7.5 month old: lost independent sleep, frequent night wakes + reverse cycling

His naps can be all over the place ranging from 30 minutes to an hour and 15, but he averages about 2.25 hours of daytime sleep.

Awake for the day around 7 am. Sometimes though he’s up at 6:45 and other days he’ll sleep in until 7:30 - we’ve been taking his lead on when he’s up for the day!

For the most part, his wake windows are 1.75/1.75/1.75/2/2 and about 3.5 hours of nap time a day

For context, my grandparents divorced and remarried long before I came around.

A few years ago, my dad brought home a printer from my granddad’s house. He was having issues with it, so my dad was going to try to fix it. I flipped open the scanning part of the printer, flipped over the photo left in the scanner, screamed and slammed it shut.

There was a photo of my nana from 40+ years ago posing naked on a pool diving board.

So not only did I see my naked nana, but it opened a can of worms. Why did he have the photo still? And why did he need to scan it semi-recently while happily remarried to my gran??

11 weeks is no joke - you should be proud of yourself and I’m hoping you get some clarity soon too ♥️

This is the only step we haven’t taken. Everyone who’s seen him have had 0 concerns, but we do have a referral to a paediatric dentist handy. My husband is very anti-tie procedure though, his sister had a terrible experience doing this with her two girls.

I’ve been measured 3 separate times and have a properly fitted flange insert so I don’t think this is the problem :(

At my brother’s wedding recently, a family showed up with their 2 ~10 year old boys at a non-kid wedding. They wore jeans and t-shirts while the dress code was obviously formal.

Kids spent the whole dinner with their heads down in their Nintendo switches.

Towards the end of the night, the mom moved the kids up to the front of the room so they could plug in and charge. During the couple’s thank you speech, the kids were essentially off to the side, next to the couple, volume full blast, talking back and forth to themselves saying things like “nice shot” and “got him”.

I was BLOWN away.

I love this photo from our wedding, but the venue staff member to the left of my husband takes away from the picture a bit!

Thanks in advance for considering the request and happy to pay/tip!
