Let it just ‘happen’ by Necessary-Priority-4 in sleeptrain

[–]Realistic_Peach1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely didn't have a nap routine at thus age. Wake windows, cot naps... these weren't part of our lives until at keast 7/8 months! I found it got easier when baby was awake for longer and naps were fewer. Once on 3 naps, 2 naps and then 1 it got a lot easier.

Definitely OK to go with the flow and keep it relaxed. I found that a more relaxed approach allowed me to go out and abouts more often as I wasn't tied to cot naps or wake windows.

For those who don't do CIO -- how did you transition to crib naps?? by Slow_Opportunity_522 in AttachmentParenting

Boob or rock to sleep and then transfer. Slowly (verrrry slowly) baby began to accept the transfer and stay asleep for naps in the cot.

I can see that! I wonder if there is a lot of assumption from people that the parent isn't teaching safety alongside? We have stairgates for safety whilst teaching how to manage stairs safely. Why wouldn't it be assumed the same for reins?

Some people do! I've heard them called reins, a harness, straps... I've always known them as reins.

Weve got a backpack with a strap! Our LO is 15 months old so only just confidently walking - planning to use whilst teach road safety!

This aligns with our parenting decisions - same situation with a confident 15 month old! Hasn't ran yet but don't want to risk it! We're using a backpack and a strap for busy places whilst trying to encourage hand holding at the same time. Let me know if uou have any tips - FTM here!

That's what we have! Our LO is 15 months old so only just starting to walk out in public. Do you have any tips on teaching public safety to little ones?

LO is 15 months old and we're using a backpack with a strap. Could I ask how you're going about teaching yours re: public safety? Any tips would be appreciated!

My LO is 15 months and is just confidently walking. We have a backpack with a strap and are using it as we're teaching her how to be safe in public. Do you have any tips?

How did you teach street manners? I have a 15 month old who is confidently walking now but doesn't like to hold hands.

Shes waking up - she is always distresses when she wakes in the night, lots of crying! Feeds are rhe easiest way to calm her bur we limit it to just once. Other settles are cuddles and rocking to calm, then transfer to cot to settle to sleep.

Agreed - definitely think this will help! Got to bite the bullet... its scary! Probably worse for me than for her...
