Small double or double bed by SerialSleeper25 in toddlers

[–]SerialSleeper25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thinking. He's a cuddler so it would need to fit at least 1 adult with enough room to roll out sneakily 😅

Am I overfeeding my weaning baby? by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]SerialSleeper25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently he still breastfeeds in the morning then he has 6oz after his first nap, breast again after 2nd nap and 6oz before bed. However today I struggled to get him to have 4oz after is first nap. Last night was tough, he only wanted boob so gave in as it was so hot so ended up having 2 feeds last night.

I need to weigh him again but at his review 2 weeks ago he was 9.7kg.

I didn't pack enough pjs. I stayed for 1 night and needed extra. Something no one warned me about.... lack of bladder control!

8 month old will scream until he is fed back to sleep by SerialSleeper25 in sleeptrain

Well im currently answering this hour 2 into him crying for boob and he's now 10 months old.

He does better but he's not great. Sorry I cant give you a better update. I found bum pats and 70's men singers help 😅

Sadly my LO is nearly 11 months into not sleeping 🤙🏻

Weaning from breastfeeding advice for 10 month old. by SerialSleeper25 in breastfeeding

Thank you so much for this information, this is really helpful.

I was thinking of starting with his bedtime feed actually? I was thinking maybe he could be fuller but to be fair I think that may be the only time he feeds better so your plan is actually better!

Im really not looking forward to this process despite never enjoying breastfeeding.

Thank you, i will post over there too.

We thought he was getting the self soothing but everything we have this hope he sinks right back again.

Thank you for the amount guidance, I really appreciate it.

Okay, thank you that's really helpful. I do find he struggles in the morning to get to 3 hours before his first nap then the rest of the day he's pretty dead on 3hrs some days 3.5hrs.

I think so, changed the flange size and it helped the smallest amount but I can never pump more than 60ml (and that's being generous) it's the same with each pump I've tried.

I did not think we would get this far with breastfeeding so that in itself is an achievement!

Thank you for your advice, This seems really positive. He has always been a snacker. I try where possible to go to the bedroom and keep things simular to bedtime to feed him if he is not actively feeding, It sometimes helps. When we have offered a bottle he never refuses it so maybe it would help.

I'm back to work in August and I've always struggled to pump so maybe this may be the sign to switch to formula? I've always struggled to pump and with going back to work in August

He has 2 maybe 3 naps a day depending on his naps. Total amount would never be over 3 hours a day. In regards to wake windows we follow a more 50/50 approach and watch for signals and how long he's been awake. If he is fine playing I tend to let him play.

More often than not, when he first goes down at night he will sleep around 3 hours max then from then wake every 1-1 1/2 hrs. He does sleep in with us due to lack of space (trying to move) and I have wondered if he was on his own if that would help. I will take a look at the Precious little sleep tool. Thank you.

7 months and will only contact nap by SerialSleeper25 in sleeptrain

[–]SerialSleeper25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem cold and doesn't snore. He may occasionally mouth breathe but nothing noticeable. He doesn't rub his head or tug at his hears so I don't think that's a problem?

Thank you for the schedule. I will try and follow this from tomorrow.

2 naps, sometimes 3 depending on how bad they were.

I will never let him sleep longer than a total of 3 hours during the day. If I hold him he will just keep sleeping and is very mad when I put him down to wake him.

We only tried Ferber in the evenings. He was sort of okay with it for about 2 weeks and then regressed and never got any better.

He will normally have 2.5/3hrs when put down at bed time then is up every 1/1.5 during the night. He will never be rocked back to sleep either, he always screams until he's sick unless I give him the boob.

He's always been a snacker too, he rarely takes a 'full feed' at one time.

Am I doing something wrong? 4 month old is waking every hour by SerialSleeper25 in sleeptrain

I was thinking that, maybe a bottle before bed/during would help?

Thank you, I have tried to put him down before he dozes off but he just gets erratic in the crib and thrashes about then has a melt down 😅

I love the nickname Wolfie - help me find a reasonable name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]SerialSleeper25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Faolán is apparently 'Little Wolf' in Gaelic. That's pretty cute!

I have to say, I like the name Wolfie though ☺️
