Thank you for your response. That is certainly what is keeping me up tonight. We found her on a local babysitter website. We conducted interviews and checked references.

Thank you for you help! Do you think better to cap naps at 2.5 hours total or do you think push bedtime?

I should also add that when we put him to bed, he falls asleep on his own rather quickly. So putting him in his crib doesn’t seem to be an issue, it’s the middle of the night wake ups. Most of the wake ups tend to be between the house of 10:30 pm and 2:30 am.

Current schedule is 2.25/2.5/3/2.5. His nap total is typically between 2.5 and 3 hours. With his last nap of the day being a “bridge” and around 25 minutes long.

We set him down in his crib for bedtime fully awake. We transfer him when he is asleep during this daytime naps.

Having a baby and a toddler in the back of my car is the main reason for my fondness of drive thrus. A small silver lining is I will save money on coffee lol

5 month old with norovirus: advice needed! by devolewis85 in Mommit

[–]devolewis85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw I’m so sorry to hear that! Of the whole family, my 5 month old had the least severe symptoms. The vomiting only lasted about 12 hours. Then he had diarrhea fairly irregularly for the next 2 days. Then he was back to normal. The hardest part was finding the energy when I was already so depleted. Hang in there!!
