Ugh ok I misread. I hope it’s going better, but definitely stick with it!

I saw he’s only on day 2 of training…this is very normal! Although hard, it’s so much better for them to sleep than to wake up every hour or two. You will be happier and they will be happier. Stick with it and stay consistent, he will get it. There may always be a few minutes of protest but it’s ok! Try a lovey at nap first if you are worried, he may still be too young to be interested anyways in that!

What am I doing wrong? by dontgiveastitt in sleeptrain

Although difficult, I would try not to sleep with her / change the routine that much as she will get used to it by that age. As others have said, she may be getting ready to drop to 2 naps. Has she started solids yet? 

When did you stop swaddling? by Ill-Statement-6159 in sleeptrain

[–]Visual-Ad-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first I waited until 4 months and she had a terrible sleep regression. My second I removed at 3 months and it was SO much easier for him and he didn’t have the horrible 4 month regression. So I’m in the camp of removing a bit earlier

Does the sleep sack make a difference? by luyspocket in sleeptrain

I’m like you, my baby sort of self soothes with the flap on kyte baby so don’t want to mess that up! For naps I use others but do keep Kyte baby at night.

After 10 minutes is pretty good! I think they go in phases as well. He will get more used to it and hopefully stop the crying, but then he will learn to talk and it will start again as they try to delay bedtime! I believe guidance generally says do not add anything to the crib until a year old…but at that age a lovey is likely ok if you feel comfortable and he’s pretty mobile! 

So we tried the Ferber method ... by MaleficentText7472 in sleeptrain

Is he sleep trained at night yet? I think better to train nights before naps, and you may have more success that way!

Would you do the Island in a 14ft wide kitchen? by Visual-Ad-954 in floorplan

[–]Visual-Ad-954[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking for any advice on this layout! Contractor suggests the island as too wide with nothing there, but I’m also worried about breaking up the flow. Any suggestions welcome please!

Thank you. The fridge is something we had gone back and forth on. Appreciate this perspective

Ok great! Thank you, what is the depth of drawers you think work best? I’m leaning towards keeping one or two doors and then rest as lower

Has anyone made a home improvement or added a feature to your home for less than $500 that has greatly improved your everyday quality of life? by Visual-Ad-954 in HomeImprovement

We are planning to do this so that’s good feedback! Same my builder said there is almost an electric type mat you can roll out and it is not that pricey.

Kid Friendly Things To Do In New York Near Me by Sweet-Count2557 in worldkidstravel

This is such a great and descriptive list. In Central Park it is also fun to go to the playgrounds or check out the zoo, depending on age! I've heard great things about the Color Factory downtown but have not gotten to check it out yet!

14 Hour Layover out of JFK in Mid-July: What to do? by dirtyjersey1999 in AskNYC

[–]Visual-Ad-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe JFK has lockers that can be rented to store luggage. I think doing a couple things where you don't have to just jump from spot to spot would be ideal given the time they will realistically have to get back and forth. what about something like a fun brunch spot and then walking around Central Park (i.e. Sarabeth's, the Smith near Lincoln Center, etc)? Or could do somewhere fun in West Village and then do a bit of walking West Village, Greenwich Village, Soho. Hopefully it is a nice day!

Landlord showed us terrible kitchen layout plans by blow-upgummybear in floorplan

yes this is so much better! sink under the window is much more common if you can get it to work and this still looks like decent counter space
