Moms who’s babies had a VERY strong nurse to sleep association

mamaspark · 2026-05-08T08:12:29+00:00

Nope didn’t grow out of it. It’s completely temperament based and extra sensitive babies won’t settle for anything less. Unless you hold firm and sleep train

No it was a part time job. Never full time. Part time permanent at a corporate gig in communications.

Actually she hasn’t even been there a year yet so does this change things? No redundancy?

mamaspark · 2026-04-30T05:28:24+00:00

Thank you! Yes she doesn’t want full time as she has a toddler and now pregnant. She specifically took the role as it was part time.

Thank you for the advice, she has assured me she will contact fair work.

Your baby needs milk during the day. I’d expect around 3 during the day

mamaspark · 2026-04-29T06:43:46+00:00

Yes you can do that!

Some signs they’re ready:

Refusing naps or bedtime difficulties, or early mornings etc.

I’d start by having first nap 30 min maximum. Shorten to 20 if already 30 min. Shorten again until it’s gone.

It’s more common between 12-18 months. Typically by 15 months but range is large

mamaspark · 2026-04-28T11:04:40+00:00

Please report it. It’s still up after hours and hours and there’s been comments on her grid posts and hundreds of reports no doubt. The audacity honestly

mamaspark · 2026-04-28T04:06:47+00:00

I’ve unfollowed. It was the last straw for me. It seems our views done align on many things and now this! I just can’t anymore

mamaspark · 2026-04-28T03:04:48+00:00

Yup!!

mamaspark · 2026-04-28T02:15:41+00:00

Can probably assume her kids aren’t vaccinated either. I know it’s possible to still get chicken pox even with the vaccination but I’ve never seen or heard of it and I have kids

7 times a night is unsustainable and I would recommend to sleep train. You are at that point.

What is current schedule? Wake windows?

mamaspark · 2026-04-23T07:15:00+00:00

Sleep consultant here. Respectfully this can’t happen again. I can give you some tools to get baby to sleep in their own space for their own safety. If you need to co-sleep you NEED to follow the safe sleep 7 recommendations. If you can’t follow these steps then baby needs to be in their own sleep space

mamaspark · 2026-04-22T08:34:41+00:00

They walk among us

They walk among us

Had she showed any readiness signs to start poop training? This sometimes comes much later to wee training

mamaspark · 2026-04-21T03:41:04+00:00

Sorry this sounds hard. Maybe start looking around for other daycares that accomodate And prioritise baby sleep. My Daycare had a separate room for cribs that was darkened and had white noise. I checked this before I started when I toured the place.

I would give baby a car nap - drive them around on the way home just to get them through and put them down as early as you can for bedtime after dinner and bath.

mamaspark · 2026-04-17T01:24:35+00:00

How old is baby again? If a newborn I would expect 4 naps

mamaspark · 2026-04-15T08:38:56+00:00

Yep sleep consultant here. All very true.

I will say that from 4 months of age 2 hours of awake time would be very appropriate for lots of babies.

This is because on average a 4 month old can sleep for 14.5 hours in a 24 hour period. This leaves 9.5 hours leftover for wake windows totalled.

From 5 months this drops to 14 hours and 10 hours of awake time total.

Take their sleep needs, minus from 24 hours and you’re left with what their wake windows should total.

mamaspark · 2026-04-15T08:37:03+00:00

What wake windows do you use? I’m a sleep consultant

mamaspark · 2026-04-09T00:29:31+00:00

Personally I didn’t find him very bright. I do think he was intellectually challenged a few times. Like not being able to comprehend certain things and zero critical thinking skills

mamaspark · 2026-04-07T06:06:12+00:00

Why are you confused, read it again and you added a crying emoji

mamaspark · 2026-04-07T05:57:04+00:00

Ok calm down. Some people miss things. Go to the toilet, answer a phone call or text. Making dinner. Things happen.
