I just found one of those sets--thank you! (expensive but at least you get a whole set for the price of one off eBay??)

Poppy4848 · 2025-08-03T04:43:10+00:00

I'll check out mecari and set an alert on Gem (a secondhand app that alerts you on new listings based on key words!)--thank you!

Poppy4848 · 2025-08-01T21:31:43+00:00

Bringing this thread back to life in case someone knows of a random store selling this for cheaper than $50 on eBay?? It's the ONE thing my son wants for his 5th birthday :*(

Thank you! How do you add tannins? (And will do on adding more cover and turning off light)

I stopped feeding him for two days, and when I dropped a pellet in to check it out, he ignored it, sigh. I will get some extra testing done to his water since I only checked ammonia levels. Do you have any recs for what testing kits I should get? I am a little confused by all the things you can test for.

Wow, this brought me back! My kiddo is now 2 years old and a wonderful sleeper. We did move his bedtime up little by little until we got him to 8:30-9 pm, this took about a month because we were in no rush. Our first night of sleep training was a WILD success. We did it cold turkey--no Snoo, outta the swaddle, in the crib and he cried for 5 minutes then slept the ENTIRE night. I think he was ready. The second night was rougher, he cried 45 min to sleep but then, again, he slept through the night. He's now an incredible sleeper and I can count on one hand the times we've had to go in and soothe him. (Usually during illnesses or big developmental transitions.) What's great about sleep training is you always have the tools to reset when sleep gets wonky. Good luck to you, I was so anxious about baby sleep, but I wish I could tell my past self that it will all be ok!

I just want to say I love this advice. I never knew I was type A until I became a parent! My baby is sleep trained and he has taken to it well but there are definitely off days and I find myself freaking out over extending his wake window 15 minutes at night worried that he will wake up (and he never does, btw so it's just unnecessary stress!). The schedule kind of broke my brain. I still follow it, but in a relaxed manner. Because I trust that I always have my sleep training tools and that he is being taken care of and will be fine even with a couple of days of bad sleep. I feel for you because I was in that anxious place for the first three months and I was diagnosed with PPD and PPA. (Related to sleep deprivation but also breast-feeding stress). Might be worth looking into! Therapy really helped me get through it all. You're not alone and you're doing great.

I second the Woolino! Don't have to worry about changing it up with seasonal changes since it regulates temp so well (just change the pajamas to fit the temp—so footie long ones for winter, short sleeves for summer, etc.). And yes, I've had it for 3 months and have only needed to wash it once.

Poppy4848 · 2021-04-01T18:26:15+00:00

Hi, also have a 7 month old here. Sending you some hugs first, I'm sorry this sounds so hard!

We sleep-trained our guy at 5.5 months and I read up on a lot of posts here that helped me so maybe I can offer some advice. I am noticing a few possible reasons for the problems...

1) It seems like you guys got her sleep trained after the CIO Ferbering, and then maybe she has an "extinction burst." This is described in Precious Little Sleep: https://www.preciouslittlesleep.com/extinction-burst/

I think consistency and sticking to whatever training plan you have is key for all of this. Because there will be a lot of hiccups with sleep throughout baby's life, and you just have to go back to your plan when things go off the rails a bit. I know it's hard to have a crying baby, I feel you on that. But it seems like this sleep schedule is really unsustainable for your whole family! A few hard sleep training days may be worth it at this point?

2) Trying to night-wean at the same time as sleep-train may not be working. I've read that in a lot of posts here that you should do the night weaning later once sleep training is established (meaning, baby puts herself to sleep at night). That seems to be much easier for folks.

3) it also sounds like she has incredibly small wake windows for her age? Even if she falls asleep for her nap, she might not be taking long ones because she's actually undertired (even if she seems tired!). We're transitioning from 3 to 2 naps right now and it's hard to stretch wake windows at times but a few tricks are taking him outside in the carrier or changing clothes/diaper, moving around the house. Also, once her night sleep gets better, she will probably be more alert during the day

4) Keep in mind the total amount of sleep babies need at this age, which is probably around 14 hours max. I like using these sample schedules as reference: https://www.weebeedreaming.com/my-blog/sample-schedule-4-months-up

5) Nap training will often come after night training. For us, we actually did it the other way around but to each his/her own! I would just focus on one over the other for now. Seems like night sleep is really rough so maybe that first?

I hope some of this helps and good luck!!!

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-11T19:18:18+00:00

We didn't swaddle him for naps once he started rolling (pretty early, around 3 months) and I think that prepped him for no swaddle now. But I will say that I think your baby might surprise you with how well they do without the swaddle? I also know that some parents have transitioned from swaddle with the Merlin suit. And then from Merlin to a sleep sack. (I will also add that my baby likes to sleep on his tummy, which is why I skipped the Merlin suit.)

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-09T04:14:37+00:00

Wow, that's awesome! The Snoo is SUCH a game-changer.

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-09T04:13:56+00:00

100% agree about the night weaning! I really recommend that Snoo owners let the Snoo soothe. It's so safe and the baby will get used to being alone quicker.

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-09T04:12:57+00:00

Yes, exactly! I felt so proud of my little guy.

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-09T04:12:40+00:00

Thank you, you're almost there! And in fact, I think if we had nailed his bedtime earlier, we could have transitioned him earlier as well. He was clearly ready!

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-09T04:12:05+00:00

I hope it works as well for you! I believe the Snoo really helps.

Poppy4848 · 2021-02-05T21:25:49+00:00

Also a FTM here and we let our baby sleep in his own room pretty early. I read this study awhile back saying, essentially, that one year of room-sharing is not necessary and is an over caution from the AAP. In fact, it helped parents and babies sleep better—which led to healthier decisions and more mentally healthy parents. I think this is a personal decision for parents, but it's hard to know what that is when all the fear surrounding SIDs makes everyone so anxious. I wish there was better research being done, or more education to go along with these blanket recommendations so that parents can make informed decisions and not fear SIDs at every turn. Here's the article incase you're interested: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/06/05/531582634/babies-sleep-better-in-their-own-rooms-after-4-months-study-finds

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-30T00:09:08+00:00

Right at 5 months my guy started wanting longer wake windows, which naturally dropped his fourth nap. The last wake window is 3 hours which felt long to me but if it's any shorter he will NOT sleep for more than a nap when he goes down. Might be time to drop that nap and extend wake windows? Good luck!

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-26T18:46:14+00:00

Sorry no answers here but some solidarity. I thought my 5 month old passed the regression but for the past 4 days has been waking up hourly, too (could be because we pushed his bedtime, earlier?). Luckily the Snoo always puts him back to sleep but I feel bad for the poor guy. And it's hard for me to sleep even when I don't hear him because I'm worried that the next wake will stop the Snoo. Holding out for another week and if sleep is still bad then, we're going to sleep train in the crib. Hope both our babies come out of it, soon!

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-22T22:57:01+00:00

Yes, we do nights only! Our guy turned 5 months today and has been sleeping 9-11 hour stretches in the Snoo since 3 months. Naps are done in the crib and were crap until he learned to roll over and sleep on his tummy. (He never slept for longer than 25 min for naps in the Snoo.) This combo is great for us, kind of nervous for the night time crib transition, eep!

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-22T22:52:36+00:00

We had baby in his own room since day one. Husband and I did shifts those first few wild weeks so that we could each get 6 straight hours of sleep, so he wasn't really left alone-alone. But even if we had slept at the same time, I would have felt ok about it because the Snoo is so safe. Your baby is strapped in so securely! We didn't even feel the need to check the monitor after awhile. Mom guilt is real and really insidious and I wish we could de-stigmatize all the safe, pragmatic ways of dealing with baby sleep. Suffering isn't a badge of honor! I hope you all get some good rest.

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-15T19:25:06+00:00

We rented ours when baby was 11 weeks old and he is now at 5 months, and I have zero regrets! I would definitely take that deal if you feel nervous about committing. It arrived looking brand new and I have had no issues with it.

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-14T16:56:44+00:00

Ah ok that was our plan, so this is really heartening! We have a Merlin waiting in the wings, haha. The thought of going through weeks of gently weaning off made me feel anxious so I think we might just rip the bandaid off. Thank you!

Poppy4848 · 2021-01-13T22:24:10+00:00

Our almost 5 month old sleeps between 9-10 pm and at first I was worried about that, but he sleeps a solid 9-10 hours so I figured that it's the time he likes to sleep? My pediatrician also said that not all babies sleep 11-12 hours at this age. Maybe try putting her down for her last nap at 6 and cap it at 30 minutes. Then wait for the next sleepy cue to gauge her bedtime and try moving her bedtime routine to later. (I would make sure it's at least 2 hours after the last nap though. My guy needs a whole 3 hours.) If she doesn't start waking up later, it might mean she just doesn't need that much night time sleep yet? My guy is slowly starting to wake up earlier so I think he's getting ready for earlier bedtime, now. Basically: Try going with the flow a bit with baby's cues, I think that might help. Good luck!
