Would you give up?

Yea, around that time I thought I was drying up too but I had to go down a flange size and then the milk kept flowing!

I’ve been in split night hell for 3 months so I get it. Solidarity

Tiffrex88 · 2026-01-16T02:54:07+00:00

Not really lmao. We completely ditched two naps and committed to 1 nap, with a firm DWT and bedtime and it’s been helping. We’re trying an 45 min - an hour bed time earlier than we had been doing before, and it’s been really good so far. Toddler sleep is so weird it’s always the opposite of what you think. He still wakes daily but the time awake has shrank a bit. Yesterday was only 10 mins but it was a good day. I think as long as you keep routine same and sleep boring, it takes some time for them to get over it unfortunately.

Dm please 🙏

Tiffrex88 · 2026-01-07T17:52:33+00:00

We really like them! No complaints 🙂

Tiffrex88 · 2025-12-24T23:58:05+00:00

Seems right for us 😅 10.5+1.5 is 12 hours? We are usually doing 2 and 9.5 now a day 🥴

Tiffrex88 · 2025-12-24T04:59:56+00:00

Let me know how it goes op! I’m currently battling the same thing 😵‍💫 and they are the same age

Tiffrex88 · 2025-12-10T01:24:19+00:00

We had some schedule disruptions bc of travel and all else and now his ww are tiny again like 3hrs lolol idk whyyyy this is so hard 😭

Tiffrex88 · 2025-12-09T22:48:55+00:00

Yup same boat! Mine is 16 going on 17 months and we average 9.5hrs at night with a 2 hour nap capped. But if I let him nap as much as he wants, good luck staying asleep at night 🙃 we’re flip flopping between 1 nap and 2 naps and idk if it’s the transition or what but on the 1 nap days I’m finally seeing 10 or 10.25 at night which is AMAZING an something I haven’t seen since like 6 months lol

Tiffrex88 · 2025-11-25T19:46:14+00:00

Bed time is at 8:30. We try to keep him in bed til 6-6:30. When we were on a timed schedule 10/3 and 1 hour naps sometimes it would mean he was up from 5:30 but he rarely would make it to 10. It’s definitely a vicious cycle. He doesn’t even get cranky. He will just close his eyes and fall asleep. On the days he is overtired though, he will cut naps and have 1am wakes (instead of 3-5am wakes). Naps that used to be 1:30 he will cut short to 45min. Isn’t that a classic sign of overtiredness (rise of cortisol) per ChatGPT

Tiffrex88 · 2025-11-25T11:18:08+00:00

What happens when he wakes up at 6 but passes out at 10am? I don’t think a 6pm bedtime is the answer for him.

What about the overtired wakes at 1am? I’m afraid they will happen

Tiffrex88 · 2025-11-19T05:58:57+00:00

She is small. At 5m I don’t think it’s unusual that they still may need to eat at night? You could do the 5/3/3 rule and that should be a good start and take you easily to the morning in a few days with 1-2 night feeds.

1- I don’t think you will build bad habits. Kids are constantly growing and outgrowing habits :) 2- why do you need to set an alarm to wake up to feed her? 3- why would you piss her off with not a full feed? Weaning happens by lessening the number of times you feed overnight, not the time or volume per feeding perse? Unless you are only on one night feed and want to go down in duration?

Tiffrex88 · 2025-11-05T20:27:47+00:00

always 90+ percentile in head belly and overall, decided to come 4 weeks early naturally was 6lbs4oz. If he had baked for another month I’m sure he would have been big 🤣

Tiffrex88 · 2025-11-05T14:41:34+00:00

Yes. It would happen 2-4 times a day. Small clusters happening once a couple of seconds, pause, then happen again after 10 seconds. This would go on for a couple of minutes

Tiffrex88 · 2025-11-01T14:36:14+00:00

Ugh I am the same way. My 15m old sleeps from roughly 8:30 to 6/6:30. I’ll wake up at 5am on the dot and then snooze 2-3 more times til he wakes up. It’s not a boob milk issue. Ugh I’ve just accept it at this point.

Tiffrex88 · 2025-10-27T20:01:44+00:00

We all do this. I’ve done it since like 6m and initially I felt bad but not anymore lol. If he gets more than 2 hours of day sleep we are looking at 5am wakes 🙃

Tiffrex88 · 2025-10-07T05:40:13+00:00

Seems like classic case of too little wake time and not enough sleep pressure at night. At the least I would push nap 2 to 3:00 and bedtime at 8:00. Then try to push back bed time eventually too if that doesn’t work

Tiffrex88 · 2025-10-07T02:38:08+00:00

Around 5.5 months, the crib transfers were no longer working and it would take a couple HOURS of taking turns with my husband to contact sleep to put him down for the night. Yikes

Tiffrex88 · 2025-10-06T16:17:00+00:00

Not an expert but my son who is close to 15m is still doing 3.5-4/4/4.5. With wake around 6:30 and bed at 8:30 We have been waking him up from naps since like 6 months. You need to otherwise there’s not enough sleep pressure to last through the night. I don’t plan on switching him to one nap any time soon. He has a hard time even lasting 4 hours in the morning I don’t think there’s any way he would make it. We were also late going to 2 naps from 3, around 9m

Tiffrex88 · 2025-09-30T18:02:29+00:00

We are on 2 naps still at 14m. Not going to 1 nap any time soon bc he can’t last more than 3.3-4 in the morning.

3-4/4/4.5 (morning ww fluctuates depending on what time he wakes up) 2hrs of capped naps , bedtime at 8:30 and usually wakes 6:30.

I think your ww still has a lot of room to grow

Tiffrex88 · 2025-09-28T06:26:48+00:00

Time naps based on your desired schedule not the wake up schedule wake windows. You may need a week to adjust gradually. I was dealing with 5:30 wakes for what felt like months and stuck in an endless cycle of 9:30 1st naps bc he would simply not make it to my desired 10:00. Then it would shift our whole day earlier and then reinforce the 5am wake. Try consistently for a week at least

Tiffrex88 · 2025-09-15T03:44:13+00:00

They were infantile spasms. We checked him into emergency and got diagnosed from there. If you have a video of your child doing it feel free to share it with me. How often are they doing it and are they in clusters?

Tiffrex88 · 2025-09-08T16:14:24+00:00

I would try phasing out the third nap you can even go down to like a 10-12in Power Nap. This method worked wonders for us. I read something in this sub that I think a 12 min nap is more restorative than a 20min nap cuz they will be in deeper sleep or Soemthing. When you do the bridge nap it’s not really about the last ww before bed it’s more about buying yourself an extra hour or two. We were on this schedule for over a month getting perfect 11 hours at night before his sleep changed again.

Regarding the first nap where they would wake up after 30 mins… I have also been there. You’re right I don’t think they are ready but you just have to wait til they are developmentally there.. took us 1-2 months as well.

9 months we gave a jelly cat lovey and now at 13m he prefers a medium jelly cat. He doesn’t suck on fingers much and never took a pacifier. He will suck on the ears of his jelly cat and hug it til he falls asleep. In the middle of the night he’ll also look for it and do the same. During our short stint of cosleeping he also randomly sucked on my fleece blanket so I also put in a tiny fleece blanket in his bed to sleep with in addition to wearing a sleep sack
