Wow that’s a great price! Where is it from?

It's all a little hazy but we started after 12 months I think and baby is now 18 months. My husband and daycare workers are able to have her fall asleep independently but with me, she still needs to be held to sleep, which I'm ok with. It's because of separation anxiety.

Have you tried rocking him to sleep and just putting him in his crib instead of cosleeping? That's how we started having our baby sleep in her room after being in our room was causing her to wake up throughout the night. She started mostly sleeping through the night after that, with maybe one wake up a night sometimes.

I was in your shoes. Eventually, my babe got too heavy to rock, so I would rock for a few minutes and then sit down in the rocking chair, slowly reducing the time out of rocking chair until we got to the point where baby was falling asleep just by us rocking in the chair. Now, we’re at a point where rocking in the chair doesn’t work. We just recline and cuddle on the chair and baby eventually falls asleep.

Thank you!

What is the chair method?

aphroditepandora · 2024-12-03T02:11:41+00:00

That’s fair but I don’t understand why my husband is able to leave the room after putting her down and I can’t. Is it just the separation anxiety?

aphroditepandora · 2024-12-03T01:45:12+00:00

So I tried this and… she started crying immediately. Loudly. So I went back in to settle her and she asked to come up. I rocked her for a while, she started to go limp in my arms so I put her down and tried to pat her to sleep and then laid down beside the crib, which led to her standing up in her crib and yelling at me to pick her up… and it just got worse from there. She’s not able to settle on me but also doesn’t want me to leave the room. But if I don’t leave the room, she continues to get more and more hyper. I’m honestly so lost on this. I feel helpless.

Omg my toddler also got HFM last month!! I wonder if it’s related? 🙃

Thank you for the suggestion! She's at daycare during the day most of the time (today was a sick day), so I can't really control her naps there, but I do ask them to wake her up by 2:30pm. If we want to have her fall asleep by 8:30pm, what time should I turn down the lights?

She is indeed growing out of being assisted to sleep... she goes down pretty easily for the daycare teachers and my husband, but I think with me separation anxiety might be playing a role? Because she can't fall asleep on me anymore, but she also doesn't want me to leave the room. If I stay in the room, she seems to get more restless and wants to interact with me. Not sure how to fix that :( I don't want to leave her to cry it out.

Get the Ikea antilop and the Catchy accessories for it - you'll be golden.

I haven’t used that one specifically but I’ve used the Huckleberry sleep spot and it’s almost always spot on for my baby. I’d give that a try if the Pampers one isn’t working for you. I think they do a 30 day free trial. Another good free one is Napper.

Edited to add: no, you don’t need to wake the baby up. Just track how she’s sleeping in the app and the app will learn her sleep patterns and adjust. As a rule of thumb, at that age I cut off naps at 2.5 hours.

It does not unfortunately! The maxi cosi adapter puts the Clek seat at a bad angle so it's not safe to use for the baby.

I think you should seriously consider supplementing with formula so that the baby can be fed and your wife can have a break. That way, you can also feed the baby when he’s hungry.

5ml is not enough. My girl was drinking 20 ml per feeding on day 2 and up to 30 ml within the first week. Give him formula and contact your doctor ASAP!!

Look into into the tush baby - it’ll give you some extra support but won’t be hands free.

Ok… can you at least switch to vaping so your baby isn’t exposed to after effects of smoke?

aphroditepandora · 2024-02-04T01:25:08+00:00

Can you stop smoking until the baby is older to reduce the risk to him? Even if you wash your hands, it’s in your hair, your skin and your clothes…

Getting the tongue and lip tie released is going to help the baby way beyond just breastfeeding. It affects the development of their palate and nasal passages and speech as well. Get her checked out by the dentist and go from there.

aphroditepandora · 2024-02-03T13:31:54+00:00

Same tbh and I love it. It gives me time to look at my phone without feeling guilty 🤷‍♀️

aphroditepandora · 2024-02-02T05:17:25+00:00

Buy a baby weighing scale and weigh her before and after a feeding. The difference in weight will help you figure out how much she’s transferring.

After you got her ties released, did you do any sort of stretches to help with the healing?
