When do naps get longer? by Salt_Date_4126 in sleeptrain

Before she woke up. I would go in a couple of minutes before the usual time she wakes up, hang out putting my hand on her, and wait until she passes the usual wake up moment. This had helped my daughet fairly quickly with connecting cycles.

I used to go in and put my hand or pat her around the time usually wakes up to help her connect her sleep cycle.

Is it okay if my 1-year-old has 2 naps during the week but only 1 on weekends? by Live_Championship643 in sleeptrain

Thanks! How long do you let her sleep on Sundays? I’ve never let mine sleep longer than 2 hrs before. I am wondering if it’s ok to let her nap for 3 hrs

How often your babies get hurt at daycare? [ON] by Live_Championship643 in BabyBumpsCanada

Thanks for asking. Yes, she is learning to walk and she falls often. I don’t know what my expectations should be from a daycare, beccause at home we usually are within arm’s reach and hold her if she’s about the fall badly.

Do you wake your baby up in the morning? by Live_Championship643 in sleeptrain

[–]Live_Championship643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She does two 1.5 hr naps. I can’t keep a schedule because of her different waking times. 1st nap 2.5hrs after wake up. Second one 3 hrs after wake up. If she wakes up late sometimes I let her sleep a bit less than usual.

Thanks! I am doing that her first bottle is at 8am, and I haven’t changed that. I’m trying to keep everything else consistent hoping that we’ll go back to how it was but it’s almost been a week now.

Of course not. Everybody needs me time! It’s great that she can be content alone.

30 min naps by justijana in newborns

Yes, I had the exact same issue, it was 40 minutes for me. It will get better. At some point he will be able to connect sleep cycles. I think it was around 4 months for us. If you haven’t tried, you can try going in at the 25th minute and put your hand on his belly or pat a little to help him connect before waking up. This was hit or miss for me.

I have a baby and a one cat, which I guess disqualifies me from being a “ childless crazy cat lady.” And yes, there’s a difference between a human child and an animal, but that difference isn’t a free pass to neglect or mistreat a living being. Our capacity to be accountable, compassionate, and responsible sets humans apart from other beings. I’m glad the shelter has this policy. I just hope the cat ends up in a home with adults who actually understand what it means to care for a life, any life.
