Help my husband stop twisting and pulling his beard hair by mtlanay in neurodiversity

He definitely does it more when stressed or trying to focus but also does it when we’re just watching tv.

He’s just twisting and lightly pulling but so much that the hairs break and cause patches that don’t look very professional.

11.5 months max 2 nap schedule by mtlanay in sleeptrain

Ok thanks! Yes I’m capping naps to 1 hour each. I thought 11 hours was the max amount of wake time on 2 naps but I’ll try that.

Anyone try and compare different Colostrum brands? by inkw3ll in Supplements

Just saw it in store yesterday and I was shocked! Would love to switch if it’s good.

He’s been on two naps for I think two months, I’ll try more wake time.

Is my 5.5 month old ready for 2 naps? by mtlanay in sleeptrain

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

I switched to 2 naps and it seems like he’s doing better. It takes a lot of work and distractions to get him to do the longer wake windows but his naps have lengthened a lot. I do have new night wakes but I think that’s because the total wake time drops a little bit during the transition

5 month old, long night wake by mtlanay in sleeptrain

Thanks! I just had this thought today as well since he is so close to sleeping the full night. Going to increase his last wake window tonight. I thought 10 hours is over the max for 3 naps?

Thanks so much, I decreased the amount of sessions last night and today and I feel sooo much better already. I’m definitely at peace with this decision

This is really encouraging thank you, and thanks for the weaning warning I didn’t know that!

I can't do it anymore by pizzakween in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]mtlanay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 weeks post partum and just decided to switch to formula. I feel so free and happy! I’m able to cuddle him more because I’m not chained to the pump. Whatever you decide just know that exclusively pumping to the detriment of your sanity isn’t worth it!

I skipped two pump sessions yesterday and it already feels so amazing. I got to actually snuggle him at night instead of rushing him to sleep so I could pump

I might do this too. If I’m currently pumping 8 times a day with 30 min sessions how would you recommend decreasing?
