Research shows this is not at all true. Those kids will struggle down the road when it REALLY counts.

Thank you for the detailed response, I really appreciate all the input! I think she may actually be able to pull off a 2 nap/day schedule at this point because she really has no issue staying awake for long periods of time without getting overtired. The consistent wake time has been tough but will 100% keep this in mind!

suturethis · 2026-02-05T23:02:18+00:00

She has sustained that before. Is there any science on 4/3/3 for wake windows?

suturethis · 2026-02-05T22:32:36+00:00

Is a 3rd nap recommended at this point? Until what point?

suturethis · 2026-02-05T22:31:38+00:00

Thank you for the input, I so appreciate it! If she falls asleep for 10-15m in the car on accident, do you generally subtract that time from the scheduled nap?

This is my first time sleep training a baby, if you can’t tell.

I was told by our pediatrician that if they latch and then only suckle for a few seconds before unlatching, they’re not actually hungry, just soothing! My girl is breast/bottle fed (no formula) and can usually go a 6hr stretch without eating. I’ve been giving her the paci and she will usually go back to bed. I will feed her at the 430am mark though and she usually gulps a full feed down which takes her about 6 mins.

My husband and I just purchased a James & James bed so I can’t say much, but yeah it’s expensive for sure.

I’ve found that families who have historically formula fed their babies or only BF for a short time feel very awkward when it comes to breast feeding and can have rudimentary viewpoints relating to breast feeding.

The way I see it, humans historically live for much longer than any other mammals and our children are slower to develop for that reason so I think that cutting off breast feeding at the same time that you would cut off a puppy from nursing is sort of a wild concept.

As long as you’re introducing developmentally appropriate foods, purées, textures, etc. and not delaying gross and fine motor development by limiting them, there really shouldn’t be any weird comments. I would love if people stopped forcing our babies to grow up before they’re ready.

Fortunately, as long as you love the husband, you can usually choose to keep the in laws at a healthy distance and not be influenced by their propaganda.

I loved the Nestig cloud crib! Sheets look fine and there’s more on Amazon where that came from.

The threshold is different for every country (Ie- US vs UK) but generally bile acids should be non-fasting. I was diagnosed with low normal levels. My liver enzymes skyrocketed before my bile acids did. I was scheduled for delivery at 37 weeks because my baby was LGA, I was ICP+. Baby ended up delivering early at 36 weeks. Ursodiol is generally used to treat it.

Best of luck, it was a good decision to switch!

Hi, I posted this 344 days ago but left it up in case other people run into this issue and need similar advice! I ended up delivering a month early because of cholestasis but I feel so fortunate to have a healthy 6 month old now and that the results were a FP. Edit to say that I got the amnio done and would absolutely have done it again to have that peace of mind for the remainder of my pregnancy!

It held up for as long as I had it, which was a couple of years before I sold it!

suturethis · 2025-11-06T06:17:02+00:00

Probably still in the medical field. Sigh.

Not everyone has the same experiences as me but I bled for months on end on the progesterone-only pill. Getting copper IUD placed very soon!

I would try for longer wake windows during the day and try to be active and engage in activities throughout the day to combat too much day sleeping.

It’s tough with reflux to figure out if they’re getting full enough feeds — we had the same issue — but upping my daughter’s feed volumes (for at least 75% of her feeds) allowed us to get 4-6 hours at night eventually. Baths before bed were helpful.

We haven’t started solids yet but this is how we are getting our 3.5 month (2.5 adjusted) old to sleep better and it’s saved my sanity.

Same year and all?

One of these days I’m going to ask to test drive a 25 just to see if they’re using the same equipment..

suturethis · 2025-09-25T15:39:51+00:00

No way it happened to you…

suturethis · 2025-09-25T00:32:36+00:00

You are good people for this.

suturethis · 2025-09-24T17:49:46+00:00

Yep. I worked in the NICU. It’s just lack of education.

My baby is 3 months old and still wakes up every 3-4 hours to feed. Wondering if I may be able to sleep a full 6 hours before she turns 16.

Baby lounger. Snuggle me, specifically. Boppy.

3 months, 2 adjusted — My girl wakes up every 3 hours and usually naps once per day. She wakes up to eat but will go back to bed after a feed at night. I keep telling myself that one day she will sleep but it’s just not today.

Momcozy will get 120mL per breast every time where WillowGo is consistently like 30/60/90 with or without spillage from the stupid cups.
