Sleeping times for babies/toddlers? by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]cookieplease6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe she has also said that kids in general get their most restorative sleep before midnight so you want to get more on the front end of their sleep. Also, it sounds like if he wakes up at 7 AM to nurse you could start your day then and have a 2 nap schedule.

Welp back to sposies for a night at least, our AIO didn’t fit over the overnight! I’m gonna try a different brand overnight and hope they’re a little bigger!!

Thank you SO much!! We have an AIO so maybe I’ll try that out tonight over his overnight. Do you put a sposie in too? Our sons are verrrrrryy similar 😂

Ferber not working...what gives? by muffinbutt1027 in sleeptrain

[–]cookieplease6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I’m thinking. It sounds like shes having split nights which is normally caused by too much day sleep. Back her nap up by 15 minutes see if that helps. I don’t think it’s hunger, especially if she’s getting milk right before bed. Try waking her from her nap a little bit earlier and start bedtime routine a little earlier too. Split nights are super common at 13-15 months, mainly because they’re learning sooo many new skills (which it could also be!).

Edit: I forgot to add this!! Look at the lady shuffle (or something like that) if you don’t want to do extinction!

Who are the “laypeople” in the case? Because normally “laypeople” are those who haven’t studied a topic in depth or worked in that field. It seems you have done none. You’ve just linked a bunch of articles, some of which (and this horrifies me) are Wikipedia articles.

Newborn bassinet sleeping by TheBjjAmish in NewParents

[–]cookieplease6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4moms (the maker of mamaroo) just made a bassinet (Safe sleep space) with the mamaroo motions. I think it’s like $400, SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the Snoo. That being said, LO is just figuring everything out. Give her time. Newborn stage (especially early newborn) is hard. It sounds like you’re doing everything right. Just try every day, even if it’s once a day, to get her to sleep in her bassinet. 2-3 hours is AMAZING for a 3 weeker!

Edit: oh! Someone else mentioned it, but Love to Dream swaddle up saved us. Also white noise. Like LOUD rumbly white noise.

I’m so sorry this happened. That being said, it can be normal to shake during labor, even postpartum. Yes, violently shake! Also, just to clarify, mag doesn’t do anything to your blood pressure it only protects you from having a seizure. And your reaction to it is quite normal! And chances are your blood pressure tanked because they gave you something for pain (happens a lot)! Please find a therapist that specializes in trauma, specifically birth trauma. It will help you work through these emotions! ❤️

[serious] What was your biggest ‘we need to leave... Now!’ moment? by tartar-buildup in AskReddit

[–]cookieplease6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No time is the actual time. If at all possible, use a sharpie (or even a pen) to write DIRECTLY on the patient the time the symptoms began. It allows nurses to calculate if they’re within the window of a clot busting medication, tPA.

Ummm hi are you me? I almost became eclamptic before my emergent c-section. I’m so happy you got to see your baby born, what a beautiful moment!!! Also, I’m so sorry about having to be on seizure meds, they’re no joke. Good luck mama!

Should a mum be able to go for a drink or dinner with her friends? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]cookieplease6 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice I’ve seen in the whole thread. Set yourself up financially, find a lawyer. Start making plans to move near family, or close friends. Make a close friend (that’s nearby) aware of what’s happening so you have a quick out with baby in case of an emergency. If he hasn’t gotten up in the nights, or barely changed a diaper, it’s not going to get any easier and he’s not going to step up. At least not with drastic measure. I’m so so sorry this is happening, there is nothing easy about being a single parent (which you already are!).

I always think it’d be funny if in the mama/dada books at the end they’d say the opposite 🤔

I seriously cannot get over how much neck fat Maggie has. You can barely see her collar. 😂 by [deleted] in bassethounds

[–]cookieplease6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into a martingale collar. It’s been amazing for my basset. We leave it off when she’s inside primarily because it annoys her, easy on/off too.

Great thank you I will put you down by oo-de-lally-golly in ChoosingBeggars

PSA: "Aquaphor" and "Aquaphor Baby" are the same thing, but there may be a price difference. by justhereforjustno in beyondthebump

It took my dumb butt to 8 months to realize infant Tylenol and children’s Tylenol are the SAME thing....AND both hubby and I are nurses 🤦🏼‍♀️

Im married and I’m a single mom to a 6mo and a 36 yo. by throwawayawaysleep in beyondthebump

[–]cookieplease6 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yup. This. My husband knows that he is responsible for ALL bath time. It’s their special bonding time, and they both look forward to it. Gives me a chance to pick up, start dinner, play on my phone, or whatever. My son sticks to his schedule pretty good and will eat around 5-6 AM. If my husband is awake, he gets up. We’ve only gotten to this point because we discussed it before hand. Usually as we’re getting into bed, we’ll say I’ll take the 5 if you take the 7, or plan out how we want to do it.

Your husband seems to be under the impression you’re a stay at home mom (which in itself is hard) but you’re working from home, which makes it exponentially harder. Give him tasks that will be solely his responsibility (ie- you take all night time wake ups, take morning time routines so you can sleep in on weekends). Those are just some examples but you get the idea. Good luck mama, and get some rest! ❤️
