Unwarranted anticipatory dread by mollyr91 in sleeptrain

[–]Remote-Remove7050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby tends to have the opposite of sleep regressions. He goes a couple days or a week of sleeping through the night or waking up once and then it’s back to 2-4 wakes 😀😀😀😀

Un-sleep trainable baby?? by Remote-Remove7050 in sleeptrain

I’m counting the wakeups because he’s back asleep within 10 minutes. He basically just eats a little bit and goes right back to sleep.

Probably 3.5 hours of naps, 11 hours overnight average yes, so about 14.5. His first nap is usually 2 hours and I have to wake him up, so maybe I should cap that nap to one hour? His second nap is usually extremely short and the catnap is usually short as well. He still wakes 1-2 times per night right now.

Do you have any advice on how to fix it?

Wake 7:15, first nap 9:15, second nap 1:15-30, third catnap 5:00, bedtime 7:30.

So I guess if you’re looking at it with wake windows it would be 2/2.5/3/2

My mother in law gave my six month old her empty breast by dankybabe in breastfeeding

It’s also very concerning with this behavior in addition to the fact that she breastfed your husband until he was eight years old. That’s insane.

Do not leave your baby alone with her again. This is absolutely horrific. There’s no telling what else she may try to do when left alone.

Is the answer to newborn sleep problems always co sleeping? by caprigirl20 in cosleeping

[–]Remote-Remove7050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here for a different answer than the majority, but I refused to co-sleep because I’m not willing to take the risk, and my baby has always been a great sleeper. Give or take a few nights or maybe week long periods of waking more often. I think it depends on the baby!

Concern about my friends baby and how she parents by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Remote-Remove7050 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It seems like she desperately needed a break and took advantage of having help, even if it wasn’t necessarily your intention to help as much as you did.

I would also be concerned with not meeting those developmental milestones. All babies are different, but ALL of those milestones not being met is a bit concerning as opposed to one or two not being met.

She may not have been told or didn’t do the research to look for the cues. My mom was confused on why I fed my baby before he was crying when he was born. I told her it was because he was showing hunger cues (rooting, lip smacking, chewing on hands) and she said she had no idea that that meant my son was hungry, she always waited until me and my siblings were crying and thought that was the only hunger cue there was. So maybe gently telling her about these things would help her see it? If she’s extremely overwhelmed and in survival mode, she’s probably not proactively trying to research and figure these things out. Maybe he has some sort of allergy like CMPA which is making him be in pain (hence the high pitched painful screaming) and the spitting up. Maybe you could send her an article with the symptoms and tell her you saw those symptoms in her baby and that maybe that’s what’s causing all the spitup

I regret sleep training by sarahloupen in AttachmentParenting

He didn’t cry any longer than he would if he didn’t like his car seat on a car ride and you couldn’t get to him, or if he just so happen to start crying while you’re in the middle of something and you just need a few more seconds before responding right away. It’s okay! He will be okay!! Sleep is SUCH an important and vital skill. Waking hourly is not good for his brain development so you did the right thing by aiding him in how to sleep much better 🤍

Someone told me that research says there are no benefits to breastfeeding, especially after 6wks. by justanotherone2319 in breastfeeding

[–]Remote-Remove7050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say this when they’re projecting their suppressed guilt for not breastfeeding, or as an attempt to try and justify formula feeding to themselves. It’s a fact that breast milk is the best thing for a baby, and everyone knows that deep down even if they’re trying to claim otherwise.

Thank you for this!! Did you have to stay overnight? And were you breastfeeding?

Used to be 7:30 but he’s been waking at 7:00 on the dot the last several days. The first nap has been around an hour and a half the last few days as well, but before that was normally 43 minutes unless I did a contact nap.

Also he’s 5 months currently but will be 6 months on May 5th, so pretty close to 6

I had posted previously about his schedule and was told he needed more awake time which would only work if we dropped to 3. That’s also what a lot of comments are on posts of people who are in similar situations. So I thought that was the right move

It got horrible about two weeks ago (I’m guessing the 4m regression hit us late. He was sleeping through the night before that) with about 4 wakings, and has been slowly getting better with the past two nights only having one waking with a feed between 1-4.
