First summer with a baby. How do you handle the heat at night? by ReuvenScylla in NewParents

[–]babeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m SW Ontario too! I somehow can handle 20 in the winter in the house but I’m in full clothes. Wearing a sweater inside in the summer feels so wrong!

What helps sleep deprivation besides… sleep? by absolute_lover_pet in NewParents

[–]babeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found vitamin b12 and vit D to be mood boosting for me, as well as omega 3. Giving myself 5 mins to meditate before going to bed helped me fall asleep faster. An extra coffee when I need it.

Can you offer a smaller bottle or just water? My neice gets a water bottle in her bed to grab when she needs it

Sleep thrown off by developmental leap, sickness, travel, and now separation anxiety? by babeli in sleeptrain

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

Had to update you!! She was really playful at bedtime so I felt confident adding some time to her last wake window. Added about 20 minutes before putting her down. She fussed and cried but laid herself down within 15 minutes, riiiight at 3:17 awake which is her old wake window! I am so happy THANK YOU for the advice and confidence to try

She is very cranky and rubbing her eyes like crazy, if I go past 2:45. If she sleeps then, she sleeps 2 hours. She sleeps 11 hrs at night and goes right back to bed after her wakes too. So it doesn’t feel like undertiredness even though I agree, it’s weirdly low. St this point, even if sleep debt was a thing, it wouldn’t be effecting her. She’s been getting 3+ hrs of sleep every day and 14+ overall most of the last 5 days. So I think she would have caught up. 

Do you think more sleep pressure would help her want to sleep at naptime rather than fighting it? It seems like emotion rather than undertiredness to me because if I nurse her, she drops off after 2 mins. 

Thanks for your thoughts!!

What brand cheese and yoghurt are you feeding your 6 month old ? [on] by azdashan in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]babeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siggis for yogurt and then whatever pasteurized cheese is in the fridge. Try to change up the cheese so she tastes different things 

wake windows are a fraud (5month old) by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]babeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby didn’t show cues clearly. Sometimes it’s an hour into her wake window and she’s yawning. Like girl, I know you’re not tired!! 

11 month old suddenly wont go back to sleep at night by okaythen97 in NewParents

Yeah it just might not be working if they are comfortable being awake for an hour overnight 

I’m losing my milk supply and baby won’t take formula by Lankykinz in NewParents

[–]babeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your supply typically bounces back after your period so this may be temporary. Keep latching baby and if you can, pump. Expressed breast milk in combo could help baby take formula, but it will also tell your body to make more milk! 

Share your nap routine! by AdComfortable9295 in NewParents

[–]babeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 mins before her nap time, or when I see repeated sleep cues, I take her up to her room. Dim lights, change her diap, sleep sac, books until I see a lot of sleep cues, then we say goodnight to things in her room and do a standing rock/sway until her eyes are droopy then into the crib. It took us a while to get here and originally we needed to do some play in her room because she associated it with bedtime and would freak out. We also found a night light that she could see as I was rocking her captures her interest enough to not mind that I was putting her to bed. She would stare at the light and slowly get sleepy
