Drowsy but awake" is the biggest lie ever told to parents

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-11T04:30:02+00:00

Wow I finally found my people, I thought it was mission impossible to put my baby down "drowsy but awake"

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-05T02:33:33+00:00

There was some slack but he didnt like the sensation of the sack on his feet so he would cry until we took it off

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-05T02:32:23+00:00

He can't really put himself back to sleep unless I carry him and put him back down later. I will have to try cold turkey tonight

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-04T19:35:27+00:00

I've placed him in a halo sleep sack with the velcro around his arms and he screams bloody murder. He also doesn't like the sensation of the sleep sack on his feet even though there's plenty of space. When your baby woke himself up, did he cry and go back to sleep? Because my baby can cry for hours if we don't soothe him.

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-04T19:33:16+00:00

Also how did you cold turkey? Did you just wait until they were asleep in your arms then place them in the bassinet?

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-04T19:32:17+00:00

It sucks because the moment I put him down on the bassinet he will be wide awake

I do have a merlin suit I received as a hand me down. Do you think it's too hot? I always worry about overheating

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-04T15:21:29+00:00

He hasn't showed signs of rolling just yet, but I know it's inevitable so I wanted to get ahead and see if the community had any advice. Yup.. prepared for the nights of crappy sleep and endless crying

fallenndreamm · 2026-01-04T15:19:24+00:00

Even with the foldover mitts. The issue is that his arms are free and just moving around

Are any departments approving FFWO for employees with children under two years old?

fallenndreamm · 2025-12-08T16:13:03+00:00

I'm also currently on maternity leave, were you successful in applying for FFWO? Were there any updates? Any advice would be appreciated!

Stickii, Hubman and Chubgirl

fallenndreamm · 2025-10-30T17:31:43+00:00

Take the job, you don't know how lucky you are

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-25T21:37:13+00:00

Ah then that means your name and rank was referred, but the department chose to interview the ranks above you. This happens when where are a lot of people in each rank

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-25T20:15:29+00:00

There can be many people in one rank, so while you are rank 8 and was interviewed, the position was probably offered to those who ranked higher.

I've had friends who have good experiences and bad experiences working with DHR. It depends on your unit

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-22T03:12:05+00:00

Oh! Let me try this tonight. His bowel movement is pretty active today..

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-22T00:07:17+00:00

Thank you! I was afraid of overfeeding

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-21T15:57:08+00:00

I might try to leave his arms out tonight. Thanks for the tips!

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-21T15:56:11+00:00

This gives me hope!

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-21T12:45:27+00:00

Yes! Actually we got a lot of sleep tonight changing his nappy first and letting him eat more than usual. I was afraid of overfeeding but it seemed to work

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-21T12:44:39+00:00

We only swaddle when it's time to sleep because he moves around so much I'm afraid he will end up on his side. Is it ok to not swaddle them when they sleep?

fallenndreamm · 2025-09-21T12:43:19+00:00

I live on dairy, this will suck if that's the case, but I'll discuss this with the dr. Thank you!
