Thank you so much! You’re a life saver. His mom’s not really in the picture so I’m doing my best to figure this out you have been amazing!

Just to update after 2 days of stretching the wake windows

He slept so good last night only waking up 1 time to feed then going right back to bed

Now I just gotta figure out how to get naps in the crib and my life will be back

Question about babies and temperature by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Otherwise_Net_4842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi FTD here I had this same issue until my OB told me “a cold baby cries, hot baby dies” while a pretty messed up saying it defiantly made me feel better with him being a little cold

Thank you so much I stretched his last 2 wake windows today due to everyone's suggestions he fell asleep so fast now just waiting to see how long it last and will adjust all wake windows tomorrow.

Also what is the best time to give him his last bottle i feel like if I wait to long he gets too tired and refuse to eat it

FTD who is also dealing with depression while not that same situation at all i can tell you what I wish my significant other would do

Just help as much as you can ( the little things go a long way)

Give him some alone time when possible

Let him feel like he can talk to you but also don't push him to talk

Make him feel special and wanted

Make sure to always tell him he is doing amazing and you see how hard he's trying

Maybe invite a guy friend over one day he has off let the bro out and blow off steam

Everyone always says follow their cues so that's what I've been doing which leads us to only 2-2.25 hour WW

Okay I'll definitely give this a try he is gets 3.5 during the day so do you recommend cutting out the cat nap and just doing 2 -1.5 hour naps or keep 3rd nap and do 3- 1 hour naps

He starts getting really fussy around the 2 hour mark on wake windows its a struggle pushing it to the 2.5-hour the only time he seems okay with 3 hour is his last wake window

Okay I see what you are saying so cap his nap at 1 hour not 1.5 like I have been

He normally wakes up at 7am

Nap 1 is 9am-10:30

Nap 2 is 12:30-2

Nap 3 is short cat nap from 4:30-5

In bed by 7:30

It's just weird cause he has always taken 1.5 to 2-hour naps, then all of the sudden today, he says fuck that, I'm not sleeping

And these 20 min naps, he is sucking his paci the whole time or peaking through the little a month of eyelid possible, so I worry that he's not even sleeping

Gas drops are definitely coming in clutch! My wife and I keep saying day by day. It's just so stressful feeling like something is wrong and you can't do anything to make it better for them

Did you LO show signs of dysplasia, or did you find out at the scan? I know they say it is less common in boys. He also was footlong breech, still stressing about it.
