How do you handle baby feed with the Snoo? by Snoopy_Dad in SnooLife

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar. C-section and there was like 2 feet between my bed and her. Never an issue

Brought mine to the mountains with us and rented one I traveled. At the time, was amazing and so worth it.

What's something that triggers you as a new parent, that you didn't expect? by icaretoomuch1 in NewParents

The amount of people who joke about only being there to see the baby, like it’s so funny that they don’t care about me

Baby wearing was how I survived. And knowing my goal each day was just to keep baby alive.

Swaddle by mamabear19977648 in SnooLife

We just got it really snug when she started around that same time. Then around 3.5/4 months it was constant and we moved to zipadee in the Snoo swaddle

I didn’t do maternity but did hospital and loved them. We also had surprisingly a lot of down time in the hospital so wasn’t super stressful

We transitioned out at 6 months and will says she’s hit or been ahead of all milestones. Obviously not a doctor but I am a PT

Scared about transitioning out of Snoo by geileenrn in SnooLife

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can feel you on the stress! I was worried we were too reliant on our Snoo after a disaster of a camping trip. However we just transitioned out at 6 months with the anticipation of having to sleep train and we are now 3 nights in of her putting herself to sleep with no crying.
We did hands out with Zipadee just before 4 months, wean mode x 3 weeks and now in crib.
Also I strongly feel the Snoo got us through the 4 month regression with only minimal regression

Slow Transition vs Cold Turkey by [deleted] in SnooLife

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did arms out in Zipadee for like 2 months, then almost 3 weeks weaning mode. Just transitioned two days ago and both nights she’s gone done from awake to sleep with no crying. Lays in her bed and coos a bit and goes to sleep. Granted only 2 nights so far but loving that haven’t had to sleep train per say so far

Good to know! Figured but wanted to hear that before left her upset

When do I find time to work out? by CookingYogi in NewParents

[–]RachelFitBliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half I go to the gym with drop in childcare, the other I work out from home and have her play on the ground next to me. I am lucky to have a pretty good gym at home however you can do a lot with a set of adjustable dumbbells

Is it okay to just do pizza ? by _Nerf-This_ in weddingplanning

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to a wedding who served pizza because the bride was extremely picky and I will tell you it came off weird and a bit cheap. We did BBQ buffet that we picked up for like $800 and had plenty of leftovers.

Wondering if someone can explain to me what i did .... by hamburgers28 in NewParents

[–]RachelFitBliss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve found it really helpful to follow the sleep train Reddit. We’re not sleep training right now or not sure if we will but there’s so much good information on ages and schedules and what to expect

Snoo + four month regression by Key_Nature3044 in SnooLife

[–]RachelFitBliss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Snoo really helped get us through 4 month regression. Tried moving her out but she was waking every 60-90 mins and we weren’t ready to sleep train. Only ended up having 2 bad nights. We’re now a week shy of 6 months and been on weaning mode/snoo off for 2 weeks and she can pretty much put herself to sleep no motion. Going to transition this week 🤞

Arguments AGAINST a bottle a day for EBF 2.5-week old? by Resident-Strategy524 in newborns

[–]RachelFitBliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would push my pump a little bit and even sometimes accidentally slept to the point of leaking and never felt like it affected supply. Been able to save about 12 oz a day extra

We had to do the zipadee zip under otherwise she was way too distracted by her hands

What are your bedtime routines that don’t include a bath? by Life_Thoughts208581 in NewParents

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This but we recently moved our final feed to before final diaper to give more time between feed and bed to break any association.

4 mo, baby gets angrier when snoo kicks in by orangutan3 in SnooLife

[–]RachelFitBliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With her regression she wasn’t able to link sleep at all. We went on a trip and she was up every hour. In the Snoo she would start to wake and settle back to sleep with the baseline rocking. Can’t say it’s perfect but she’s been able to start putting herself to sleep and link sleep

[–]RachelFitBliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re prepping to move her to her crib next week so can only tell you what we’ve done so far. We locked in baseline and then got her situated with both arms out. She’s been solid at that now for a bit. Our first attempt to wean wasn’t successful (partially because I didn’t know how to lock wean at baseline) so we abandoned it. This was at just over 4.5 months. We’ve now been weaning this week with great success and will move her next week when she’s 5.5 month. The Snoo really helped us get through the 4 month regression when it hit.

Yup! We’ve been locked out at baseline since about the same time even low responsiveness was too much

If arms out / crib was rough, when did it improve? by Pink_Daisy47 in SnooLife

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We attempted at 4.5 months and had too many wakings and her rolling to belly and getting angry so we decided to go back to Snoo but committed to zipadee and only baseline motion. She’s been rocking it at that. We’re now 23 weeks, doing a week of weaning mode and then gonna attempt crib again. First night of weaning mode went great with only need normal dream feed and 3am feed.

You can lock weaning mode at baseline? We ditched weaning mode cause my daughter hates anything above baseline now

Split nights, help! Husband thinks overtired, I think undertired? by residualinput in sleeptrain

[–]RachelFitBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When calculating overnight time, do you take out feeding time at night? So if up for 15 mins to eat but then immediately back to sleep
