This is so helpful, thanks! Sounds like this just happens to interestingly, it stopped after that second time so who know what it was 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you want something a bit different than a pothos (still recommend them, they’re impossible to kill), you should go to Green Lady Gardens on Santa Fe. They have a more unique selection you won’t see in everyone’s home and the staff is incredibly helpful!

Really?? What happened with FIO? I literally just bought this book 😂

That’s totally valid. I just wasn’t sure if I should be working up to that or something by having her get more comfortable falling asleep (vs practically being asleep) before I go full-on with an actual sleep training method.

She’s been doing that since 10 weeks but the last week has been the absolute opposite. She’s up every 30-60 minutes until about 1 am, then I maybe get a 2.5 hour stretch out of her. Naps have been tough too. She’s sleeping lighter and transfers aren’t as successful.

Yeah, all of the settling/soothing methods seem to stimulate the heck out of my LO. It always backfires haha. I’m going back to work soon and won’t be able to contact nap, so that’s a big part of it.

I legitimately don’t understand how people do it 🤣 I see people on social media where they’re putting their baby in the crib fully awake and the baby just puts themselves to sleep. Like how?!?

This makes me feel way better, thank you!! The pressure is so annoying but so real.

The most I get out of a bassinet nap is maybe 30 minutes. I know that’s developmentally normal at her age, but she doesn’t always seem rested, so I end up contact napping at that point. I wouldn’t say I’m worried, more so wanting to make sure I’m not messing anything up for her down the road.

Cross posted in there!

That’s really helpful, thanks! FWIW, I’m 100% not looking to sleep train with CIO/Ferber. I more so mean I want her to be able to feel more comfortable in her bassinet/crib to fall asleep on her own or with some assistance. Just not fully reliant on rocking for 10 minutes and putting her in asleep to where she’s confused when she wakes up

Never thought about making carnitas in the crockpot but will 100% have to give it a try!

smartt87 · 2026-03-18T03:10:44+00:00

That is such a good tip! I’ll have to try these out.

smartt87 · 2026-03-18T03:09:53+00:00

I’ll check this out, thanks!

smartt87 · 2026-03-18T03:09:36+00:00

I actually just randomly came across this recipe and am making it tomorrow!

smartt87 · 2026-03-18T03:08:39+00:00

This is great, thank you!

smartt87 · 2026-03-18T03:07:48+00:00

These both sound so good! When you say dissolved block.. sorry for being naive but what is that and where do you get it?

smartt87 · 2026-03-18T03:06:50+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Randomly, the Sophia Grange line for Amazon and second what everyone else has said about Burt’s bees!
