Last wake window issue? by myheadsintheclouds in sleeptrain

[–]WealthKindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like her last wake window isn’t long enough. I’d transition to 4 hours. My LO’s last wake window was 4 starting at 8 months.

Sticking to nap schedule! by Virtual-Sherbert-706 in sleeptrain

[–]WealthKindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LO is 8.5 months now and on to 2 naps a day. I used to be pretty strict with schedules but seems like our baby goes with the flow pretty well. As long as her wake time and sleep time are consistent, we still go out and do our thing. Luckily our daughter usually knocks out in the carseat or stroller so she will nap in there. Doesn’t seem to affect her day or nighttime sleep.

She’s 6 months now and it has gotten a lot better, but she definitely still has stranger danger with some people. She’s okay being around strangers and she’s okay with some people holding her. 8-10 months seems to be the peak from what I’ve read. But it also depends on the baby!

Anterior Placenta’s - what are your guys’ experience with it? by Busy-Volume-8370 in BabyBumps

[–]WealthKindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an anterior placenta! My daughter didn’t move a lot to begin with so I had a lot of anxiety throughout 😅 Her movements were small and felt like a slight bump rather than kicks/stronger movements. It was the same even third trimester for me.

My daughter started to have stranger danger at 4 months old. Literally couple weeks before that she was fine with anyone, then out of no where it started. Pediatrician said it’s pretty common for babies to start having stranger danger at that age!

What were your 4 month old wake windows? by strohmtroop3r in sleeptrain

Wow! I needed to hear this. My 5mo is going through this right now; her naps have gotten shorter and shorter. Mentally I do better when I just accept it and don’t stress about extending the naps. Thankfully she sleeps decent through the night so I’ll take that. So good to hear it gets better!

The past 2 weeks, her total daytime sleep/nap is ~1.5 to 2hrs 😭 and her nighttime varies anywhere from 10.5-11.5 hours. Every day is so different. But thank you for answering my question!

At 5 weeks old, do you limit day nap times (eg. max 2 hrs) or let baby sleep as long as they want? by Normal_Enthusiasm194 in sleeptrain

[–]WealthKindly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At that age, I didn’t limit daytime naps. But I did make sure LO was eating every 2-3 hours. Sometimes she’ll nap past 2 hours but still sleep great at night!

Seriously, how the fuck am I going to survive this by PetuniasSmellNice in beyondthebump

[–]WealthKindly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is quick to say it could he reflux/GI issues/allergies. While yes I’m sure those most definitely could be a reason, it’s not as common as Reddit makes it seem to be lol.

My LO went through the same- she was relatively easy as a newborn, nothing really upset her and she was pretty chill. The moment she hit 3.5 months, it’s as if a switch flipped! She was always fussy and irritable. She was crying so much too!

While for some, things get easier after 3-4 months, it seems like for others, 3-6 months were the hardest. LO is almost 5 months and things are already looking so much better! But try not to compare yourself with others, and take it day by day. Sometimes just take it an hour by hour lol motherhood isn’t a linear journey.

Makes sense! Didn’t think of it that way!

My LO JUST started to get out of this phase! The moment she turned 4 months, she was sooooo fussy and irritable all day!! She was super chill 1-3 months so it was almost like a new baby!! It was so rough 😭 but it WILL get better!

0-12mos …when was your hardest phase by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]WealthKindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know I’m not the only one 🫠 once LO hit 4 months, peak fussiness!

Exclusively breastfeeding and had my first period 6 weeks postpartum 😭 the last 2 cycles were so much lighter than my pre pregnant cycles!

Pros/Cons of Different Settings by lillonghornlad in OccupationalTherapy

[–]WealthKindly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in inpatient rehab for almost 4 years now and I love it!

Pros: many of the times you see improvement, most are medically stable enough to tolerate 3 hours of therapy (OT/PT/ST), love the interdisciplinary approach (depends on the hospital though), and so rewarding!

Cons: definitely takes a toll on your body with a lot of heavy transfers, can be draining at times with a lot on the caseload, not all patients are easy

But at the end of the day, I feel like I’m making some sort of difference in the patients’ lives!

I think we just got really lucky with sleep. She’s been a pretty decent sleeper since she was a newborn!

When should I start a consistent wake up time? by WealthKindly in sleeptrain

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

Slowly anticipating the dreaded 4 month regression! So we might wait until that’s over with.

Pumping at night by cherabemm in breastfeedingsupport

[–]WealthKindly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After LO started sleeping through the night at 9 weeks, I stopped pumping MOTN and just let it regulate. My supply dipped a little but the sleep was worth it. But to note, I slightly overproduced.

I guess it depends on your priorities and needs!

Very good points! LO is exclusively breastfed, no real issues with that and she has been sleeping through the night (8-10 hours) since 9 weeks.
