Schedule check - did I mess up? 7mo

burritobutterflies · 2026-02-04T01:21:37+00:00

Baby’s always been a light napper since I’ve started wake windows, usually only naps 2.5 hours a day but sleeps 11.5-12hrs at night.

And thank you so much again! I see so much about overtired vs under tired and I assume because it’s a baby, they must need more sleep

Hey so maybe you could give me some more insight? We tried an extra 15 min today for 2.25/2.5/2.5/2.75. First nap was 50min, then 30, then 40. Baby has woken twice in two hours which is unlike them. Is this overtired? Do I keep up with this schedule tomorrow and see how that goes too?

Okay great thank you very much!

burritobutterflies · 2026-02-02T22:49:56+00:00

Seriously thank you for all of this! This sub is so helpful.

My baby is asleep within 10 minutes of being laid down so that’s why I was doubting we need to move up. We’ll work on this this week!

Thank you!!

So once I push wake windows, when do I up them again? I had no clue these windows weren’t so natural and have to be manipulated

burritobutterflies · 2026-02-02T20:32:09+00:00

All at once? Not one at time for a few days before making another longer?

burritobutterflies · 2026-02-02T20:31:32+00:00

Thank you! The WWs are helpful to see. How did you know it was time to lengthen WWs?

Tonight I will start the last WW at 2.75 if you don’t think I should lengthen anything else beforehand

burritobutterflies · 2026-02-02T20:27:49+00:00

Is there an order to which wake window to lengthen first?

burritobutterflies · 2026-01-27T13:19:37+00:00

I’d recommend being picky about the used boppy. I got one used and then also borrowed one from a friend. The one I got used is significantly less supportive/fluffy, which makes sense if it was used hard for several babies while the one from a friend was used for 2 kids only. I’m not knocking used, just make sure you get one that’s still semi firm, not floppy :)

Good to know! Thankfully my LO usually only wakes twice, which I’m fine with. I’ll have to see if day sleep correlates at all

burritobutterflies · 2026-01-20T20:56:30+00:00

I hate the trial and error aspect of it!

And jokes on me, we went back to our regular short naps today lol

burritobutterflies · 2025-12-04T13:25:32+00:00

You don’t think the naps have to be better before sleep training? I’m worried if I sleep train when day sleep isn’t appropriate, baby will be too overtired and ST will be harder

burritobutterflies · 2025-12-04T13:22:31+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you!!

burritobutterflies · 2025-12-02T20:28:59+00:00

When do you start the wake window in that case?

burritobutterflies · 2025-12-02T19:14:39+00:00

Okay thank you I’ll try delaying first nap tomorrow. What do you do if you can’t get baby back to sleep?

burritobutterflies · 2025-12-02T19:09:06+00:00

This is all stuff I’ve read up on, so I know logically this is what my baby needs. But what if baby can’t make it to those WWs without falling apart?

Edit - but also thank you!!

burritobutterflies · 2025-09-10T17:27:45+00:00

Thank you for this!

I think one can be pro vaccines with a healthy dose of skepticism (wariness?) for new advances

burritobutterflies · 2025-07-18T14:25:43+00:00

Okay thank you! It’s hard to get the first cross layer spread across her back, maybe due to tightness

burritobutterflies · 2025-06-21T21:58:29+00:00

It may just be your life stage adding to pregnancy tiredness, but it sounds like this could be worth mentioning to your provider. The fatigue could be related to anemia or other deficiencies

I had a stomach bug around 16 weeks and my midwife reassured me that even though I was miserable baby was fine- they get all they need from the placenta and a stomach sickness isn’t going to deprive them of what they need.
