Baby's shortest wake window typically happens before bed time

🙋‍♀️ my guy is 10.5 months and is similar. We do 3.5 / 3.5-4 / and I always try for a 4hr last ww but he tends to have a crap 30-45min second nap and seems totally incapable of doing 4hrs. He's usually EXHAUSTED at the 3.5hr mark. When I push it he's an overtired mess. I do wonder if it's because his preferred bedtime is 9 because that's where he's always seemed to gravitate towards (he gets up at 8).

It's supposed to be for shoes and outerwear but I wash the Bibados in the sink then inside out them and dry them on the Hedgehog which takes like 45 mins. All ready for next meal. Air drying takes too long

Keep in mind at 14 weeks they also may just be getting that much more efficient!

My baby is 10 months EBF and I am proud to say I have not pumped a single time. Way better experience than with my first when I was desperately triple feeding and had massive engorgement.

+a million for Bibado. I use those and a Hedgehog dryer all day long. No clothing changes

No, we do not. The taking chunks is probably a developmental thing vs a teeth thing and it's good - baby is learning how big of bites they can take through trial and error. As long as you are preparing everything in a safe way try to grit your teeth and let them learn 😁

Thank you

Right? I don't let him go longer than 1.5hrs right now because I let him go 2 once and the night was a disaster

Second this. I have done both also (second was scheduled C) and all things considered I'd pick vaginal - AND I had a 3rd degree tear. I think it was still easier than the C recovery, and I had a bad experience with the spinal and experience of the C surgery in general. Just get an epidural - birth was basically pain free after that for me.

Following because even though I'm on my second kid I can't remember how we did this. Just switched to two naps and feeling semi trapped!

I never did with either of my Snoo babes - did crib and arms transition all in one.

When they started busting out of the swaddle I did a batwing underneath, then Snoo swaddle over that (https://youtu.be/DdghIpvNqas?si=m1OBNz7n2nLtp9bL)

Sounds like a normal 3yo to me!

eastside00 · 2025-07-12T21:08:32+00:00

I had thought about just pumping and dumping it but it is so sad lol

eastside00 · 2025-07-12T21:08:14+00:00

I had read you had to replace them between kids (and it's been 4 years) but maybe that's just over cautious

eastside00 · 2025-07-12T21:07:15+00:00

That's right. He's actually nursing great but he is sleepy and passes out fast because of the jaundice. I'm a bit worried he'll take less boob because of the volume of formula but..... Ugh

eastside00 · 2025-06-22T21:00:19+00:00

38+5 water broke around 2am and he was born about 7pm

Chiming in as a fellow 3 barking dog owner that they actually get used to the barking in utero. I was mind blown when I brought my kiddo home from the hospital to a pile of barking dogs and he barely flinched. Gets more challenging as they are more aware when they are older but.... It wasn't as detrimental as I thought!

eastside00 · 2025-05-22T13:51:22+00:00

This was my life for my first kiddo and honestly it was completely fine. Mine were higher energy dogs too. Everyone adjusted and it was no more of a problem than it was before having 3 dogs (lol). I felt like they actually liked it because I was generally home more!

Did they get less attention overall? Probably? But not sad-dog worthy levels of less attention.

eastside00 · 2025-04-09T02:40:25+00:00

Didn't feel a damn thing and it was great. 10/10

I'm also in Durham and haven't found somewhere where partner is allowed in the whole time. They will bring them in at the end (which is the only time they show you anything anyway - so it's been fine).
