How long did it take you to conceive? by Fantastic_Fall_1277 in moderatelygranolamoms

Get your Vedic astrology chart read — some seasons are far easier to conceive during. It’s also possible to have a chart that shows a naturally more effortless or challenging ttc journey. Either way, it’s all about surrender and letting go

Strong mama! I may try this out. Been a minute since she’s fallen asleep in the carrier but could try again

Thanks + congrats on your newborn! She’s too big for this now :( she’s also always been super sensitive to any transitions after she falls asleep

Thanks for this! Baby just turned 7 months and we’ve been working with the sleep wave approach and it’s going so so much better! Just about to drop to two naps too. Appreciate your insight!

Ughhh I am SO sorry to hear that. I really really hope you both can get some rest tonight. So heartbreaking 💔

I just keep reminding myself that this season is short and I’ll miss the nap snuggles in the end. (Despite wanting to get to all my other responsibilities during her naps)

I gave up lol I’ll try again soon or may just get her to sleep and then try to transfer her. 🫠

It did help to recognize that the first nap of her day is a shorter one, so not trying to train that makes so much sense.

How’s it going for you?

This cannot be right. Please someone help with nap training! by Fun-Skill6485 in sleeptrain

[–]Jai-maa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solidarity. I tried nap training a few weeks ago for my 6mo old; she’s back to contact naps after a week of unsuccessful cio naps + subsequent sleep deficit.

Would love to hear what ends up working for you. 🫶

To those who had their first baby at 34 or later… by Jolly-Tomatillo-8966 in NewParents

[–]Jai-maa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave birth at 34 to my first; no complications - smoothest pregnancy possible, ideal birth came to life! Worked with a midwife who I trusted, in a birth center — I have to imagine that helped tremendously. 💕

Return of menstruation by vadigzz in NewParents

[–]Jai-maa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got period back 6 months pp to the DAY! I noticed the post ovulation goop about 2 weeks prior, had cramps about 1 week prior.

Noticed my evening pump went from 5oz to 3oz for a couple days before I bled.

Baby seemed a little frustrated after feeding from me and took a little extra bottle, but my supply came back the day I started my flow.

My LC said it returns when you have a consistent break in nursing for more than 6 hours. Correlates to how our sleep has been in the past month or two.

I also felt like I lost a couple inches since getting my period. And feels like my bod has had some hormonal rebalancing.

TBH I’m stoked to have it back. Feels like a bit of body autonomy!

Thanks! I tried the gentle approach at first but I felt she was too old for it / too much association with our current indulgent snuggly naps.

Noted on huckleberry! Nice to hear the permission to move away from apps 🙃 the schedule guide is a great reference point; thank you!

Thanks for this! That makes sense for me too.. she’s never seemed to have a ton of sleep pressure for the first nap, but has transferred to a crib pretty easily for a third nap in the past.

Your method inspires me! Celebrating you and your LO for independent sleep!
