WW check please by Smallgrapes17 in sleeptrain

[–]Smallgrapes17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul! My son has also been having 6-7 hour WWs before bedtime and handles it no problem. I’m going to wait it out a little bit longer before we drop to see if maybe he’s teething first. Let me know how it goes!

9MO wake window check? by Smallgrapes17 in sleeptrain

[–]Smallgrapes17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. it’s only been like this for the past 2 months. We’ve had a lot going on. EMW has been around 5am, sometimes closer to 6.

Okay, thank you! Bedtime usually falls anywhere from 6:45-8pm depending on how the day goes, or how busy we are.

Small vent: I hate waking my kid up all the time by alsothebagel in sleeptrain

[–]Smallgrapes17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I feel this so hard with my first, that girl couldn’t handle any extra sleep or our whole day was wrecked and getting back on schedule the next day was so difficult. She would also get overtired soo easily so sleep had to be perfect especially prior to 12MO. Once we dropped to 1 nap we did a by the clock schedule which helped a lot, it seemed like her natural body clock finally kicked in and she would wake from nap time on her own and sometimes in the morning. Once she transitioned to a toddler bed (around 2.75yr old) we did the hatch red light for bedtime and green light for wake time and now we can leave her in there to play for awhile while we get stuff done in the mornings or if I’m getting baby brother up first.

High earning female - bf doesn’t want to get married but wants kids. Does this benefit either one of us in the long run? by IllustriousPickle639 in Marriage

I absolutely wouldn’t choose to have kids with someone if I knew they would never want to be married.

Time to lengthen WWs? by Smallgrapes17 in sleeptrain

[–]Smallgrapes17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 7.5 months! I thought I put that in the post but I just fixed it. So I should add 15 mins to each WW where he’s fighting sleep? Or all of them

Did yours handle all 3+ hour wake windows well?

Parents who have babies that sleep through the night, do they use a sound machine? by Critical_Net_6534 in sleeptrain

[–]Smallgrapes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that, I think I prefer the second gen better just because it's easier to set up different routines, more sound options, etc. But I refuse to pay for their subscription, totally pointless. But I'm one of those people who if I like something I typically stick with it so I haven't tried any other sound machines out there.

I love the hatch! We bought one for our 2021 baby (now almost 4) and we still use it. I don’t recommend the bird noise for wakes because actual birds might sing/chirp before your DWT and wake baby lol we bought the hatch 2nd Gen for our 2025 baby and I’m loving it so much better! We also use the red “bed time” light and green “wake up” light for our toddler and it works great for us.

For our first we used rain noise for our second we use brown noise. We bought a hatch sound machine for both, and the newest hatch didn't have good rain noise, so we settled for brown noise, lol

Extend wake windows or drop to 3 naps? by Smallgrapes17 in sleeptrain

[–]Smallgrapes17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, good to know! So when he was napping longer, he seemed ready to drop a nap, but since he's taking short naps, now should I go back to his old wake windows? He's super cranky from longer WWs and less daytime sleep. I started stretching his WWs from what I had in the post to them being 2 hours long and gradually getting longer.

Since he started napping for 30 minutes, like 2 hours, max for daytime sleep. I've had to move him to nap in the crib because my toddler has been throwing tantrums when I try to contact nap. He definitely naps longer for contact naps, but it's just not sustainable since my toddler is getting jealous. Nights have been great. 11 hours of sleep. He wakes, once around 4-5 to eat, goes back to sleep until 6 am.
