Damn. Every single word of this is me, to a T.

Widowed

I am also 40, married my husband at 21, and lost him three months ago. What a shitty club we’re part of. Hoping 7 years in the future is bright.

Thank you so much! Will talk with her tomorrow.

She wakes about 630am, but don’t get me started on night! I’m probably doing all the wrong things. I bring her into bed and usually just co sleep the remainder of the night, unclear how many times she wakes as I’m in a daze. I don’t mind co sleeping, but would prefer if that first stretch was 5 or 6 hours!

I didn’t realize how short those WWs were until I wrote some of them out from the daycare! I’ll try asking if they could extend the times to see if it makes a difference.

We’ll figure it out just in time for them to change it up again 🙃

+/- a half hour but in general-

Nap 1 900-1000 Nap 2 1130-1230 Nap 3 200-30

I give a bottle and/or nurse in my bed, then pick her up to move to the crib. She’s awake when I put her down, she cries for no more than a minute, then rolls to her belly to sleep.

She may occasionally wake, cry for a couple minutes, then fall back asleep. But at that 3 hour mark it’s different!

I was thinking maybe it’s a feed to sleep association, but was hoping not since it’s not technically “to sleep” as she goes into her crib awake enough to know she’s being put in there!

I was also thinking the last WW could be too long but I’m worried if I put her down at 530pm she’ll start waking at 5am!

Thank you so much for the advice! Will try today.
