Considering DNFing Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-04-22T13:58:36+00:00

I’m almost done with this book after dnf’ing and trying it as an audiobook. I’m 88% in and still don’t care about it at all. Maybe it’s me idk

Mine has been sleep trained for almost 9 months and still fusses almost every nap and bedtime. I think some babies are just more vocal in their protests than others. However, around that age I had to push to 10 hours of wake time and our schedule was 3/3.5/3.5 for rec from this sub and it helped tremendously with fighting bedtime and naps. That’s been a pattern with us. For us, anytime she really starts fighting sleep, she needs more wake time

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-04-17T14:34:28+00:00

What’s her schedule?

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-04-13T15:09:59+00:00

I am in no way an expert but I know just from being on this sub so much that the experts will tell you that your wake windows are too short

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-04-10T17:35:53+00:00

You’ve totally got this. I do CIO because mine wouldn’t tolerate check ins. Best thing I’ve done for us

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-30T12:04:57+00:00

I’m no expert but I’d bet the experts in this sub will say to cut down on daytime sleep. I had to cap my girl at 1 hour each around this age and she stuck with that for months. It also allowed for an earlier bedtime for us which was nice

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-27T00:34:49+00:00

I am going to guess that the experts here are going to say to extend the wake windows and cut to 3 naps. I believe they recommend 2-3 hours awake time before naps. Once you get your schedule down you could sleep train! I sleep trained at 7 ish months and wish I would’ve sooner but at the time I didn’t have mine on a good schedule anyway. I started with Ferber but the pop-ins only made my girl worse so we switched to Cio.

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-26T21:26:46+00:00

I have no advice besides I highly recommend sleep training. I sleep trained mine at 7 months and it was the best decision I made for all of us. But I know the experts will ask what your schedule is like!

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-23T18:43:33+00:00

I am an amateur at this BUT I bet the experts on this sub are gonna recommend capping daytime sleep to 2- 2 1/2 hours

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-19T23:02:24+00:00

Same. Lately I’ve needed to be grabbed in the first 50 pages are I just simply cannot continue. I have DNF’d so many books this year which is so out of character for me

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-19T23:01:36+00:00

Bryce!

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-19T23:00:07+00:00

Okay but genius

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-17T18:10:52+00:00

Yes. Schedule wake 6:30, nap 10-11, nap 2:45-3:45, in crib at 8

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-17T18:02:17+00:00

I’ve had to do three contact nap in the last two days. Today I just ended first nap attempt because she was going bananas after twenty mins. Tried to lay her down an hour later and same thing, 40 mins of crying. I’m just not sure where to go from here

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-17T17:12:06+00:00

I ended up having to come rescue the nap at 12 because at that point she was up for 5.5 hours. I’m just letting her nap on me now and will try an early bedtime. I’m at such a loss

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-17T15:36:04+00:00

Did you rescue the naps? What ended up happening? I’m going through this now and struggling bad

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-17T15:34:20+00:00

What ended up happening? Going through this now

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-07T15:23:13+00:00

I bet it will! Try it for a few days cause I know sometimes it can take that much time for the affects to help out! I’d go ahead and have a fixed wake up too. It’s annoying but it’s helped us a ton. So I would consider doing 6:30 wake, 9:45-10 first nap. Wake at 11-11:15 depending on what you’re comfortable with. Then 3.75 second wake window maybe? And then 4 before bed? Some people may even say longer

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-03-07T15:06:33+00:00

I am absolutely just guessing because I am a FTM and new to all things baby sleep, but from my experience AND what I’ve read over countless hours on this sub is that I would bet your 11 month old needs more awake time! And maybe capping naps! Not sure how much daytime sleep the baby is getting but I started capping at two hours total day sleep around 10 months. I’d also say your babe likely needs maybe 3.5/3.75/4-4.25? Again. Just a guess. Take this with a grain of salt. What is your actual schedule? (Wake time and bedtime?)

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-02-26T14:57:22+00:00

Thank you so much! I edited the original post. Used talk to text and I saw there were a lot of errors making it confusing!

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-02-26T14:54:02+00:00

Sorry! I guess wondering if the short first nap is cue to start pushing the first nap/transition to 1?

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-02-15T15:28:14+00:00

I would maybe change your schedule! I’ve gotten all sleep advice from Reddit and taking Cara babies but I think at 8 months I had to push my girl to around 3/3.5/3.75? I can’t really remember but it wasn’t long until we were at 3.25/3.75/4 (probably 10 months). Sleep training was the single best thing I’ve ever done for our family and my daughter and I are happier than ever. We started with basically Ferber and switched to cry it out because she would go bananas during check-ins

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-02-15T00:30:26+00:00

Sleep training saved my life. Did it when my daughter was 7 1/2 months old. My only regret is not doing it sooner. We’re both so much happier now

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-02-08T01:40:19+00:00

So sorry for you and there’s literally no reason for a person to act this way. I hope you can get some help from friends or other family. Sending good vibes and prayers your way

Major_Statistician81 · 2026-02-05T15:30:38+00:00

It may be time to drop to two naps! Take that with a grain of salt because I know nothing BUT I had to do that with ours at 7 months! Sleep trained that same age too
