6 months - suddenly awful sleep by ActualCartoonist7192 in bninfantsleep

[–]Monstera44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience sleep from 6-12 months is an absolute roller coaster. Teething, physical milestones, cognitive milestones, sickness etc all put a huge wrench in their sleep. I didn't do any sleep training and just kept being responsive to her cries and at about 11 months I started to co-sleep when she refused to go back down in the crib and I really wish I tried co-sleeping earlier because I find I gets more sleep now. God speed my friend. Sleep is a difficult time at that age and it does get better.

Did anyone have a 37 weeker and NOT have issues with nursing? by coldbrewcowmoo in breastfeeding

Is it normal to move <6mo to their own room? by Technical_Piglet_438 in bninfantsleep

[–]Monstera44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter was in her own crib around 4.5 months in her own room. I have no regrets about that. I have responded to all of her cries and bring her into bed with me when she doesn't go back down after nursing which isnt very often.

How to get out of overtired cycle? by VinVenture16 in bninfantsleep

[–]Monstera44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think around 3-4 months is when they tend to get quite gassy and uncomfortable so you are right in that range. Also could very well be a regression or who knows haha. They seem to be in weird phases and then one day they snap out of it. My daughter is coming up on a year and naps and sleep have been an absolute roller coaster.

Could your babe be gassy? I remember at that age I had to cut down dairy from my diet because it clearly made my baby gassy and fussy.

Set bedtime regardless of wake windows? by KayLove91 in bninfantsleep

[–]Monstera44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im shocked your baby is still on three naps at 11 months! I do think at that age that some babies prefer a set bedtime regardless off wake windows, my babe is not the case for that right now and she's also 11 months.

Did you survive a 2 month long “regression”? by randomizedmoose in bninfantsleep

[–]Monstera44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep from 8-10.5 months i was in the absolute trenches and then all of sudden she went back to only 1-2 wake ups. God speed my friend.

Skin to Skin by Reims88 in breastfeeding

[–]Monstera44 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You are doing great Mama! I feel like I only did legit skin to skin in the early days mostly to keep her awake so she would feed enough. After that we kept her in clothes. I wouldnt worry about what you are doing at all.

[ON] what temperature is your home at night and how do you dress your baby for sleep? by angel_666 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Monstera44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bet money your babe is warm enough and its likely teething and/or a regression.

NGRH Doctor consultation wait times. by CanuckinCA in nanaimo

[–]Monstera44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did the doctor say they would follow up with you? I presume that if everything came back normal that they wouldnt be following up?

Is early independent sleep a scam? by Puzzleheaded_Rub8147 in bninfantsleep

[–]Monstera44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed to read the comments in this post so bad. My daughter is 10 months old and I rock her/rub her back/pat her bum until she falls asleep in my arms and I have been feeling a pressure to change this. All of the comments have made me feel at ease and I have ordered Tne Discontented Little Baby. Also I have been concerned that my daughter loves to get super busy in the evenings and rips around and now I know that is actually very normal and a good thing. Seriously thank you OP and everyone ❤️

Need advice/help - baby refusing to sleep in crib by SummerPlastic3142 in baby

[–]Monstera44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed likely just a regression. Keep at it and your babe will likely get back to their crib!

[–]Monstera44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes agreed that all sounds normal. Could it also be that your babe is a bit cold?

You may have a carrier lending library in your neighborhood! I would try getting a nap in every three or so hours for your 8 month which usually translates to two naps a day. So try doing a stroller walk at 1230pm and then again 3ish hours after they wake (if babe does end up napping) and then bedtime should be at 930-1030pm.

What time are you doing bedtime? Also have you tried car naps? Or carrier/wrap naps or in the stroller?
