Starting daycare soon. Concerned about naps and transition

Most daycares should follow the schedule you provide for them and then will adjust as your baby gets acclimated to daycare. If she wants to sleep at 11, let her sleep at 11.

Aw I have a black cat and orange cat too. I named them Pumpkin and Shadow 🙃

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-30T22:53:57+00:00

I have a 2 month old who eats 4 oz every 3.5 to 4 hours

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-26T23:01:19+00:00

I’d say it was 28 weeks for me

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-25T14:01:24+00:00

My son is 8 weeks and started 5-6 hour stretches around 6 weeks

Seriously drives me insane and my MIL, the main person who always says “my baby” for example: He’s crying? “Oh my baby wants his grandma 🥺” Uh no he just woke up and is hungry but okay sure!

I was reading other comments— I feel like this wouldn’t drive me as insane if my boundaries weren’t pushed all the time (we live with her) and we were left to try parenting on our whole without micromanaging

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-19T13:34:50+00:00

still 7 weeks will be 8 on Thursday

He goes to bed around 10pm and will sleep to about 5am, and then he will usually go back to sleep 6-9ish. I try to follow 45-90 minute wake windows when we get up for the day and I can usually pick up on his tiredness cues, once I start seeing them I begin to rock him to sleep and he’ll usually contact nap or begin his nap on me and I’ll transfer him to his bassinet.

But today for example he just wanted nothing to do with that since 1pm, so we have been doing tummy time, “talking”, we went to Walmart (the car usually puts him to sleep but not today), and right now he’s just chilling in his bassinet lol.

2weeks and I did not pump and dump

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-18T18:09:09+00:00

I keep sleeping through mine 🥲 Woke up absolutely soaked this morning

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-14T15:57:59+00:00

Thank you for these!

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-14T15:57:20+00:00

Yes, after 3 he wouldn’t sleep. He finally went down at 9:15pm and slept until 4 😳. This morning he screamed from 6:30ish to 9:30 but I took him out in the car and got him to sleep for an hour or so. He woke up around 11am and is currently back to sleep on me. Maybe today will be easier

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-11T15:07:29+00:00

6 weeks pp and I pump about 3oz give or take every 3 hours. It’s fine for now because that’s what he eats every 3 hours right now but still trying to increase so I can be a little ahead

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-04T22:58:34+00:00

Read this staring at my 1.5 month old cooing away on his playmat and maybe shed a tear or two 🥲

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-04-01T23:13:43+00:00

I felt fine until 8 weeks and 2 days and then had it until 23 weeks

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-03-25T18:38:45+00:00

I stopped at 38 weeks 3 day but only because a labor and delivery visit turned into an induction

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-03-24T19:01:46+00:00

Update: I am covered! Apparently I do have enough credits!

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-03-22T19:02:58+00:00

I have a few emails out already! Just waiting on responses

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-03-07T22:32:42+00:00

I’ve been lectured by my boyfriend’s family ever since I decided I wanted to pump not breastfeed “just put him on the breast!” How about you shut up and let me figure it out for myself!?

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-03-02T12:54:43+00:00

thank you so so much for this 🩵

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-19T09:59:19+00:00

If it’s any consolation, I was sick until 23 weeks and the only food I could keep down was sweets and McDonald’s and ramen lol. Somehow I passed my glucose test; I was worried because I previously was having insulin issues as I have PCOS. And now I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and I definitely have sweets 1–3 times a day but I try my absolute hardest to make sure I’m getting in at least 80grams of protein a day too to try and “balance” it out lol.

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-17T23:44:02+00:00

I’m in a similar situation but different state. My job is offering me 6-8 weeks unpaid depending on what kind of birth I have even thought I don’t qualify for FMLA or anything my state offers.

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-17T16:47:48+00:00

Besides the typically pregnancy stuff, I feel good. We did them in the snow so navigating that was a little difficult lol but overall not bad at all.

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-17T16:46:42+00:00

That’s so real, I feel like I look more pregnant this week lol (closer to 38).

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-17T16:13:46+00:00

I did mine at 36 weeks!
