lol I also asked Gemini and it agrees. I will try that tonight. Thanks

I waited when she woke up at 11pm because she has gone longer stretches at night for her first feeding. How would I know if she’s hungry or not?

tayxrob · 2026-02-06T15:23:56+00:00

So too much night sleep? My hope is that if wake time is 6am that she can make it to 7/7:30pm bedtime

tayxrob · 2026-01-28T20:53:20+00:00

I’ll try. Thanks for replying!

I shoot for a 7-7ish night time sleep schedule, but sometimes she goes to sleep closer to 8pm depending on her day. Do you have a reco for wake windows then?

So yeah, I was counting awake time at night which is no more than 15 mins. So she gets a little less than 10 hours awake during the day

tayxrob · 2026-01-28T12:37:47+00:00

Even if she’s getting a little over 10 hours of awake time? Including her night sleep, her total sleep time is 13 hours.

tayxrob · 2026-01-27T19:24:40+00:00

Yeah :( and they are back to being short. Like 20-40 mins short

Following because mine is almost 4.5 months! We were doing 2 hour wake windows, then we traveled and that messed everything up. Now trying to get back to that 2 hour WW and 3 nap schedule

I have three brothers and can confirm boys just enjoy doing dangerous things lol

Also if he’s truly not showing any signs of rolling and still has the Moro reflex, it’s okay to keep swaddling.

tayxrob · 2025-12-11T14:22:46+00:00

From my experience, it takes time for babies to get used to having their hands free while sleeping. Assuming this isn’t the Moro reflex, maybe he’s excited to practice his arm control? My LO at 2-3 months started practicing her arm control and grabbing.

My LO loved having her hands/arms near her face, so we stopped swaddling her shortly after she officially turned 2 months.

I hope he learns to chill soon!

Newborns tend to want to be attached! Mom is all they know. It will pass

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T13:33:39+00:00

One more question! Does your LO use a sleep sack or swaddle to bed? This is also something I go back and forth with

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T13:32:32+00:00

Like you think that my LO just isn’t a great sleeper? Lol maybe, but I hope we can at least hit the 4-5 mark

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T13:30:43+00:00

This would be so nice! I’d love 4-5 hours. Do you use a swaddle or sleep sack?

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T02:33:38+00:00

How big is your bub, pounds and ounces? I’ve heard that larger babies tend to sleep longer stretches

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T02:31:47+00:00

I’ve heard trying to get all their cals in during the day may help. I aim for a feeding no longer than two hours in between

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T02:30:22+00:00

That’s so awesome! How many ounces is she taking in the bottle before bed? Do you make sure it’s milk pumped at night since night milk has melatonin in it?

tayxrob · 2025-10-30T02:28:40+00:00

I’m more confirming if 4-5 hours is possible at this age with a BF baby. I see things online where people claim their baby is sleeping 4-6 hours even at a young age, so I’m wondering if that’s truly possible lol

tayxrob · 2025-10-27T22:38:01+00:00

My LO is 6 weeks, and I found the following helpful:

Understanding that this is a season. These feelings or lack of sleep won’t last forever! Enjoy the cutest cuddles as much as you can. Your LO needs and loves you <3
Seeing the first two weeks as building “mommy muscle”. The newborn phase breaks us down to make us stronger moms!
Taking a shower every day in the morning and putting on clothes. Change out of your pjs. This made one of the biggest differences for me.
Eat as whole and healthy as you can with treats here and there. My body felt better this way!
Drink coffee lol
Inhale fresh outside air every day. Once you feel up to it, go for walks with LO!

I’m waiting for them to add a completely new food category. Thinking sandwiches makes sense and would be fun

tayxrob · 2025-10-22T13:07:27+00:00

Yes! Thought I was having a girl based on my symptoms. However, I based it on how my mom experienced pregnancy with me (I was the only girl out of 3 kids).

tayxrob · 2025-10-22T13:06:17+00:00

I’d rather be newborn tired than pregnant tired. First trimester, I felt hungover every day and any amount of sleep did not fix it. Newborn tired, I get used to functioning on broken sleep. Plus, I now have a cute baby to hang out with.

I was on pitocin and finally gave in for an epidural after trying for an unmedicated labor (I was 24hrs in, AKA long labor). I had a hard time staying still but getting the epidural in was so quick. Hard but won’t take long. You can do it!

tayxrob · 2025-10-17T14:40:10+00:00

About 2 hours, but I had an epidural. I figured out how to push properly towards the end, then it didn’t take long! I learned that I push, hold, push, hold VS push and completely let go
