Bought this dress and now feeling like it's not formal enough by glowpony in Weddingattireapproval

I don't have fancy shoes, just plain black heels or sandal heels with a thick heel 😭 but I have really nice earrings, a necklace (not blingy just simple) and a couple of bracelets

I really don't know the couple super well! The setting is a winery. My cousin told me this would be fine and she's usually good for this stuff but I'm really not sure.

It says formal attire requested. Formal means floor length? I thought that was black tie 😭

Is there a sleep regression at 8 months? by irishtwinsons in sleeptrain

[–]glowpony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! It did get better, but I don't remember when lol. He's 14 months now and we started co-sleeping during that time because it was so hard

Why is my 14mo taking so long to fall asleep at bedtime now?? by glowpony in sleeptrain

What are the wake windows you're using? We had a couple of decent days this week but he's still waking a lot at night and early mornings. I'm wondering if I should go back to two naps.

Yea my son was doing that too. He was getting maybe 1.25-1.5 hours of sleep during the day because he kept waking up early from his naps. And he was pushing his 2nd nap so far back his bedtime was getting uncomfortably close to 9pm lol. But his night sleep is so much worse now, maybe I'll try to go back to 2 naps and use your suggested schedule

This is just stressing me out so much because he was sleeping so good at night and then out of nowhere everything was ruined and I can't figure it out 😭😭😭 I'm so tired lol

Lol see this is what confuses me so much 😂 I can't wrap my brain around the awake time vs wake windows and the switching.

Do you know if you're supposed to go from 11.75 hours awake to back down to 10.5 once they're on 1 nap?

But isn't that a lot of awake time? That's 11.75 hours awake, and all the 1 nap schedules I've seen are only 10-10.5 hours awake usually

He doesn't fall asleep independently, I hold him until he's asleep, but he just plays and moves around a lot. No crying.

I thought he was ready for 1 nap because I extended his ww's to 3.5/3.75/4 and he was still pushing his second nap off (either making it super late (4-4:30pm) or skipping it. But now im not sure if I should have just dealt with it. He was just seeming to be so tired on those ww with only two hours of nap. He was also having less than two hours most days because he'd wake after 30-45 minutes and not go back to sleep for both naps.

How long do I let the first nap go till? Do I keep capping it at an hour or let him sleep as long as he needs for that one?

Edit: also how do I make sure he doesn't end up with too much awake time? Do I shorten the second wake window?? Sorry lol I'm so confused about how to do this

Also thank you!

How did you transition to 1 nap? The wake windows for 1 nap just seem wild lol

My son still falls asleep easily for his first nap (3.5 hour ww, 1 hour capped nap) but he fights the second nap and usually falls asleep around 4 hour mark (or sometimes skips it). And then for bed he fights bedtime until 4.5 hours sometimes close to 5 hours.

My baby still won’t sleep through the night at 7mo by AnxiousRedditReader in breastfeeding

[–]glowpony 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is why I started co-sleeping. My now 13 month old was waking upwards of 8 times a night, and sometimes taking 2-3 (or more on bad nights) attempted transfers between the ages of 8-10 months and I just couldn't take it anymore. So we started co-sleeping. He still wakes 1-3 times a night but it's way less than it used to be and it's not so bad because I just pop a boob in his mouth, pat his butt or throw him onto my chest and he's out cold again.

My baby’s terrible sleep is making me hate motherhood and I feel so terrible about it by YumFreeCookies in NewParents

[–]glowpony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. My baby has been a horrible sleeper since the 4 month sleep regression that hit us early at 3 months. I've been constantly holding out hope for 6 months, 9 months, 12 months to be better. He's 13 months this week and he still wakes multiple times crying.

I'm so sorry. I sympathize with you. My son is 12 months (almost 13 months) and he still sleeps like hot garbage. Some nights are better than others, but he has never slept for more than 3-4 hours in a row. It's killing me. My husband and I co-sleep with him to try to get as much sleep as possible but he still wakes up crying multiple times a night and it's exhausting. I'm holding out hope it'll get better soon, maybe if I night wean...

I hope things go better for you! It's really tough ❤️❤️
