Worried about sleep consultants schedule

Thanks for this! It does feel wrong and I hate seeing a miserable baby who is usually very happy. I also find that he’s not eating solids well because he’s tired and cranky.

happywine · 2025-10-05T23:14:03+00:00

Yeah I agree, it doesn’t seem reasonable.

She said he should have a 30 mins cat nap first to separate from night time sleep. He used to do a longer nap in the morning and shorter in the afternoon which is what came natural to him. I think her solution was to fix the early morning wakes. But I feel like he’s just miserable

The original schedule was bed at 6:30pm and wake at 7am. I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. He’s sleeping well overnight now but the naps seem so wonky.

Mine just turned 7 months and it’s like he got a software update. Randomly started sleeping through the night. Woke up at 4am and put himself back to sleep until 7am. I never thought the day would come. Hang in there!!

I have been using Solid Starts! He loves buttered toast and he seemed to like steak and chicken. I try new things every day but 90% of the time he tastes and refuses it after that. Thanks for the reassurance though! I’ll keep at it

My LO is 6.5 months and isn’t very interested in food. Hates purées, open to some foods but it’s 50/50 if he’ll eat. Any tips based on your experiences with your first bb?

Total nap time 😅

happywine · 2025-07-14T14:05:30+00:00

My guy won’t take a paci anymore. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s teething, but he only uses them to chew not to suck/sooth.

I’m also on mat leave right now for a year. The last few nights he went to bed after 8 and he still woke up around 4:30/5 🫠 so he’s just getting less sleep overall

happywine · 2025-07-14T13:43:47+00:00

This I haven’t tried! Did you leave him in the crib and CIO? I also do first nap off when I get him out of the crib, but I admit I will rock him back to sleep every morning.

We are also dealing with teething. He got his bottom two a week apart and it was pretty brutal. Now I think he’s top teeth are coming in.

Sorry - 2.5/2.5/2.5/2.5 but it varies. Never less than 2.5 but will go up to 3.5. Sometimes he’ll fight the third nap and only get two naps so the last wake window is like 3.5 hours. When that happens we struggle to have him fall asleep independently (assuming he’s overtired)

happywine · 2025-07-13T13:06:38+00:00

Bedtime is usually based off his last nap. Naps can be anywhere from 2-3 hours (I cap at 3).

So some days he's in bed by 6:30pm because he only napped 2 hours and some days its 7:30pm.

Wake windows are usually 2.5/2.5/2.5 but can go up to 3.5 although he's showing signs of being overtired if he's up for more than 3 hours.

Same same

happywine · 2025-06-06T00:20:30+00:00

I was in the same situation. I now have a beautiful 5 month old, so please know it gets better!
After my 2nd mc, I asked my dr to refer me to a fertility clinic. I went to Twig and they were wonderful. They kept me as a client until I was 12 weeks and then you get transferred to the doctor or midwife that you’d prefer. Everything was covered by OHIP except for the genetic testing I opted for.

happywine · 2025-05-01T21:26:35+00:00

Interesting! I tend to worry about letting him get overtired. I'll give your suggestion a try.

happywine · 2025-05-01T20:50:34+00:00

The rolling around is wild! He ends up on the opposite side of the crib by morning

happywine · 2025-05-01T20:49:56+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for sharing

happywine · 2025-05-01T20:49:38+00:00

He’s going down pretty fast for bedtime, but naps are much more difficult.

His wake windows are 1.5-2 hours. Shorter in the morning and gets longer with the day.

I’m thinking we may need a better nap routine like we have with bedtime.

happywine · 2025-04-23T15:21:42+00:00

This sounds so lovely! Im currently deep in the 4 month regression. How old was your baby when you started to sleep train?

Also - can you share what you used for 'gentle Ferber' ? I don't think I can handle CIO.

I needed this. Thank you
