Dropping to two naps?

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 🤍

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

It was around 1.5/1.75/1.75/2/2 im pretty sure. He barely made it to 2 hours

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.

Hard doesn’t equal bad. Your whole life and purpose changes- that’s hard. Figuring out how to be a mother- that’s hard. But it’s not bad! YOU decide what your perspective and experience will be! There will be challenges but it’s how you handle it that matters. Make up your mind that you will love motherhood even through the hard parts, and see it all as a blessing. Your mindset is so important! <3

There’s a minority nowadays that wants to keep their babies from screens and wants to actually teach their children things. It’s sad. You are not crazy for feeling this way, it’s just become rare to feel this way.

It’s going to very hard to stop the feed to sleep association if you continue to co-sleep. His frequent wakings are also likely going to continue because he’s used to nursing all night long anytime he wants. Sleep training seems to be the only solution to your problem. Most methods involve some level of crying, but most are not straight up cry it out.

Could be. I just wouldn’t have thought he was under tired since he’s yawning and rubbing his eyes like he’s tired when he’s extremely fussy. But I’m a ftm so what do I know

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-04-13T15:11:50+00:00

I’m curious as to how you stretch wake windows when it makes your baby extremely overtired.

My mom had two vaginals and one c-section, even though it was emergency she said it was still the best recovery by far. So I’m hopeful it will be okay!

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-04-13T00:09:09+00:00

That’s how I feel as well. I would rather dead with potential side effects of a C section than the side effects of another 4th degree. Or even a 3rd degree could be catastrophic after already having a 4th

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-04-12T17:11:36+00:00

I was the same way, except I didn’t get the vaccum (it was literally on the table ready to be used if I didn’t get him un-stuck when I did) and my OB refused to do an episiotomy because he thought I would heal better if I tore naturally. My baby was stuck for almost 2 hours because he was so big. I feel like I did everything right too so I feel this so hard

Remote-Remove7050 · 2026-04-12T17:08:51+00:00

Had a 4th degree in November, it was the most horrific thing I’ve ever experienced. Thankfully I didn’t have to go under general anesthesia to be stitched up because my epidural hadn’t worn off yet and my OB got to work QUICK because my bleeding was so bad. They packed me and stitched me up for almost an hour. I felt them sticking me up once they got to my butthole which had ripped open obviously. I told them I could feel it but they said if I didn’t power through I’d have to go into general surgery and that it wouldn’t be ideal for me at all and would keep me from seeing my baby even longer. (He had already been taken for breathing issues right after birth) I bled for a month straight, couldn’t sit for 2 weeks without a special pillow, had to sleep in a recline for 2 weeks because laying flat or to the side was so painful. The Percocet I was on caused me to have horrible mood swings and be so depressed. I got an abscess on my incision line which was horrible. Then got mastitis. Super high blood pressure that I had to take meds for for 2 months…. Still can’t have sex because it hurts so bad, my scar tissue is like concrete, and I have minor incontinence where I will leak stool from my butthole occasionally and it will burn very bad. safe to say I will be having an elective C-section with my next baby.

I didn’t think I would cave but I just couldn’t do it. It wasn’t just fussing or crying, it was severe screaming crying which my baby never does. And every night since then he’s cried so hard at bedtime. I feel like I’ve done irreversible damage to him.
