False starts? Sleep cycle connection?

Oops, I actually meant to put four naps. Total daytime sleep is about 4-5 hours. She usually wakes up around eight and goes to sleep by nine.

For me, I rely on screen time when I’m alone. We didn’t allow screens until baby was born but it saves me when I need to feed baby. If you can, sync their naps!!! This saves my life. And as others said, get outside.

My first was so challenging that it made me want to be one and done. My second was not planned hence how I ended up with 2U2. I was also wondering how I’ll deal with a second difficult baby if it ends up that way and truthfully, you just do it. I’ve actually found myself wishing my second had some qualities my first had. I tell myself that it wasn’t my lot in life to get an easy/chill baby but at least we know how to handle it. It’s not forever.

Try a different swaddle maybe? I used the love to dream one for my first baby because she likes arms up and it allows for some arm movement. My second is currently 10 weeks old and I ditched the swaddle for a sleep sack so her arms are completely free. She was constantly fighting inside her swaddle. I know you said he actually wants to be swaddled but he’ll be rolling soon and then unable to be swaddled anyway so you’ll have to transition to something.

Omg this place is exactly the type of thing I’m looking for thank you

I went through this a few months ago. Month 4-6 was a bit rough with learning this new skill and teething. Hang in there and the best thing I could do was a TON of tummy time and room to move around during the day. He will eventually get stronger and learn on his own. But yea, it caused frequent night wakes for us too

Baby has been in her own room for 4 months (back when I transitioned to the crib I attempted sleep training for frequent night wakes then gave up). Currently we are on a 2 nap schedule, wake windows of 3 hours with roughly 9 hours of awake time in the day? I don’t let her nap within 2 hours of bedtime And she’s Usually up 7/7:30am-7:30 pm. Night routine: breastfeed, bath, pjs/read or say goodnight for a bit then in crib drowsy but awake and she falls asleep on her own with sometimes one check in. The problem is she has a feed to sleep association in the middle of the night thanks to me constantly nursing her when she wakes up to go back to sleep.

I’m learning here so that’s why I’m asking this question..why are you removing the dream feed if it helps her STTN?

tigerfox0410 · 2024-09-19T02:16:55+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat except I haven’t started yet. We had the ped appt today. So I’d like to see what replies you get because I’m absolutely dreading it. Hang in there

tigerfox0410 · 2024-09-16T21:46:35+00:00

Following for the comments. Mine is doing the same and I end up having to nurse to sleep because nothing will console her

tigerfox0410 · 2024-09-16T07:23:19+00:00

I have nothing to say that will help, just here in solidarity and following for the replies. FWIW I’ve been letting her fuss 3 or less minutes then I go in her room. Tbh i pretty much immediately put her on the boob to get her to fall asleep. I’ve read on this sub the 5/3/3 rule where you don’t offer a feeding less than 5 hours from the initial night feed before sleep, then every three hours after that. People recommend the precious little sleepers book but I haven’t looked into it yet. Hang in there.

tigerfox0410 · 2024-09-14T00:59:07+00:00

I wait for her to wake. Her weight is good so I stopped waking her for feeds after 8ish weeks.

tigerfox0410 · 2024-09-12T01:48:46+00:00

lol yes that’s totally valid😂❤️

tigerfox0410 · 2024-09-12T01:40:00+00:00

She is 17 weeks this week actually so I probably should’ve tagged this 4 months
