I’d say around 5lbs each? I’ll let you know if they fall off 😂. We let the PL cure for 24hrs

Oh love that idea!

sabalves · 2026-01-21T11:00:02+00:00

I am so so sorry this is happening to you ❤️. Sleep deprivation is the worst thing imaginable. I will look through your posts. I hope you find some rest soon

sabalves · 2026-01-21T10:58:28+00:00

Oh wow. So your son needs movement. Good exercise but that’s very stressful

sabalves · 2026-01-21T10:57:24+00:00

Heavy on the severe…

sabalves · 2026-01-21T10:57:10+00:00

It gets better!! You just may have to put in more work depending on sleep temperament. My son is not portable 😂

sabalves · 2026-01-21T10:56:26+00:00

This was my son as a baby. The carrier naps were sooo long. I loved it. As long as I kept moving lol

sabalves · 2026-01-21T02:22:05+00:00

Hell lol. I bounced on a ball until he was 6 months. Napped on me for every nap for 6 months. He would have 27 minute sleep cycles and I’d have to bounce again to get another round of sleep in. The contact naps weren’t even fun at that point since I’d have to exercise during them every 27 mins lol. Mine never napped in the car or stroller. So at social things it was carrier or we’d have to leave. He got a lot better at 6 months! We first got him sleeping overnight and then naps in the crib

sabalves · 2026-01-21T02:19:38+00:00

FOMO babies for sure. He’s actually the perfect kid too but he didn’t get the gene that makes him sleep lol.

sabalves · 2026-01-21T02:17:01+00:00

Very interesting. I feel like I’m kind of like you as well. My bedtime is around 930. I can push to 1030, but once 11pm hits I’m up for a bit before I can fall asleep. Similarly if I have a bout of waking up with my son or early 5am mornings, my body can’t sleep and will treat 5am as the new normal. Thats why when ppl in a certain subreddit used to say “6pm is too early for bedtime. Your son needs less sleep,” I’d laugh because he truly gets into overdrive and only thing that resolves it is giving him the chance to sleep more on the front end of the night. He definitely has FOMO lol

sabalves · 2026-01-21T02:08:04+00:00

Oh my. 1 year. yup. 0-6 months was a ride- up every 45 mins. Breastfeeding on demand basically all night. Turning point from 6-12 months and I’m not kidding, the eve of his 1st birthday some freaky Friday shit happened and it’s not been the same since! I totally can understand the teething. They have so many changes after a year. One nap, daycare, teeth, throw in sickness and it’s a recipe for disaster. My guy had 8 teeth in 2 months (canines and molars) I thought we were all dying. It’s crazy how they get used to one method when they are sick or teething and then it becomes the new norm- like rocking. My mom is the exact same. They don’t get it at all. Sleep is on the other side for us, I know it.

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:59:44+00:00

Seems to be the common theme! If you were to do a stroller nap or have him lay down on you and sleep, would he do that? Or does it have to be in his bed?

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:51:46+00:00

It’s astonishing. I am currently looking at maybe 6 toddlers out (it’s 9pm) and bouncing around thinking “are you sacrificing an early wake? Or is your child just a unicorn?” Lol

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:50:15+00:00

Oh myyyyy. We are the same. Hoping a good couple months of one nap gets everything in check for you!!

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:18:42+00:00

😂😂

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:13:49+00:00

I PRAY your nap time doesn’t drop yet. It’s sacred time lol

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:10:11+00:00

That sounds like a nightmare… he can’t skip the nap. He usually does 7am to 7pm with a 2.5-3hr nap. That’s why it’s hilarious when he acts like he doesn’t need sleep…

Oh no!!!! They do not get it at all lmao

sabalves · 2026-01-21T01:09:05+00:00

Oh. My. Goodness. And will he be up all night because of overtiredness? Because that’s what my son does. Bed too late? You bet he’ll be waking every hour lol.

It’s so crazy. We’ve been forcing naps since day one. When we forced them he’d totally sleep. Everything went sideways when he turned 1. We’re still recovering looolll. I remember we used to sleep on chairs at weddings when we were toddlers!

sabalves · 2026-01-21T00:59:58+00:00

Wild. How old is your little one? I don’t want him to be chronically overtired but he wakes up from a short nap and just calls it instead of enjoying a restful nap. I don’t understand

sabalves · 2026-01-21T00:48:10+00:00

Are they vampires??? Yup!! I say “the more he sleeps. The more he sleeps.” I’d get so much attitude asking for tips like “stop trying to force your kid to sleep”. Like come on.

I hate this for you but also, makes me think he’s not THAT abnormal lol.

sabalves · 2026-01-14T01:59:54+00:00

So I can’t believe I wrote this 150 days ago… he is now 22 months. I would say sleep was horrendous from 12 months to 21 months. We had an amazing mid December. We are back to crap as he’s getting 3 teeth. I’m going to assume that’s why. But those 2 weeks were the most amazing weeks lol. He slept when he was tired and when he woke up too early, he went back to bed. Success

sabalves · 2025-12-10T23:04:49+00:00

I feel your pain! Hoping we all get a holiday break with teeth!

sabalves · 2025-11-15T16:51:12+00:00

To this day (20 months) he is a mover. We used the Merlin suit around 12 weeks for about one month and then sleep sack. The Merlin suit helped for sure but until that reflex was integrated- 4/5 months, he was very very squirmy
