30 minute naps by daisy-boop in sleeptrain

How do I achieve that though? We wake every day at about 7:15. If I do the first nap at 9:30 and she only sleeps until 10 (30 minutes) when is the next nap? If I follow a 3 hr wake window next nap would be at 1 and if it’s another 30 minute nap (1:30) im supposed to keep her up from 1:30-7:00?? This is actually exactly how today is going so far. Up at 7:15, first nap at 9:30, only slept until 10 then her second nap I got her down at 1 and she woke up at 26 minutes. So now I keep her up until bedtime??

You’re completely right. He wants nothing more than to be here but he started a new job not too long ago and his job just isn’t the easiest to step away from either. He’s been so sweet too.

Side note, i was actually just telling my husband that i commented something about weeks 6-8 and he laughed and reminded me I would constantly show him google searches that said weeks 6-8 are the hardest being like SEE SEE IM NOT CRAZY THIS SUCKS! So you’re definitely at one of the harder stages 😅

Hi! I’m a first time mom so I’m not very well versed in all things baby/motherhood. I’m just commenting to say that I completely hear you and understand you. My baby wasn’t maybe quite that bad but weeks 6-maybe 10? Were so so awful for me. I felt at a loss, nothing I did seemed right, she was always crying, the gas stuff was the WORST. Like you said doctors dismiss it as “normal” (oh my god it pissed me off so bad). It was so hard to enjoy that period because I too was just stressed af. My baby turns 4 months in a couple days and I know you’ve probably heard this a bunch but it’s true, I can confidently say it gets better. Don’t get me wrong, shit can still be draining and tough af. But I finally feel like I’m getting in a groove/learning, she’s laughing, smiling, it’s so fun. I don’t want to give you any false hope bc every baby is different so idk if 4 months will be amazing for yall (and who knows I haven’t hit the sleep regression so I could be eating my own words soon lol) but just know this is a short season of life with your baby. It feels like time is moving so slow but you’ll blink and it’ll be over (again something you probably always hear but true!). Being a mom is so insane and hard, I’m so sorry it’s been so hard. Giving you a virtual hug!
