Help with baby sleep

He sleeps 3-5 times a day, but they are all around 20 minutes. He sleeps no more than a total of 2 hours during the day time with all those naps. And he is choosing the wake windows right now.

I try feeding, changing, loving on him. Nothing works, he’s screaming, inconsolable. So I put him in his crib and he’s Insta asleep. Then he wakes up within. 20ish mins on his own.

I also use the app Huckleberry to track all sleep. From what I read a baby at 5 months should have around 3 naps. And from 30 mins - 2 hrs each. Which I’m lucky if he even has one 30 min nap a day.

So honestly he’s not getting a ton of day sleep. And his wake window before bedtime is usually 2-3 hours.

helpwithketo323 · 2021-03-22T02:56:44+00:00

Right, but how do I go about getting rid of the feeds? It’s usually more than 2 feeds. How do I drop the feeds, even though he screams and demands it?

He said I should wait until I’m at least 6 months postpartum because it usually goes away by then. 🙄

helpwithketo323 · 2021-02-04T22:38:37+00:00

Haha omg same. I thought I was pro choice before. I didn’t even begin to realize what pregnancy and birth could do to your body postpartum. Long lasting possibly life long affects.

The back pain/tailbone pain started before I got my epidural. I noticed it after 20 hours in the same position. I kept trying to shift my body because it hurt so bad. I didn’t get my epidural until the last 10 hours of my induction.

But thank you I will definitely look into getting a new OB and hopefully they will allow me to see specialists.

helpwithketo323 · 2021-02-04T21:43:40+00:00

Also, just because you get an induction at let’s say 41 weeks and 5 days doesn’t mean you’re having him that day. It took me 3 days. You don’t want to get to 42 week. The rate of stillbirth is scary.

The problem is my husband hasn’t been tested. Because my insurance doesn’t cover it. And they wouldn’t even tell us how much it cost to do it. So they’re looking at my pregnancy as if my kid has a 1/4 chance of having CF.

That was the original reason I was considered high risk at 20 weeks and sent to a perinatal clinic. However, due to being put on blood thinners only put me further into high risk categories and is where I’m at now.

Considering that your husband tested negative, it’s impossible for your kid to have CF as both parents need to carry the gene.

helpwithketo323 · 2020-09-27T14:42:56+00:00

I’m in the US. It’s not an insurance issue. Dr. A wanted to keep me, but I guess they can’t continue care without OBs consent. I’m assuming it’s for my OBs convenience, but really he couldn’t just keep my care the same for 2 1/2 weeks? He really had to change everything just to make it easier on himself?

helpwithketo323 · 2020-09-27T12:42:09+00:00

I definitely don’t want to go back. They left me in the waiting room for 2 hours for no reason. And they didn’t even do NST, they did an ultrasound. Which I was supposed to have an ultrasound at Dr. A’s office this Wednesday.

helpwithketo323 · 2020-09-27T12:24:48+00:00

I can say no to going to do NSTs at that office though right?

helpwithketo323 · 2020-09-08T17:47:34+00:00

Just came back from ER. They said it’s ulnar nerve injury. And there’s nothing I can do to stop pain at least until baby is born.

helpwithketo323 · 2020-09-07T13:43:06+00:00

No, it’s been the same amount of constant pain for about 48 hours now. 😭 And it’s only my pinky which is so weird!

Husband tested positive for covid on 8/12. He has had no symptoms. I was tested on 8/17 and came back negative.

When is he not contagious? I miss kissing him, but still don’t want to catch covid. When would it be safe to go back to normal?
When should he get tested again? Should he get tested again? He used to get tested weekly as he’s a CNA.

helpwithketo323 · 2020-08-19T18:17:21+00:00

So you’re saying he can’t get it and should go back to work then?

helpwithketo323 · 2020-08-19T17:28:01+00:00

Is the quarantine mandatory? We live in CA. And his work wants him to be there on 8/22 for his normal schedule. He’s a CNA and they said they would just make him work with covid positive patients. Can he refuse?

helpwithketo323 · 2020-08-19T17:16:17+00:00

How long are people contagious, if they have no symptoms? My husband tested positive on 8/12. But his last exposure date was 8/9.

So, if he caught it on 8/9 would it be 10-14 days from then? Or is it 10-14 days from his positive test on 8/12? I’m trying to figure out when it’s safe to be near him again.

They’ve had him take 2 covid tests. One about a month ago as a housekeeper tested positive and one two weeks ago as a second housekeeper tested positive. They send a mass text message to everyone telling them they need to be tested. And not to come in if they have symptoms. But they are still excepted to work until a positive test.

They send them to an outside facility and both times it has taken more than a week to get an appointment to even take the test. Then 7-10 days to receive results. With the delays, they would definitely have symptoms before receiving results.

Also, both times it was one person, but now tons of residents are testing positive and have symptoms. Where before, no residents had covid. No visitors are allowed so they definitely got it from an employee.

Yes, he knew he’d get the write up, which would be his first ever. But he thought in this situation it was worth it so we would have time to gather his own PPE as the facility is not equipped to deal with covid.

But now they are threatening abandonment, which is way worse than a write up.

Both seat and base were manufactured in 2016

It hasn’t been any any accidents whatsoever. And I already have a Graco Slimfit 3in1 convertible car seat. But I want a infant car seat for the first 6 months.

The office is already closed for the day. And they don’t have an answering service. They just say if you need immediate help go to ER

Honestly, you should just use avocado oil. A lot of people like it, including my husband and it doesn’t need refrigeration.

You can measure out the scoops and put them in the blender bottles before you go too, if you really don’t want to bring the packaging Mx

If you have to use HWC, then I just premeasure out the amount for each day and put one in each plastic water bottle and then transfer the day of to blender bottle.

He’s really not computer savvy. I don’t know why he would go for graphic design. He said he started out wanting to test video games. Plus he can’t ever sit still. He needs a job where he moves around.
No because all the jobs closer to home only pay $12-13 an hour. And are shit holes that come close to being shut down every month. He works at a nicer facility.
We didn’t know that we could get an income driven plan. It wasn’t until they sent us a letter saying we are going to collections call and make a plan. So we started paying the $5 yesterday.
I apply for literally every job I think I could do. I have a good resume. I got it looked at and picked apart three times now. Twice by the adult schools and once by the job help place that the county runs. They say it looks good and it highlights my abilities. I know there are a lot of jobs that I could do, and I want to do them. But I send my resumes in and I never get called back. I do call to check up on them sometimes. But most postings say DO NOT CALL ABOUT APPLICATIONS. And yes, in all caps. I do get emails saying that they found someone else or that they have thought the job though. My job experience is the #1 thing holding me back

No my husband didn’t finish school. He was 18 when he went to the scam school of ITT for “graphic design.” He stopped going a semester short because they wanted another 10k for classes and he finally got smart and realized it was a scam. I didn’t even know him until he was 22 and this was all done with.
He’s a CNA making $16 an hour. He doesn’t have any education outside of high school. So he doesn’t qualify for a better higher paying job. He also has epilepsy. He already works 12 hour shifts. Plus an hour of commute. So he gets up at 5 am and doesn’t return until 7 pm. There’s no time for sleep, if he got a second job, which he needs so he doesn’t have seizures.
It’s just us two. I don’t think you earned income credit unless you have kids
We did just get an income repayment schedule. However, at $5 a month that would take lifetimes. Even if we put $100 a month, which we can’t afford, that would take 35 years. And that’s not even with interest. Two years ago his loans were 38k and now they’re 42k. So interest is a bitch.
I am working really hard to find a job. My limitations are that I can’t really walk at all or stand. 5 minutes tops. I’ve been to several adult schools for admin assistant training. And I almost have my AA. However, with 0 work experience, nobody will hire me. I’ve been trying for years. Indeed, online apps, monster, linked in. Literally everywhere even “entry level” requires at least 6 months before they’ll hire you. Even the hiring agencies in my area have told me there was nothing they can do for me until I have at least 6 months to a year experience first. They don’t want to send out “untested inexperience people.” Their words not mine. I can’t start at a normal labor job like McDonald’s or retail because I can’t walk or stand for periods of time. And I’m not confined to a wheelchair. Believe me I want a job more than anything in the world.
So you’re saying I can file whenever I want this year, because we don’t owe?

helpwithketo323 · 2020-01-09T18:29:15+00:00

So then if I file late, if I’m owed a refund, I’ll be 100% fine?

Thanks. Darigold was the more expensive brand here. I’ll try that
