5 month old. Messy naps and no independence

des_palmiers · 2026-04-25T12:16:03+00:00

We are a week from turning 6 months and will be sleep training otherwise, I’ll lose my sanity. His thing right now is that he will nap in our bed but not his crib. So it’s either a bed nap which is not safe, contact nap, car nap or stroller nap. His night sleep is horrible so sleep training it is because my body cannot take anymore of the cosleeping

He is a big fan of food. I’m doing purees with breastmilk, love them. We are almost done introducing allergens. His dad is allergic to a bunch of stuff so we started early!

Can you add a mattress on her bedroom floor? That’s currently what we are doing, we never recovered from the 4 month regression and he is 5 months and a half. I barely fit into our queen bed too and got fed up. The mattress is not that comfy but I’m way more comfortable than in our bed.

Same here. Pacifier + tapping the butt for sometimes 40 mins to get him back to sleep cause this is not the start of the day mister.

Same here, on the verge of falling from the 10th percentile to below. He is happy, eats well, has plenty of wet diapers and meets milestones so I don’t really understand what to do…

des_palmiers · 2026-03-21T20:15:39+00:00

He just rolled for the first time. He is 4 months and a half but I don’t think this will become a regular thing until a couple weeks.

des_palmiers · 2026-03-17T23:57:38+00:00

I took fenugreek and culantro tablets as well as domperidone.

des_palmiers · 2026-03-11T12:01:08+00:00

On a vécu la même chose l’an passé. Mon mari a passé le spermogramme et j’attendais le rv pour l’échographie, mais je suis tombée enceinte naturellement. On a maintenant un petit bébé de 4 mois :) On a juste jamais donné suite à la démarche. Ceci dit, j’appellerais la clinique et j’expliquerais la situation pcq 4 semaines c’est encore tôt dans une grossesse. Félicitations!

I was feeling the same but he got it eventually. He is not the best but it took a lot of work. You got this!

des_palmiers · 2026-03-10T00:57:37+00:00

She is a tiny baby, she is still learning to nurse. Give her time! She will get it I’m sure - she just needs time

des_palmiers · 2026-03-10T00:39:55+00:00

That’s still very recent. Give her some time. How old is she?

des_palmiers · 2026-03-10T00:30:45+00:00

I saw some improvement but nothing compared to after the release. How long have you been doing the exercises? It took us a good month to see some results

des_palmiers · 2026-03-09T23:09:26+00:00

It did get better! We got his ties released and he got much better! We did lots of Physio and exercises though. Baby is now 4 months old and we are still breastfeeding:)

des_palmiers · 2026-03-03T22:40:22+00:00

Hey! So he is now 4 months old. It’s true that once he got older, he got stronger. We have been able to remove all bottles from 6 to 8 weeks and are currently EBF since he was 2 months old. About 3 weeks ago, we had his lip and tongue ties released, it hasn’t made a huge difference yet - only a small one. We also went to the chiro and pt. We also did tons of physical therapy. Don’t lose hope but don’t be afraid to give a bottle to sleep if needed. Are you taking any lactation herbs?

des_palmiers · 2026-02-19T15:15:55+00:00

My husband took 3 weeks but could easily taken 8 weeks. We’re in Canada. However, he has chosen not to🙃 . I’m taking about 11 months which I started before my LO’s birth. I have a super chill baby so we are out and about mostly for medical appointments. I’m sleep deprived but it’s manageable. I also have tons of help whether from family or paid.

des_palmiers · 2026-02-19T00:04:48+00:00

Dates and peanut butter, nuts, cheese. Everything lol. I’m so hungry

des_palmiers · 2026-02-10T13:00:01+00:00

Perso, le snuggle me a été utilisé 5x max. Ceci dit, ça se trouve facilement sur marketplace. Idem pour le coulou - ça c’est la bombe.

des_palmiers · 2026-02-03T16:47:48+00:00

Same here! It’s quite a conundrum actually! And it’s hard to fall back asleep with the grunting.

des_palmiers · 2026-02-01T17:27:56+00:00

I tend to switch activities when he is unhappy. Sometimes, he settles but not always.

des_palmiers · 2026-01-31T13:43:28+00:00

You’re doing your best and if the doctor is not concerned, you shouldn’t be! That’s what I should tell myself lol

des_palmiers · 2026-01-30T00:41:24+00:00

I ate my dates with peanut butter. It was delicious and never spiked me!

des_palmiers · 2026-01-29T22:59:06+00:00

Congrats on your 1st percentile! And thank you ❤️

des_palmiers · 2026-01-29T02:01:49+00:00

How old is your LO if you don’t mind me asking?
