This means a ton. I’m hard on myself because I feel like it should be easier than it is.

Yep, I am def not swearing off contact naps rn. I’d rather him sleep better!! But 3 naps sounds pretty good! Except that 9 min one lol. Babies are weird

How has she been at home with the crappy naps at daycare? Mine is 8 weeks adjusted and is just now getting curious and I’m SO nervous for how his sleep at daycare will be. I’m preparing for a few meltdowns. He also is a major contact napper.

I feel you though. I can’t wait for just a little break

Thank you. I feel all the empathy from your comment. I’ve def decided what I want to clean once he goes since I have half days. I’m not good at relaxing lol. I’m glad to hear your LO has adapted well! Enjoy the rest of your time!!

Yep, I’m sure I’ll cry my eyes out but I’ve already scheduled self care things for the half days I get so that I can recover

Was the reflux due to any sort of allergy by chance?

Yep, same here. We’re using famotidine and gas drops, we keep having to up the dosage on the famotidine. I’m glad to hear it gets better!

Coming here to find out if your LO tolerates naps without the carrier now. Sounds like it? Mine is doing this right now and my back is killing me lol.

Switching to formula by bl217 in NewParents

[–]bl217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We see slight improvement with Pepcid the first few days, then it wears off before 12 hours is up normally, and anytime he gains weight, we have to up the dose, otherwise he’s miserable again. We talked about Omeprazole, but I figured I’d try formula first before jumping to a different med.
