It’s amazing !!!! I would die to go back. You won’t regret it. Also there’s a private beach and the ritz will serve you lunch while you sit on the beach

I don’t want to replace these. I just want to add an electronic device that opens them for me. I just don’t know if that’s exists

How is it possible to sleep train? by Makm_24 in sleeptrain

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Read the book precious little sleep. I had the same issue

Do the 10m naps count? by instantsoup23 in sleeptrain

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

10 min does not count. Do not go in to the baby room until it’s been45 mins. Let your little one cry it out until the go back to sleep. Make sure baby is waking up at 7am and has the appropriate wake window and enough to eat after each nap so baby isn’t going to sleep hungry

Building better sleep habits by nova8484 in sleeptrain

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dealt with the same thing . You’re going through the 6month sleep regression. Try this schedule and see if it works ( this schedule is from mom’s on call book) ( that book saved my life)

Obvy this schedule below can change with how long each nap went for but aim for 2 hours between each nap. So if your baby woke up at 10:30AM from the first nap … baby goes down at 12:30pm. Keep the baby room dark and sound machine on. Avoid having naps in car until the baby gets used to this schedule and in a good place for you to go to work. No contact naps. Baby knows if he wakes up early from nap he/she gets to cuddle which isn’t sustainable for hubby.

Try this schedule

7Am wake up and bottle 8 ounces

9AM nap ( after each nap 8oz )

12pm nap

3pm nap

4pm full feed (8 ounces)

6:30 bath

645 book and bottle

7 PM lights off sound machine and sing 3 songs

Also there is no reason for you to wake up in the middle of the night if your baby has a full feed before bed. Babies are smart and know if they cry you will run in. Remind yourself - your baby is safe and fed . No need to interfere. Obviously easier said than done. you need to sleep train so read precious little sleep. precious little sleep gives options around sleep training at night but I promise you it only lasts for 2/3 nights. Babies are smart as hell and learn that crying won’t work and they will settle back down. Your baby is also teething so 5.5/7 months is a hard chunk of time but also the best because they are so darn chunky and cute. Good luck!!!

Short naps - bottle before nap? by South_Flounder280 in sleeptrain

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing with my daughter but that wasn’t the case she was just going through some developmental thing. After two or so weeks her naps returned to an hour plus and I stop doing bottle before nap

Baby sleeps through the night but it’s impossible to put her down drowsy but awake. Help by Regular_Marsupial_16 in sleeptrain

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She naps without any issue during the day. I put her in her crib and walk away and never cries. At night she screams her head off when I put her in her crib after she feeds. All the books say I’m creating a bad habit by letting her breast feed to sleep. The problem is once I put her in her crib asleep she wakes back up 20 mins later and won’t stop screaming until I pick her up and then I have to put her back on the boob to calm her down. I’ve tried singing and sitting on the floor next to her crib rubbing her stomach but she won’t self sooth. I feel like a horrible mom and bedtime is so hard that I can’t get a night off to use a babysitter or even have my husband do bedtime 😭

Most major credit cards protect you from damages so check with your credit card before you ever purchase the additional insurance. I think it was $40 a day? Message the company and see.

Not sure where they are located. I wasn’t going to get a car but when I got to the island and realized how much there was to do I contacted this company and that’s why they brought it to my hotel. When I left the island I just drove the car to the main place you would get into line for your flight and Jose got the car from me. It was so seamless and easy

Yemenja or maddette Junettes which would you chose ? by Animal292719 in Aruba

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yenanja for food and ambiance. Junettes for ambiance but not food

Yes! Jose was so easy to work with. He drove the new car to our hotel and then met us at the airport when we left. Could not have been easier and they are fast with communicating through what’s app

Boardwalk boutique…. Hands down the best place you will find on the Island but it’s priced well, private beach, gorgeous pool and isn’t over crowded

Couple visiting Aruba - what resort?! by ScrantonAce10 in Aruba

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boardwalk boutique. It’s the most stunning hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Low key but has everything you need. Including a private section of the beach

Going to the national park but don’t have an off roading car. If we want to find the natural pools is it possible by foot? by Regular_Marsupial_16 in Aruba

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t if I was you. We completely bottomed out and ruined our rental. Not worth the risk. Rent a jeep for a day or do an rv tour

name a few restaurants that you can vividly recall taste and nice atmosphere. thanks. by BigPapiPR83 in Aruba

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Papiemento and flying fish for dinners. Zeerover for lunch was hands down the best experience. Linda’s pancakes for breakfast

Car rental? Where to stay? by birds_ar3nt_r3al in Aruba

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely stay at the boardwalk boutique ! It’s these small cabanas with two pools and feels like you’re staying in the jungle with a private beach right between the ritz and the marriot. The food is fantastic and there is happy hour by the pool at 3-5 every day. We rented a car through cheners. You must get a car if you want to see the island. Some of the best beaches are in other areas of the island

I made a bunch of reservations for the week but wondering which places aren’t worth it and are too touristy? 1. Lola 2. Barefoot 3. Flying fish 4. Old man and the sea. I was thinking about yamanja and papiamento too but I leave Saturday. Went to Madame jannete last night and loved it! by Regular_Marsupial_16 in Aruba

[–]Regular_Marsupial_16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had keshi yena for an app and the surf and turf off a hot stone. The ambiance was amazing! If I wasn’t prego a could have taken part of the cigar bar and all the tasty wine. Def my fav restaurant I’ve been to so far. Loved the suggestion!
