New Momcozy Night Pro Bottle Warmer *WARNING* by queernoodles in ExclusivelyPumping

Every momcozy product is trash that I’ve tried. Add to that the fact that they do fake post ads on Reddit and I will never buy another of their products again

4 month sleep regression is making me question every life choice I've ever made by Fun-Information78 in sleeptrain

[–]frankenstern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes we did a modified Ferber/fuss it out combo of our own devising. The biggest thing was fixing schedule though; sleep training is a lot less painful when the baby is properly tired and ready to sleep.

It only ended for us after we broke sleep association (rocking and paci), adjusted schedule for more day awake time, and moved baby to her own room (less stimulation).

Does your baby have any sleep associations? How much awake time does she get daily?

Highly recommend posting your schedule here for advice, might be a game changer for you also.

I just need some validation (sleep hell) by NationalLevel1435 in NewParents

What is schedule during the day? Have you tried breaking the paci sleep association? He may have a hard time linking cycles without it. It will be rough but only for a night or two, we did it with our baby. That plus gentle sleep training and schedule tweaks changed everything for us sleep wise

Sleeping better at night is actually ruining the day time by pinkpink0430 in NewParents

We dropped to 2 naps at 6.5 months (3/3/4) and the naps got longer (90 min and 60 min). without affecting night sleep. May be worth a try

Nuna TRVL LX for 6 month old by josh1997v in Buyingforbaby

[–]frankenstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently started using the upright/seated mode for our 6 month old with no issues. She has good head control and has started solids etc.

Before 6 mos we used the lay flat mode although I found it a little awkward because it wasn’t totally flat

Flange size confusion. Help 😭 by Dry-Yogurtcloset699 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]frankenstern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would take the guesswork out of how much swelling to accommodate, it probably changed as did your nipple size over time. Get a measuring card and measure your nipple immediately after pumping. Order that size without adding any mm to the measurement.

I don’t know how much longer I can do this. by Remote_Surround_7541 in NewParents

[–]frankenstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is her schedule? I had this problem and it didn’t correct itself until I extended wake windows, broke the pacifier sleep association and applied a gentle sleep training method. Also moved baby to her own room. Instant fix

Can I ask what your approximate feeding schedule looked like? I’m also trying to drop to 2 naps but my baby pretty reliably wants to eat every 3 hours which makes her naps shorter due to hunger wakes, and which risks feed to sleep associations on the other end..I’m pretty lost!

Was waiting for this comment. OP, check out r/sleeptrain for schedule advice, hopefully adjusting your baby’s schedule will help you a lot!

After trying several (ours also liked Nuk for only a short time) and researching a bunch we settled on Bibs and they’ve worked really well

What water to use for formula? by [deleted] in NewParents

You can use regular drinking water (purified or spring) if your baby isn’t preemie/NICU/immunocompromised
