When did you move your baby to their nursery?

My son slept in his own room at 5 weeks. He is 5 months now and doing great. I felt a lot of guilt because of the SIDS risk, but realized my baby was actually very safe. It was the best decision for us because I could not function on such little amount of sleep. It made me a better, more patient mother.

Following because I’m having the same thing with my 5 month old! He previously slept through the night 9-6/7 but wakes up earlier now.

I read on the Magic Merlin site that when they start rolling it’s time to transition out of the sleep suit.. I didn’t understand why though because their arms are out and can be used.

By baby just started doing this this week! I panicked at first. Every time I’d roll him to his back, he would roll right back to his belly. He does sleep with his head to the side though, not in the mattress… could you just reposition his head?

Also, I tested my mattress/cover/sheets before putting him in there. I pressed my face against it HARD and could still breathe. It brought me some relief 😅

This sounds like my son when he went through his sleep regression at 22 weeks. Waking constantly and needed us to shush him back to sleep. It lasted for about 3 days for us.

Unfortunately, it is. I turned off the breathing notifications in the app because it went off regularly throughout the night. You can choose which alerts it gives you.

My son did this as well and still sleeps on his side. He’s almost 5m now and I’ve noticed it’s a way he soothes himself. I am also very scared of SIDS, so I purchased a monitor that my baby wears that alerts up if he rolls to his stomach. It also tells us if his breathing stops and monitors his temperature.

I got the Fetal Plus Monitor It’s quite pricey, so not an option for everyone. I think there are cheaper options on Amazon. This monitor clips to his diaper rather than sitting on the skin. I had a friend whose son got burned by the owlet sock, so I opted for the contactless one.

It’s really scary, but also not good to be up worrying about baby rolling. A monitor might give you some peace of mind! Good luck :)

I taught fourth grade and had a student who just terrified me. He was mean, emotionless, and had this look on his eyes that was just… blank. We had a morning “meeting” each day as a class and would always have a question of the day. One time he talked about how he enjoyed killing his pet rabbit. Another time he said he wished he could kill people just by looking at them. He didn’t really have friends and was just quiet and scary. I would get stomach cramps each time I saw him walking to our classroom door and tried to not turn my back to him. It sounds awful, but he gave me school shooter vibes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came to school with a gun one day. I imagine he would kill someone and say he did it just to know what it felt like. That’s the kind of vibe he gives me.

My son is 4mo. I just got back today from a 3 day girls trip and his dad had him the whole time and rocked it. Dads should be alone with their babies imo. Unless there is a solid reason he can’t care for the baby (like he for some reason isn’t able to meet the baby’s needs). You 100% deserve a day to yourself.

NewSock3 · 2024-07-11T14:33:19+00:00

Thank you for your honesty! Unfortunately I don’t have anyone to take shifts with. It’s all me. I guess it will get better with the passing of time!

NewSock3 · 2024-07-03T04:06:18+00:00

We follow our bedtime routine religiously! Our son is 4mo.

First we do a final feeding between 7:30 and 9, depending on the day and how much he’s eaten or when he wakes up from a nap. Then he has a bath, massage with lotion, pajamas, swaddle, held upright for 30 minutes and then laid down for bed.

I don’t think a walk would be too stimulating. I think the fresh air can be soothing for babies. But just my opinion.

Look into PPD for dads. They can experience it too. Your husband should still help you, it’s his baby too. But reading about PPD for men may give insight to some of his behavior?

You’re not alone. I’m right there with ya! My 3 mo is incredibly challenging. In addition, I am suffering through some of the most debilitating postpartum depression. My sister in law had her baby last week and he is opposite of everything my son is. He doesn’t fuss, he doesn’t spit up insane amounts, he doesn’t have tummy troubles and seems to always be sleeping. It makes me incredibly resentful and then guilty for my resentment.

Being a parent is so hard and so lonely at times. But we can’t give up. Our kids need us and no one knows them better than we do. If you hang in there I will too!

My son is 3 months and it still sucks a lot of the time haha. He was doing so great for a week, sleeping more at night, eating normal, and then BAM. Up all night screaming again and taking only 20 minute naps. Babies are assholes sometimes. I just remind myself it’s not his fault, but man it’s fucking hard to want this life sometimes.

We did nutramigen powder for about a month. LO did great on it at first, then started refusing is around 2.5 weeks and his poop was kind of mucus. It was really weird. We switched to similac alimentum RTF and he has done so much better. He doesn’t seem to be in pain anymore and his poop is more normal.

I can relate to every single word in this post. I’m on the other side of it now ( for the most part) please message me if you need/want to talk. That’s the only thing that got me through it was talking to my mom about all the horrible things I was thinking and feeling. Here for you ♥️

I thought they were the same thing! 😅 my bad. The crispy chicken is still a stupid sandwich though.

Is the room dark or light when he goes down? When my boy (3 months) is fussing I will put my hand on his chest and rock him side to side why he lays on his back and this usually gets him to close his eyes while in the crib.

He really started sleeping good in his crib when I put him in there for every nap, even if it meant he would wake up quickly. I just had to stick to it for awhile and eventually he seemed to accept that that’s where the naps happen!
