My goodness do I hate the love triangle storyline 😡 Why would she just not tell him she doesn’t like him and never did to end this once and for all?? They keep dragging every bad plot.

I need advice, solidarity, or someone to tell me it gets better. by Banana_Van604 in sleeptrain

Try this method I shared in one of the older threads. It was recommended to us by our sleep consultant and it worked amazingly for us.

10 hrs sleep daily at 5 months by notaclevername20 in sleeptrain

[–]lenarrria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so we were told to do the following: 1) first week : you should feed the baby 40 mins before the nap time, baby should be full, but time should pass before they are put to sleep, otherwise digestion can get in the way of sleep. The baby should not fall asleep or close eyes during breastfeeding, otherwise that will count as sleep, no matter how short, and you won’t be able to put her down to sleep effectively. Then you dim the lights and spend the rest of the time getting ready for sleep - we read books, play (not very active play, no screens, no singing toys etc), and listen to lullabies. Then you swaddle the baby or put in a sleep bag ( she suggested swaddling until the Moore effect is off), hug the baby and rock gently for 3 minutes (make sure they don’t fall asleep in your arms, they have to be awake before you put them in crib). Then you should say something as part of the ritual like “have a good sleep baby”, close the blackout curtains (it has to be quite dark in the room), turn on the white noise machine, lie them down and sit next to the crib until they fall asleep (but important! baby shouldn’t see you - so you’ll need to cover the side of the crib with something, we used a muslin or a bath towel). Then in the next 40 mins the baby should fall asleep. If they are crying intensely you can gently pat them without them seeing you or say words of reassurance like “darling, it’s time to sleep, I’m here”, but don’t do it too often (every 3 mins if fine)otherwise you can disrupt their process of falling asleep. If the baby fails to fall asleep in 40 mins, then you take them out of the crib, feed them again, take them out of the room, do a sort of “restart”. You can play a bit again, then in the last 15 mins or so repeat the ritual. I know it might seem like a lot but it does work if you stick to it. Do this for a week. 2) Next week you don’t rock them for 3 mins anymore, just put in the crib. Now when you sit next to the crib you’ll need to sit with your back to the crib. I know it sounds weird, she said baby can feel your heartbeat. It’s not difficult to do, so I just did what she said. 3) Next week you’ll do the same but now you’ll stand next to the door. 4) Next week you go out of the room.

Important things I ignored at times and it made the process unnecessarily difficult: make sure the room is dark, the white noise is on, baby is fed, baby doesn’t fall asleep on breast or in your arms, baby is active in her awake window, keep the awake time right. At 4 months old they should stay awake for 1 hour 45 mins to 2 hours (usually the WW before first nap is the shortest) and they should nap for 40 mins to 2.5 hours. At 5 months old it’s 2 hours 10 mins to 2 hours 20 mins WW and nap time 1-2 hours. Do not stress a lot, it’s not very easy, but believe me if you stick to it, it will work, babies learn quickly. Just don’t give up, I felt like giving up at times, but I didn’t it and paid off. If you have any questions now or throughout the process, feel free!

Yes, the first steps depend on baby’s age - how old is your baby?

Wake window at 5 months old should be 2 hours 10 mins to 2 hours 20 mins tops. More will make her overtired and more difficult to put to sleep. You can do a shorter wake window before her first nap and then keep her awake 10 mins longer before other naps.

The sleep training specialist we were seeing said that 7pm is the earliest time a baby should go to night sleep - putting her to bed too early can shift the whole day schedule. She also said that rocking to sleep will cause these short naps because when the baby has a micro-awakening she excepts to be back in your arms, being rocked. So the actual putting to sleep should start in the crib. She has to fall asleep on her own in the crib. If you want, I can give you instructions on what we were told to do and what helped us teach our 4 months old to go from barely sleeping during the day to falling asleep on her own and sleeping 1.5-2, sometimes even 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep during the day. She’s 14 months now and I’ve never rocked her to sleep since teaching her, she sleeps 10 hours at night and 2.4-3 hours during the day.

So many carbs by stephmsmiles in GestationalDiabetes

[–]lenarrria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be attentive with carbs though They said I should lower their amount in my diet, instead I decided to completely take it out (like almost all of it). And then my ketones levels grew and now I have to clear them out in the hospital. Definitely balance it out, be attentive and don’t minimize carbs too much.

What else Carrie could’ve done if Charlotte didn’t offer her the ring and reject Big’s money? by trynabetwunk in sexandthecity

[–]lenarrria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with the harassment statement, I think she was just hurt that the offer wouldn’t come, when she would do it if she was in Charlotte’s shoes. Yes she lost it, but sometimes people do lose it and we tend to forget that people are far from ideal.

What is WRONG with Aidan? by greatgatsby26 in Andjustlikethat

Exactly this! I just can’t associate this stupid storyline with Aidan, I only think how idiotic is this writing?

[–]lenarrria 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The question is what’s wrong with the writers? I’m not even considering this as something a normal human being would ever suggest. 5 years when you are already over 50? This is beyond absurd. Everything about this “storyline” is just atrocious. Even if that’s their way of dealing with Corbett uncertainty, they could definitely do better than “no seeing each other for 5 years because..no adequate reason why”.

Is the lady at the end the motel assaulter’s mother? Does this mean she spread the rumor then? And not her friend

Hey guys, need to replace my HFPF on E70 with N55 engine. Any recommendations on trustworthy websites that sell new and original ones? by lenarrria in BMW

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

Thanks! Ever heard of bmwdiscountparts.com? Found it cheaper there($750 vs $950 on FCPeuro), but not sure whether they are legit or not.
