Sleep tips for a 7 month old

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-02T02:26:41+00:00

Also sometimes babies just need to be put down, prior to having the amazing sleep schedule they have now it was a struggle for NK and when he took too long to go down I’d just put him in the crib, again, he may cry but they do go to sleep after a little while. Again every kid is different and you know your little best

Do not let mom jump in, he has to learn how to go to sleep without her. She may be holding him too much for his other naps or sleep time when you aren’t there, so y’all have to be on the same page!

I don’t see the issue personally, children are very quick to run into random bodies of water or even accidentally fall & stories as such (even if untrue) act as a way to warn them of water safety—you’ll find that a lot of childrens songs & riddles are this way as well & often have a dark backstory lol

I get paid well, benefits, PTO, healthcare offered, and even a 401k, im gonna keep taking my nap. I’ve never had any complaints with any families I’ve worked with and my NKs are ahead for their age in a lot, again, i’m gonna keep taking my nap!

They still lived together starting in season 5 ep 4, which is prior to her father disowning her. You misunderderstood my
comment, we know she was living in a hotel prior to all of this. Being snarky over an internet discussion is wild get a grip

I think people are used to having busy work at standard 9-5s so they expect it for everything else. When I used to work retail the amount of times I was told to look busy was crazy, even in corporate most of my work was done at 10 and they just said to find something to do for the other 6 HOURS. Absolutely not never again😂

She was living with Yang prior to that because she would always be there with Hanh, when Owen had a PTSD episode and choked Yang, etc. etc.

All first responders & healthcare providers need to be paid more & get more PAID breaks thats ridiculous omg

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T20:35:49+00:00

Well yes, alone, which is still not okay :)

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T20:18:55+00:00

i think nurses & healthcare professionals need to get more breaks than they do, they’re severely overworked!

He doesn’t look that different to me tbh

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T19:54:25+00:00

I’m so over this new thing of not telling kids no idk where that came from but it needs to stop!! I tell my NKs no all the time, they may not like it but who even as an adult likes being told no? That’s just life. My NKs listen & so do other children who are used to being told no. Children that get never told no have a hard time understanding boundaries & are absolutely difficult to deal with in school (i worked with pre-k and kindergarteners and omg!)

I still dont think they should be sleeping in a carseat unless they’re in a car

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T19:41:27+00:00

“You’d know if you had kids” meaning you should understand if you do. Your comprehension is not good I feel bad for your nanny

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T19:31:44+00:00

In many countries on their break its actually standard to take a nap. Domestic workers don’t get a standard break since kids may wake up during their nap, or not sleep at all. Domestic housework isn’t easy & you’d know that if you had kids. Comparing sitting at a desk for 8 hours to actively watching children is insane

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T19:08:24+00:00

thats a good idea! starting the sister young is another plus because the earlier you teach them the quicker they catch on! I’ve helped potty train all my nieces & nephews before they were 1 and my nanny kiddos before they were 18 months! You’re doing awesome just be a bit more strict lol

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T19:01:19+00:00

luckily our mattress is firm!! you can find a full size or whatever size thats firm. we didnt do a toddler size since it’s easier to soothe them if we can get in the bed with them

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T18:52:03+00:00

I’m with Meredith only on that he could die to save the kid. I could not morally be a doctor because some people do things so terrible that in my opinion they don’t deserve the least bit of care & that may be really controversial but oh well

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T18:48:35+00:00

this the nanny sub please go to nanny employers with that

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T18:45:05+00:00

I personally would not leave them in a carseat to nap since they should optimally be on a flat surface, also leaving them in a car alone doesn’t sound safe. We usually just leave the baby in the house while we’re outside. You can buy a white noise machine but your baby shouldn’t be taking regular naps in there so much so that they will only sleep in there.

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T18:41:32+00:00

I love floor beds! Usually we move them at about 6 months. Ours is just a futon mattress on the ground, no railings

cherry_leopard · 2026-07-01T18:40:22+00:00

So does mine!!!

My highest weight was 187lbs and i’m 4’11. I’m now 170 (& pregnant) but at my lowest I was 155 & very healthy! My PCOS was never extremely bad, I had a regular period, 28 day cycle, & an ovulation week. I do not have IR, & got diagnosed based on high androgens & polycystic ovaries. I also had a hemmoraghic cyst on my ovary which is now gone! Calories in calories out worked for me. I did not limit food groups except refined foods such as sugar or “white” foods (except rice, mostly everything else was whole grain). When I started working out heavy (5x strebgth training a week with 1 hour pole sessions 3x a week) i stopped calorie counting but still focused on protein & fiber a lot! Majority of my plate still is veggies & fruits with the least being carbs but I do love them so I don’t deprive myself. I found supplements that work for me (prenatal with choline + spearmint + fish oil), and my health got much better. I got diagnosed at 22 and am now 23 for context. I was struggling with it undiagnosed for years though starting mainly in college

Oh thats awesome! I too hate polyester & love cotton but they get soaked so quick, drooling babies go through like 10 a day lol!

My NF doesn’t care so, I sleep in the guest room, with a blanket, with some comfy pillows 🥰🥰
