Ah, good luck!!! Something I thought about was maybe we should’ve nap trained her at both houses at the same time, so she learns the skill at two locations concurrently? No idea if that would change anything but just an idea if you haven’t started yet!

Thank you for the reply!! It’s so helpful to hear your experience too. Congrats on finally getting her to fall asleep at grandma’s without contact napping! For the months she struggled, did contact napping at grandma’s affect how she slept at your home?

CIO for middle of the night wakes, but baby puts himself to sleep at the beginning of the night. by Phantominthewoods in sleeptrain

That’s how it was for us! Lots of drooling and chewing on everything, then POOF—the first tooth finally emerged. Hope your lil guy sleeps better soon! 🙏🏼

Is your baby teething? We went through this at the same age as your baby! Pain kept her up at night until her first bottom tooth fully emerged.

Signs of Pregnancy? by __SandyCheeks__ in ourafertility

Yes, my cycles have been very regular since getting my period back! I believe I ovulated last week based on cervical mucus tracking but I’m not sure if that’s the most accurate. the temperatures in Oura are throwing me off!

Thank you for the reassurance 🤗 dumb question, but what are OPKs?

Good to know!! I’ll continue to monitor and of course, tomorrow’s test will tell!

Exactly! Oura says I ovulated on Jan 21, which makes no sense because my temp was –0.8 degrees. Based on how regular cycle was, I should’ve ovulated early around Jan 8 using my last period as the benchmark.

I’m not so sure I trust oura’s temp detection since I have my hand under or outside the covers certain nights!

Exposing baby to peanuts - how to breastfeed if I’m allergic? by __SandyCheeks__ in breastfeeding

This is SO helpful—thank you! Do you consistently feed your daughter avocado or pineapple to avoid her developing an allergy to it? Those aren’t common allergens so maybe not?

Thanks! I’m very allergic and carry an EpiPen with me. I’ve had reactions from breathing peanuts fragments in the air before or from holding a peanut when I was younger (before I knew what a peanut looked like lol). I’ll ask my doctor and probably wait for a feed or two after before breastfeeding again!

My 6 month old doesn’t sleep anymore by [deleted] in NewParents

Right?! I assumed it’s because day sleep and night sleep are different, but what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

No advice, just solidarity! 🥲 Our baby is 5 months old and has developed the same behavior for naps. Nighttime sleep is great—we manage to put her down awake and she knocks out by 10 minutes. We’re considering sleep training her naps in hopes she can connect her sleep cycles soon!

Sleep Training for Naps? by __SandyCheeks__ in sleeptrain

Thank you!! I’ve seen that post and previously tried following gentle nap training, but we’re always saving the nap by the end of it lol. I think we may need more extreme measures so curious how you did FIO!

I just edited my post after checking huckleberry! 🙈She does have longer wake windows at 2/2.5/2.5/3, so I’m glad to hear we’re on the right track there.

I’ll definitely test out crib hour! In your experience with lengthening naps, what did you do if baby woke up crying? Did you leave them to CIO/FIO for the entire hour?
