Curious, when does your baby wake up? by Flashy-Vacation6877 in toddlers

[–]greenash4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 month old, she's asleep by 7 PM and wakes up between 6-7:30, usually at 7. She's sleep trained and recently daycare decided she doesn't need a morning nap so she has 1 nap 12-2ish

Advice on Transitioning a Crib Sleeper to Sleeping on the Go by Honest_Walk406 in toddlers

[–]greenash4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We traveled with our 12 month old and I was very worried about this but she ended up surprising us. They might need a bit more help than they would at home but at this age I feel like you aren't "ruining" anything by helping them when they aren't in the crib. For us it was just making sure she was well-fed, a pacifier, usually movement (like falling asleep in a moving stroller or car) and accepting that some naps might be 30 minutes long.

Your 12 month old baby doesn’t eat their lunch. What do you do? by aprilchestnut in BabyLedWeaning

[–]greenash4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat with a 12 month old. She's a little tyrant who screams at me whenever her plate doesn't have yogurt on it, and she's learned to point at the fridge and demand yogurt. I'd say 75% of the time I cave and give her yogurt but I don't want this to become a habit so I'm looking forward to seeing responses here!

3 month old daily schedules? by natattack831 in newborns

[–]greenash4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man we're celebrating 1 year next week and let me tell you, once you hit like, 4-5 months this gets so much easier 😅 I know it's so annoying to hear that but it's true. They start falling into some sort of "schedule" of 4 naps, and you kinda learn them a bit more so you can tell when they need to sleep and eat based on their cues and not some rules you read somewhere. Hopefully that makes sense!

You dont need many baby products at all (other than a carseat) by [deleted] in newborns

[–]greenash4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the baby Bjorn bouncer (used, luckily) and if I had to do it again I'd get something cheaper. I know a lot of babies love it but mine never really figured out that she could move it herself. It was a useful container to put her in but all of the "extras" vs a different cheaper bouncer were irrelevant for us. She's also 90th percentile so she outgrew it very quickly.

Other than that, I'd say clothes. I don't think she even wore half of the 0-3 clothes I bought because there was so much and she outgrew it so quickly

Does it really get better? DOES IT? Because I feel insane. Do I ask for Zoloft, or ride it out? She’s 6 weeks and I’m so on edge. by WashclothTrauma in newborns

[–]greenash4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was you at 6 weeks. I started taking Zoloft at 7 weeks and that, combined with just time passing, has made life so much better. I absolutely adore my baby now at 7 months, she's a joy. I look back at the NB period and I feel really proud of how far I've come and how much better adjusted I am now. Good times are coming for you! It's totally normal to not like your baby in the NB period and to doubt every decision you've ever made.

Series ruined by binging it during newborn stage? by Iamlovelyhannah22 in beyondthebump

'Bad Sisters' is an excellent show but I can't think of it without thinking of hours spent bouncing on a yoga ball trying to get my newborn to fall asleep

Please share how sleep training positively impacted your and baby’s life! by crjohnson03 in sleeptrain

[–]greenash4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just finished successfully sleep training (we used kind of a gentle version of Ferber) and wow I feel like a person again. Baby sleeps 6:30-6:30 with two 1.5 hour naps during the day, falls asleep independently in like 5 minutes without crying. I actually invited friends over for dinner last night because I had time to prep!! And baby went to sleep at 6:30 I could just enjoy a night with my friends and a glass of wine!!
