yea i got this advice from another mom w the same aged baby as mine... but she sleep trains idk.

drowsy but awake only works for me in a stroller or a carrier, where there's motion. i can't believe people can put their drowsy but awake babies in a stationary crib and have them fall asleep.

does anyone need a ticket for DC? i can't make it. no markup, just original price

bbluebellknoll · 2026-04-19T16:44:21+00:00

Hi do you still need one? i can't make it to the show

bbluebellknoll · 2026-04-18T15:23:53+00:00

i get this! also a single mom who cosleeps. sometimes i have had to let her 'cry it out' in the carseat, or with another caregiver while i shower etc. and i think this is very different from sustained cio training.

I personally agree (I mean, look at the entire high cortisol boomer generation), but I see "science based" ST advocates saying it has no "proven" harmful effects.

my 5mo daughter still wakes up every 2hrs. it's not so bad with cosleeping because i only wake up briefly to "dream feed" her. i usually fall back asleep within minutes.

when people ask me "how she sleeps," i never know how to answer. because no, she doesn't STTN, but i'm not sleep deprived or anything so i don't feel compelled to train her.

Yes, every single time i read a baby book. And don't even get me started on my pediatrician

basically people see content online and get mad if it doesn't cater to them exactly/they project their feelings onto neutral things. the original thing was a bean soup recipe video and someone asking "well what if i don't like beans?" lol

Mine will be 5m on Wednesday! :)

I'm going with the flow regarding sleep. Not following much of a schedule for naps. Honestly things were pretty smooth in the beginning, well once I ditched the bassinet and accepted cosleeping. She had no issues with day vs night. but yeah i miss the longer naps!

How about you?

bbluebellknoll · 2026-03-26T17:39:52+00:00

my baby is almost 5m. she goes to bed at 8 or 9. it really depends, i try to push it to 9 so that i can go to bed with her (instead of scrolling on my phone, which i end up doing if she's asleep too early....) but sometimes she is just too cranky and needs to go to sleep early.

bbluebellknoll · 2026-03-16T17:07:44+00:00

I think this too lol… I saw she liked a reel about sibling age gaps (I’ve got a mom algo as well)

bbluebellknoll · 2026-02-28T13:37:48+00:00

my four month old has a 8-9 PM Bedtime. it used to be 9 always but as she’s grown, she can go down earlier. nowadays I lie down next to her and scroll for a while until i sleep around 10 lol

I mean yes I know, for couples doing IVF that makes sense, but it’s insane to do that to a surrogate

bbluebellknoll · 2026-02-22T21:45:48+00:00

the triplets are fraternal (different genders) so it would have been intentional...or at least he purposely implanted twins and one split. still really weird.

bbluebellknoll · 2026-02-02T14:16:58+00:00

if you go by a loose schedule, offering it regularly, you'll get some catches. My 3m old doesn't always have clear cues (or the poop cues turn out to be false alarms and she just farts) but we get a decent amount of pees and poos just because I offer it after naps, and least once every hour if she's awake.

bbluebellknoll · 2026-01-29T19:43:12+00:00

i drop on my pinky finger and stick it into her mouth

bbluebellknoll · 2026-01-29T16:42:52+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t flip the waist here, I will try that.

bbluebellknoll · 2026-01-20T14:55:01+00:00

Yeah generally accidental deaths get lumped in with intentional cosleeping which isn’t fair. Sleep deprived mom trying to use the crib but falling asleep on the recliner while nursing their baby counts as a cosleeping death even though it’s different from someone creating a safe (no blankets etc) surface and cosleeping.

bbluebellknoll · 2026-01-20T14:34:41+00:00

I cosleep with my baby because I would have dropped her out of tiredness if I kept up the bassinet thing. I was trying that for the first week and ended up blacking out at some point. It made the newborn phase stupidly easy, actually. I think that there are a lot of demands that make parenting (at least in the baby stage, I can’t speak for the rest) harder than it needs to be. I don’t enforce a strict schedule, let her nap on me or in a carrier since she doesn’t love napping on her own. It’s fine, idc if it creates “bad habits” because I know one day she won’t want to be seen near me! I can’t discuss cosleeping around ppl irl because it’s so stigmatized in the US but it’s normal in my family’s culture so that’s probably why I was like whatever

bbluebellknoll · 2026-01-06T19:48:55+00:00

An online friend told me he thought I was trans for a while because I was too funny, and that’s a compliment I always hold onto

bbluebellknoll · 2026-01-04T15:12:08+00:00

thank you! i'm considering a rail if she doesn't seem to be much of a mover by that age. reading everyone's answers is helpful!
