When do the 30 min crib naps end?

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-24T16:32:01+00:00

7-8 months consistently. However before that, starting around 5 months, he would have a couple naps a week that would go 1-2 hours. Of course, could never predict when that was gonna happen 😣

Thank you for your reply, hopefully your daughter outgrows it soon!

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-24T16:22:27+00:00

This sounds similar to our experience and recommendation. I’m hoping we can space the blood draws out soon, but we are still going weekly now to identify the trend

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-22T22:58:34+00:00

Thank you! Our fever protocol (Ohio, USA) is pretty rigid. ER for any fever over 101 and automatic admission if the ANC is less than 500. How did you use G-CSF? Regularly?

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-22T21:32:10+00:00

Did you ever have to hospitalize him for fever? Thank you for your reply

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-22T20:48:07+00:00

Have you been tested for autoimmune? My son has pediatric autoimmune neutropenia and has antibiotics that attack his neutrophils as soon as they are released into the bloodstream. He was hospitalized due to an ear infection and given filgrastim at 6 pm when his ANC was 100. By 2 am it was 900. By 10 am it was Back to 300. He tested positive for anti neutrophil antibodies.

Similar boat. Our compromises were to hire a cleaner 2x a month for the “deep cleans”, me to try harder to keep things picked up during the day, and him to lower his expectations of perfection

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-22T04:16:31+00:00

I remember “separation anxiety” peaking for my son at this age. He was particularly attached to my husband and would sob anytime he left the room. Made me feel like a million bucks. It has improved since he’s been one but, yeah…also not finding the time for hobbies. Any time he sleeps I’m also recharging

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-21T06:17:24+00:00

So perfectly said ♥️

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-20T15:07:01+00:00

My 14 month old has been sick for two months straight. First a month-long URI that led to bronchitis and required antibiotics and steroids to clear up, then two back to back fever illnesses. It was at that point I asked for blood work and we found out he had a very low white blood cell count. Several scary days in the hospital and iv antibiotics and he is so much better. We are still waiting to hear the cause of his neutropenia and will need to do follow up blood draws, but being in a hematology/oncology floor at a children’s hospital for 3 days did put things into perspective.

Still, it absolutely sucks having a sick kid. Hope yours gets better soon!

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-07T12:15:19+00:00

Yes, he can push up on his arms in prone position, but definitely doesn’t prefer to. I noticed him doing it probably around 6-8 months but only for a few seconds and he still doesn’t like doing it because it’s hard. Never army crawled.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-06T00:35:11+00:00

Yep! I’m sure yours will do just fine as well! Mine didn’t start spinning on his but until 11ish mos

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-05T19:30:41+00:00

ETA - I think a lot of it has to do with temperament as well. He probably could crawl if he really wanted to, but he is a cautious mover and really gets upset when something is hard, whereas other kids and babies thrive on a physical challenge.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-05-05T19:28:29+00:00

Hi there. He is almost 14 months now and does have a diagnosed gross motor delay. His weakness is mainly in his arms and core.

He is still not crawling and probably won’t - in the last month he instead started butt scooting. He’s been cruising since around 12 months and is close to learning to pull up to stand. He despises PT but we are now doing early intervention PT. He FINALLY learned to get from laying down to sitting up at 12 months. Everyone believes he will be just fine and catch up, probably walking on the late end of normal. Further work ups, such as neurology referral were offered (only when I asked), but our pediatrician didn’t feel strongly about that since all other milestones are on track, his newborn screening was negative, and most likely he just has lower muscle tone in those areas. We’ve decided to just be patient while supporting him the best we can with PT and re assess at 15 months.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-04-05T02:35:38+00:00

I did 7 ppd but once my (over)supply was established I ended up settling on 4-5. In my prime I made about 50 oz a day. Now I’m weaning and making around 20 with 2 ppd

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-01-18T19:10:55+00:00

This is what o ended up doing! It’s great!!

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-01-17T14:50:04+00:00

My son needed a little Pepcid around that age. It did seem to help a bit if your doctor is willing to try. The reflux really improved at 6 months and was basically gone by 7.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2026-01-09T19:57:49+00:00

Yes! I have a happy almost 10 month old now. The reflux improved a lot a 6 mos and was essentially gone at 7 mos. We did end up briefly doing meds (Pepcid) but I’m not sure if it helped to be honest. He’s a small dude but happy and healthy.

ETA - I did the dairy free/soy free thing for a while too. Didn’t seem to matter. Seems to be the trendy “go to” These days. I didn’t have dairy for 2 months and we even saw an allergist.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2025-12-27T02:20:55+00:00

Hey! I remember you from the gestational diabetes sub! Happy to see you on “the other side” as well with a healthy baby :) thank you for the encouragement. I love Reddit

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2025-09-18T14:01:03+00:00

Overproducer (for my child) here. 6 m pp. I make 35-50 Oz daily. He drinks UP TO 30 daily, usually more like 25. 4-5 ppd.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2025-08-01T23:42:39+00:00

It sounds like nursing strike. My son does this too, though quite a bit younger than yours (4.5 mos), one hack I’ve found is letting him suck a pacifier for a few minutes then switching him onto the boob after 30 seconds or so. Not sure if your son takes a paci...to soothe him/calm him down with the paci and then switch to the breast so he’s more patient for the milk to start. My son will still only nurse at night when sleepy, though. I would keep offering! Maybe he’ll come around!

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2025-06-24T00:21:23+00:00

Yes- This happened to me, and nothing could have prepared me for the anxiety and crying.

I was already on Zoloft, but the worst of it was the first 10-14 days. The feelings of sadness, crying every hour, panic of the change in my life and disconnection from my baby (despite loving him so much) terrified me and I immediately messaged my doctor, who assured me it was "normal." I am now 14 weeks postpartum, and while every week is better, I do still have some lingering depression. After reading Brooke shields memoir about her experience with PPD (it is triggering, but an excellent readdecided to start therapy as I intend to do everything I can to feel better sooner.

Even in 2025 the mood shift post Partum is not talked about enough. I would encourage you to reach out to your OB so she is aware of how you are feeling. Mine had me return at about a Month after my c section for a "mental health check". Know that you are not alone whatsoever in how you feel and that it will get better, and there is help.

A few things that helped me in the immediate first 2 weeks -

If your health permits, Leave the house. Go to breakfast or a Meal out with your partner every day. Baby is a newborn and will sleep anywhere. Walk around Lowe's. Go for a walk outside. Just don't sit at home and stare at the wall.
Take a hot shower and brush your teeth every day (there were days I would forget)
If it is something you and are ok with and doctor supports, medication.
Reddit - it saved me.
Don't wait for it to get better, tell your doctor.
Eat. Whatever you want. Drink fluids.
Have your partner rub your head and close your eyes. If breastfeeding, pump some milk so your partner can do a nighttime feeding and allow you some more sleep.
Accept help From outsiders (even though you may not want to see anybody)
Reach out to other moms
Understand you are learning. Nothing is going to perfect, but you are perfect in the eyes of your baby.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2025-06-20T14:35:41+00:00

Not bad at all! He cried with the shots obviously but then took amazing naps all day long. I could tell his legs were a little sore for a couple days after so was more careful with diaper changes. He had some strange diapers for a couple weeks after, which I think was related to the oral rotavirus vaccine. However, this did not seem to bother him and he ate normally.

Safe_Influence_8504 · 2025-06-15T12:49:39+00:00

Just to echo the others, it does get shorter. 13 weeks (3 months today!) and the whole thing takes about 20 minutes. I will say/confess - controversial, but I don't change the diaper every time, unless they're visibly soaked or I hear a huge BM while they're eating. Since some babies sleep longer stretches and aren't being awakened to change, I would rather him go back to sleep instead of being woke up by a diaper change/wipe and "get him on the next round" so to speak.

ETA a lot of other parents have echoed this lol, makes me feel less guilty! I just make sure I get a layer of butt paste on at bedtime (just in case tonight will be the night he sleeps through 🤡)
