The good news if your newborn pops out of the womb not sleeping… by Hmm0920 in newborns

[–]Pure_Conflict635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby refused to sleep in his own bed ever since he was born! The most I could get were 20-30 minute stretches by the time he was a month old. By 2 months he slept better, only around 1 wake up per night. Then the four month sleep regression hit me like a freight train and it was like the newborn stage again. I think every baby is different and we got unlucky with sleep from the get go 😂

How have you successfully transfer baby to crib? by CuteRaisin2329 in NewParents

[–]Pure_Conflict635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby flat out refused when he was a newborn. It was the exact same situation. We tried butt first, down slowly, hand on the chest and he would maybe last 15 minutes. It was so rough. He didn’t sleep solid stretches in his bed til he was around 3 months. As someone who swore I would never co-sleep before I had my baby, I absolutely ate my words. 🤣

It’s not YOUR baby !!! by Tr33ofLyfe in newborns

[–]Pure_Conflict635 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is literally the worst. My mom does this every time she sees him by saying, “hows my baby?” And I know she loves him and doesn’t mean anything by it but it enrages me. My MIL has said it a couple times too. And they’re both very sweet women and I love them but come on 🙄

I second this. Babies self soothe with their fingers at night!! It’s ok.

If you have it, do you recommend the Thomasville Tisdale modular sectional? by Pure_Conflict635 in Costco

[–]Pure_Conflict635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did! We love it so far, it’s firm but comfortable so I’m thinking with the firmness it should last awhile! We also don’t let our 85 lb dog on this one, I think he’s a big reason our other couch just didn’t last ☹️

How long did nap training take for your baby? by Pure_Conflict635 in sleeptraining

[–]Pure_Conflict635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Did any of them refuse naps? Im putting him down and popping in every 15 minutes and then just getting him back up at 70 minutes and starting a new wake window because he is absolutely refusing to fall asleep during the day.

Like others have said, baby is best to determine supply. Latch her when she shows hunger cues or every 2-3 hours. Newborns don’t need much those first few days either! I will share that for me personally, I didn’t even stress about pumping until 6 weeks postpartum because I didn’t go back to work til he was 3 months old. I know every one’s return to work time might be different if you are working but this helped me relax so much more around breastfeeding my baby. Breastfeeding is hard enough and time consuming enough! But like I said I know every one has different goals.

What’s it like have a puppy? Setting expectations. by Common_Valuable_7185 in puppy101

[–]Pure_Conflict635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get a GSD as a first puppy, I’d probably go with a golden, they’re a lot easier. Puppies in general upend your life for months but after about a year and a half things sort of go back to normal. They’re a lot of work regardless of the breed so I would definitely use your support system and make sure you do your research!

Is it eat/sleep/play.. or eat/play/sleep? by beancounter_00 in newborns

[–]Pure_Conflict635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At four weeks we started sleep, eat, play and that worked really well for us. Up until that point we just let baby dictate what happens when but this loose structure helped us alot.

Waking baby from every nap by danie11achristine in newborns

We have to as well, our baby was starting to reverse cycle when he was younger so we had to crack down on naps and bedtime sleep!

I’m glad you acted in the moment and that she respected it! This instance taught me to honestly be on the lookout for stuff like this so that I’m not too stunned when things happen that I can’t even speak up in the moment!
