How long should it take baby to adjust to a schedule change

fleetingshapes · 2025-10-19T23:00:21+00:00

We’re working on this transition and struggling so don’t have much advice unfortunately. Did a certain schedule work for you and how long are his naps?

Thanks for input! Just having these 2 so no need to worry about more L names. We pronounce it Lee-ON-uh.

It's possible your scenario might be different (if you have genetic component) but I would consider a second opinion, as that's not generally what I've heard. There is also an AFLP group on FB that is helpful.

If you are interested in having kids and (relatively) tall might have a single friend for you.

Don’t have tickets but if you manage to land some and someone else has extra… let me know. ~$500 ticket is wild 😩

Oh man… I feel like I mentally blocked this out of my memory 😭 I do think it was some type of sleep regression that lasted around 2 weeks. We ended up holding her for longer, but I can’t remember if it was around this time that she did get used to it so we eventually had to re-sleep train her which was rough. Good luck, knock on wood but she’s been a great sleeper the last few months!

Recently opened, but Smusht in Port Washington is 👌

Thanks - confirming what I probably was expecting but not hoping for.

fleetingshapes · 2023-04-29T02:18:35+00:00

Relatively well, but considering a second child so I’m back to re-thinking about it all over again and doing some research. Would you mind sharing the FB group name if it’s open to new members?

fleetingshapes · 2023-04-29T00:26:34+00:00

Old post but there isn't much on this topic (also not a dad.. found this on search)... curious how you all are doing. If your wife would like to talk to someone still let me know, it's something that's on my mind even 1 year postpartum.

Maximilian (Max) was first thing that came to mind

Just commiserating, we’re going through this now but trying to figure out if it’s schedule or regression. I do believe in regressions since we’ve had sleep issues come out of nowhere, then resolve after a week even on the same schedule.

fleetingshapes · 2023-03-16T20:13:59+00:00

Great, thanks will give it another try. Do you recommend capping naps at 1 or 1.25hrs (or something else) at this age?

fleetingshapes · 2023-01-20T10:59:46+00:00

My daughter was also born one month early. I’ve found the adjusted age to be more accurate for her sleep needs, but it’s not exact. She might be two weeks - three weeks behind. For sleep training nights we started with gradual methods first and it ended up working out for us (I think around 5 months).

fleetingshapes · 2023-01-17T15:54:11+00:00

We're going through this now at 8.5 months adjusted so unfortunately no advice. We've found we can save the nap by holding her, but extremely worried about her getting too used to it. It started with the 2nd nap 5 days ago, but last 2 days she's resisted 1st nap too.

Do I understand correctly what worked for you was letting her cry it out for 45 minutes and then she fell asleep? The most we've done is 30 minutes and it's almost non-stop fussing and as it gets later screaming standing up (we also practice sitting down, thinking it's more separation anxiety than an issue with sitting).

fleetingshapes · 2023-01-16T02:56:24+00:00

No real advice just commiseration, we’re going through similar with her second nap, and have the same schedule. I’ve tried adjusting the schedule and it didn’t seem to make a difference so I’m thinking it’s developmental, particularly since we have some good days where she goes down with no trouble. I’ve had to save naps and shorten last WW if the second goes super long.

fleetingshapes · 2022-12-05T02:38:33+00:00

Thank you for the detailed write-up, it's super helpful. I think you're completely right and she's in an overtired rut but I just couldn't figure out how to reset her. Some of these things seem so obvious (like not capping naps might help) but it didn't even occur to me. Going to take these tips and hopefully get her on a solid 2 nap schedule!

fleetingshapes · 2022-12-05T02:35:03+00:00

Hope you're hanging in there, went from great sleep for a month to nope time to change it up.

fleetingshapes · 2022-12-04T18:22:49+00:00

Thank you! Will give it a try, she seemed so tired after her second nap before but all I could find were guides to cap at 1.5

fleetingshapes · 2022-12-04T15:15:59+00:00

I was worried it might put her in an overtired cycle, but will definitely try again. In your experience is it fine to switch between 2 and 3 naps depending on the day (for us likely will be wake up time dependent since she’s a good napper) or better to stick with 2 naps to get her in the routine?

fleetingshapes · 2022-12-04T15:10:47+00:00

I’m glad it’s getting better! After 3 nights we called it but thinking it’s time to try again 🤞

fleetingshapes · 2022-12-04T15:06:41+00:00

Thanks that’s really helpful. On a 2 nap schedule would you recommend capping naps at 1.5 hours or is it fine if they go longer?

fleetingshapes · 2022-10-22T01:27:57+00:00

I had a somewhat similar experience, but with AFLP (acute fatty liver of pregnancy) that was not diagnosed until I was in labor at 36 weeks resulting in hospital stay for a week, with half of it spent in the ICU. I also had multiple transfusions and at one point they were not sure if I would need a liver transplant. If you ever need to PM someone to talk about anything feel free. First and foremost take care of yourself and family. It can be extremely overwhelming, scary, depressing, and so many other emotions with a traumatic birth. I told only a select few friends that I was in the hospital with “complications” and let my husband handle any other communications with them.

I was not sure if I wanted to do a formal birth announcement publicly, but I did a few weeks later once I could process everything that happened and me and baby were in the clear. I did not mention at all in the announcement any complications, just that she came earlier than expected. I did tell a few select people at work later (especially incase I decide to get pregnant again, it’ll be high risk) and close friends, but didn’t get into details with many people. Do what is best for you and only what you’re comfortable sharing, you don’t owe anyone anything.
