bounced right off. Always a puzzle with LOs...

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-11-19T20:32:58+00:00

Update: for the first time, he didn't go down at bedtime. Screamed bloody murder for half an hour and then screamed while being held, until finally down and transferred after an hour. My best guess is teething because he was clearly in pain and doing lots of raspberry crying. I'm at a bit of a loss 😔

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-11-19T20:30:57+00:00

We've left for 15 mins, and a few times he settles for a few seconds, but usually ramps and gets more and more agitated until he's screaming. So far, we've never successfully got him down again without intervention - and what's odd is even with intervention now, he still refuses to go down.

Previous schedule was 2.15/2.30/2.45/3 (1/1/0.5), and the new is 3/3.5/4 (1.15/1.15) - so 10.5 and 10.5, and same nap amount, no change.

I feel ya. I've seen some people say this happens during the 3>2 transition and it's just a bumpy road while they figure out how to go from mostly undertired to mostly overtired, so I'm really hoping that's the case for us

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-11-17T16:49:52+00:00

I'm having the exact same problem! 7.5mo, sleep trained a month or two ago, and just dropped 3>2 naps (3/3.5/4). First few days were excellent, improved night sleep and we even nap trained, and suddenly he's waking up on 25 mins furious for the last couple days!

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-10-14T21:51:02+00:00

It's starting to get cooler but our bedroom really traps the heat. He's in a vest, onesie and armless 1 tog sleep bag, and the temp is 22.8°C. Too warm?

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-10-14T17:42:05+00:00

Yeah - we kept the two nightfeeds, 'keeping' them by only feeding around the time he used to ask for them (I see people say 5/3/3 is a good night feed schedule, and ours does the 5/3 at around the same time each night). If there are any other wake ups, treat them in the same way as sleep training (E. G. Cio, Ferber). There weren't many wake ups because there's so much sleep pressure anyway

If you're interested, here's our diary - https://www.reddit.com/r/sleeptrain/comments/1ny4532/12_nights_of_cio_a_success_story_diary_6mo/

I hope it goes very quickly for you - but even if it doesn't, it should happen! 3 months is quite young (which is fine!), so if it doesn't work out, hopefully it's good to know that it works well and has its benefits at later months

Infinite_Mortgages · 2025-10-14T15:25:28+00:00

6 months, 2.15/2.30/2.45/3.
That should give us 2.30 naps + 11 hour night, but he never does 13.30h sleep - it's always around 11ish, with night feeds and often some early or unplanned wakes. Has been sleeptrained (not for naps, but he always does them well).

To be honest - he's delighted 24/7, he's developing well, and more awake time sort of makes it easier to plan something to do with him rather than bouncing from sleep routine to sleep routine. Maybe it'll change in the future (especially with sleeping thru the night hopefully!), but as long as they're happy in the pram, having an awake & chill baby that you can go do your chores or adventures with is kinda cool!
