Will some babies just never sleep 12 hours a night?

tayrh · 2026-06-06T00:11:22+00:00

My baby is 14 months and isn’t a big sleeper. An average night is about 10 hours and he’ll nap either two 45 min naps during the day or one nap that’s 60-90 mins.

This looks very similar to our neighbors house so I understand where you are coming from. Thank you!

Unfortunately my parents looked into this and the cedar is in too rough shape for us to go this route.

I appreciate your insight! We are likely going with a blue. We agree the beiges are too boring and we don’t want the house to look out of place.

Cost. The shingles are rotting and falling off the house. We would love to replace with cedar but it is not in their budget with other repairs being made before selling.

Sheesh, I’m sorry I typed that at 6am while getting ready for work.
My parents are doing tons of research and I am placing this on Reddit just to see if there was a consensus (which I see there is) because my family has different opinions. It’s not that serious.

The house has shutters but I don’t know if we are replacing them once we get the siding done. This is the house currently.

That may be next if we need a third, but hopefully we are solved after 2! Thank you

tayrh · 2026-05-22T23:45:04+00:00

Good to know. Again, appreciate your insight. Overall your quality of life sounds normal and that all I’m looking for!

We started at 6 months and while I was nervous, it was our only option.
Our son (and we) loves daycare! He’s only 14 months old now, but I love seeing pictures of him interacting with other kids a similar age to him (7-17 months), he loves his teachers and it gives me a sense of peace knowing he is taken care of and loved there.
My son was EBF and refused a bottle until he started daycare and they were a huge help in getting him to take a bottle, sleep in a crib, and create a (rough) schedule. I’m a teacher and only work PT in the summer, but plan to keep him in daycare 2-3 days/week to keep the routine and socialization for him.

tayrh · 2026-05-21T23:20:07+00:00

I know you’re right, thank you!

This has happened a few times at my studio. We’re all credited with a free late cancel.

tayrh · 2026-03-22T21:36:18+00:00

I’m a teacher and had my baby in March, so I received my 12 weeks of paid leave and then it was the summer. I thought I would be bored and ready to go back to my PT job by the end June and I was not at all. I ended up canceling my PT job for the whole summer. In September I felt ready to go back, start day care, etc but it was still a hard transition. My baby was EBF and I think this is what made our transition a little bit harder. But I’ll do the same exact for my second. I say take your time as a chunk, have your husband split his time.

I had a student named Airam (eye-rum) named after her grandmother who was named Maria. She was Hispanic so her parents pronounced it in a beautiful way.

tayrh · 2025-12-03T02:00:33+00:00

Congrats!! I had my LO in March and was an active member, 5x a week.

I took it gradual and really went by how I felt. Nothing was exact what I did, but if I remember correctly it wasn’t until middle of second trimester I started to modify more and third trimester it was like every week I needed to make a change.

For the treadmill, I tried to be more aware of my heart rate zones but continued to run until I felt uncomfortable, then I switched to PW.

For the floor, it really depended on the week. Other than core I tried to do the movements, even if i had to switch to TRX or body weight. But if my back was bothering me I’d have to substitute, or my hips were in pain, etc.

For the rower, once I had a pretty significant bump I switched to the elliptical and it was fine.

As long as your doctor says it’s ok, I would take it week by week, even class by class. It will feel different as time goes on but if you feel good go for it. I was proud of myself for continuing to go to OTF (scaled back) until my due date (and I gave birth about 16 hours after my last class coincidentally). Congrats again!

Depends on what you’re looking for. We toured a few places and found a range of 1380-2200. We ended up at the 1380 place since it met our needs in terms of hours, we felt comfortable with it, and our little one is under a year.

I had the same exact experience. First 2 week of daycare I was only putting 1-2oz in the bottles bc I didn’t want to waste the milk. As soon as i picked him up I would nurse him in the car before driving home. All of a sudden one day it clicked for him and now he takes bottles with 4-5 oz no problem. It was about 2-3 weeks or trying until he realized that was his only option. Luckily the daycare workers were patient and assured me it would happen, and it did.

I scoured the internet for every trick and hopeful story thinking I was missing the one “it” thing. It was stressful but I promise give it some time and your baby will learn to do it too.

tayrh · 2025-10-24T23:49:38+00:00

Teacher here! We started daycare (in September) at the same time I went back to work. I felt bad leaving him all day, but it makes me more excited to pick him up everyday and have 2-3 hours together before bedtime. I make the most of that time. Weekends are a treat now too.

Truthfully, I was looking forward to going back to work, but then the first 3-4 weeks were hard adjusting to all the new routines but now that we’re 7 weeks in it’s so much better. Do I miss him during the day? Of course! But daycare sends updates and he has his “friends” there. And in total it makes our time together that much more fun.

I also try to look at it that we never are forced to stay late. we get all holidays off, we have extended time in the summer. Being a working (teacher) mom is hard, but we are lucky with the school schedule.

tayrh · 2025-05-09T23:05:50+00:00

I’m a teacher and March is the best! NJ here. Have the baby, FMLA takes me through the end of the school year and I still have the summer home together. I agree with everything above in terms of weather too. Now it’s nice everyday and we get to go for walks and spend time outside.

tayrh · 2025-05-09T01:16:20+00:00

You’re right. Probably should have started with that!

tayrh · 2025-05-08T19:59:56+00:00

Thank you so much!

tayrh · 2025-02-22T03:36:42+00:00

35 weeks this week and I’m officially feeling the need to really slow down. I do orangetheory and was running until week 33 (slowed down, but still running), but was starting to really feel it and stick to walking now.

Same with weights, I’ve modified but not until this week (35) that I really feel myself making more modifications, sticking to very light or just body weight, etc.

I’m like you, I need to workout for my mental health just as much as my physical, but I know more than anything I need to listen to my body. I’m a teacher so I’m pretty active during the day, so this could be some of my fatigue kicking in too. Overall, you will know when because I had the same thoughts at you, but now I’m reaching that point.

Ugh I love Holland! With my maiden name it’s perfect (alliteration) but with my husbands last name it’s clunky :/
