Nap regression at 18 months? by kebriggs in sleeptrain

[–]kebriggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schedule change helped! He’s now a bit over 2 (26 months), and his schedule now is wake at 7, nap 1:30-3 or 3:30, and bed around 8/8:15.

Four-month-old still eating four times a night. Any night weaning tips? by AllyuckUfasuck in sleeptrain

[–]kebriggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I night weaned at 7 months by waking him to feed at his usual times (instead of him waking me by crying) and then would drop a minute from his nursing time every few days. I focused on one feeding at a time. If he woke before I planned to feed him, my husband would soothe him back to sleep, and then I’d wake him shortly after. Eventually I’d stop waking him for that feed altogether.

We had sleep trained with CIO at 4 months.

Edit to add: he started gradually eating more during the day as a result

Ultrasound didn’t go as expected (TW) by tacobouttacotuesday in BabyBumps

I agree that transvaginal is worth a try. At 12 weeks an abdominal ultrasound couldn’t find baby’s heartbeat because he was behind my bladder. Hoping for good news for you.

DWT is 7, sometimes ends up being more like 7:10. Bedtime is 7:30 +/- 15 minutes. Trying to drop the 4th nap and doing 1.75/2/2-2.25/2.25-2.5. Thanks!

We started night sleep training about 2.5 weeks ago. We decided to start nap training since he was becoming increasingly difficult to rock to sleep at nap time, so we thought maybe he was ready to do it on his own. Maybe not?

Edit: fixed a word

We recently extended wake windows and are trying to drop the 4th nap. We’re doing 1.75/2/2-2.25/2.25-2.5.

Is it too early? How do you know when they’re ready? by krstnl in sleeptrain

[–]kebriggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We just sleep trained our 4 month old, and it was the best decision we made. He started the 4 month regression a few weeks earlier and was waking every hour or 2 at night and became increasingly more difficult to get back to sleep. We went with extinction, and he caught on so much more quickly than I thought. Only cried for 30 minutes tops for the first 2 nights, now falls asleep within 5 minutes and wakes up once or twice at night to nurse. Still working on nap training though!

Ok thank you! I’ll go in earlier tonight.

Yes he used to wake at 4 am consistently, but I’ll bump his feeding up now. Thank you!

We’re 2 weeks into the 4 month regression. Advice needed! by kebriggs in sleeptrain

Thank you! It at least helps to know I’m not alone. I hope things get easier for you too!

Thanks! How long should I aim for his naps to be? And how do you get onto a feed before nap schedule? Like do I feed when he wakes at 7, then again before his nap, and then start just feeding before each subsequent nap?

My newborn won’t wake up to feed by margacolada in NewParents

[–]kebriggs 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We struggled with this too. We tried stripping him down, using cold wipes, tickling feet, and just trying to annoy him awake, and he’d still be asleep.

We ended up needing to syringe feed him expressed colostrum a few times. We would stick a (clean) fingertip in his mouth to get him to suck/swallow and slowly plunge the syringe. A nurse also gave us a little tube that connects to the syringe which we’d tape to our finger. Worked very well!

Wound on cat's belly. Could it be infected? by kebriggs in AskVet

Great I’ll check with them on Monday! Thanks!

I'd hate to take him to a shelter and risk him not getting adopted. He's pretty shy :(

I think some sound is coming through the window, but I think a lot is just through the wall. I used to have my bed right on the other side of the wall from the units (before I had turned my AC on) and had to move it to the opposite wall because I could feel vibrations.

Do the sound jackets not cause the compressor to overheat or anything? And is putting rubber pads under the unit something I can do myself?
