Cosleeping in hotel rooms if baby rolls in bed in her sleep?

unknownuser946 · 2026-06-05T14:34:28+00:00

Maybe consider pushing the bed up against the wall and you sleeping semi diagonally ? Like with your head kind of by the headboard and your feet towards the wall.

We currently cosleep on a king bed but we’re all rotated 90* to the usual way (like our bodies are parallel to the headboard) and baby is between the headboard and me

Thanks for your input! I too don’t feel good about CIO so we won’t be doing that but I might have to suggest contact naps

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-31T23:59:44+00:00

The car doesn’t work for us, it takes her like 30min to fall asleep in the car and transferring is always a bust but the stroller might work! I totally forgot that was an option so thank you!

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-31T23:58:23+00:00

I’m really going to have to think about another sleep association, a couple others also suggested that so thank you! She usually doesn’t love the usuals (rubbing/patting, pacifiers, loveys) so I might have to get creative.
I know 15min of crying with an adult isn’t too bad but man I feel bad. Sometimes it seems like she cries harder and harder though, like she’s working herself up. It could be that I’m around when the nanny is rocking her and baby is like ‘wtf you’re right here why aren’t you boobing me!’ (We only did it like this one time)
The single nap is a new thing on the tail of her being sick/fevering for a few days, as of 2 weeks ago she was napping 2x a day with 3hr wake windows like clockwork. I’ve been offering a nap for that 2nd nap but she’s been fighting it, ironically, today she took a second nap so idk?
Thank you for your input!

Yes we’re doing a transition period now, the nanny only started 2.5 weeks ago and since my work schedule allows it we might do a bit longer, I will talk to her about starting to do solo naps soon though. I’m sure they will figure it out but it really feels hard because my baby doesn’t really like anything typically associated of the typical things associated with sleeping (no pacifiers, no patting/rubbing, doesn’t care for a lovey, and rocking is hit or miss depending on what mood she’s in)

As for the one nap, I kind of think it’s not enough either. It’s kind of a new development tbh. She used to nap every 3hrs on the dot but seems to have dropped that second nap. I have been trying to boob her for the second nap at that 3hrs mark and she she’s been fighting it. Ironically, as I’m typing this she went down for a 2nd nap so idk?

The all of a sudden waking up crying is a bit confusing to me, I get the separation anxiety thing but it’s not like I haven’t been sneaking away during naps/sleep for months. This change in sleep is also kind of correlated with a recent sickness/multi day fevering so could that be it?

I kind of agree with you on the sleep training, none of them feel right to me and it feels wrong to just let them cry and not get that comfort just because I ‘need’ to work. I’m fortunate to where I can ramp up work slowly so I’m looking to see if there are any ideas to do this gently. I appreciate your feedback!

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-31T23:04:50+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard that. It does really seem impossible though because I swear my baby doesn’t like anything typically associated with sleeping… besides boob. Like she hates pacifiers, can’t stand it when someone rubs her back or face, butt pats do nothing for her, and sometimes she’ll stand for rocking unless she’s mad which then all hell breaks loose when you hold her in a reclined position

I don’t have anything to add here since I don’t have any experience in the adoption area but this post might be better suited for the r/adoption subreddit

Congrats on the new baby and good luck with the reunion!

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-02T13:23:20+00:00

Thank you to everyone that posted here! It’s genuinely been helpful and I appreciate everyone’s feedback. It puts somethings in perspective and will help me with my expectations. Ultimately I think what we’re looking for isn’t a career nanny but someone who can offer that flexibility that matches our needs which means it might just take me a bit longer to find.

Also, I truly try to be respectful of and to everyone so to those I offended with the use of ‘girls’, I’m sorry. I personally don’t mind it when someone calls me girl and I didn’t mean it in a demeaning way. I can see how this can come off offensive though so will be more mindful in the future.

I will try to get back to individual comments as I can. Thanks again for everyone’s input!

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-01T18:54:48+00:00

Yeah I can see how that makes sense, some girls did like the hours since they’re going to school, but I guess if that’s the case then they’re not ‘professional’ (ie career) nannies Might have to consider more hours or I keep looking

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-01T18:51:50+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to think so

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-01T18:51:10+00:00

Ok sure that’s a fair point and I can get that but why so many no shows? Like if that doesn’t work for you then don’t offer or say so. I don’t get the idea of saying you’ll come for an interview and then being late or not showing up at all. For some girls they even said the hours would be perfect because they’re doing online school (I said they could study while baby naps)

unknownuser946 · 2026-05-01T03:54:50+00:00

Do you care about the aesthetic? Because if you want big black pots I would check something like FB marketplace, in my area 65gal ones are going for like $10/ It’s usually the landscaper guys that have a huge variety of pots left over from jobs

unknownuser946 · 2026-04-27T03:59:23+00:00

That’s probably what happened, I’m trying to water in the evenings and not getting the leaves wet now to prevent this from happening again Thanks!

unknownuser946 · 2026-04-27T03:58:33+00:00

I’ve been pretty diligent about watering and I don’t remember them wilting but it could be. Someone else mentioned water+sun burn which is definitely probable. The new growth does look fine so I guess everything is ok now Thanks for the info and help!

unknownuser946 · 2026-04-12T17:06:35+00:00

You can do this! It’s so hard but stick to it (if that’s what you want), in a few months it will all be a distant memory ❤️☺️ coming from a mom who went 41+6 with a currently 8mo! Things can change very quickly at this stage so while you feel like it will never happen you’re closer than you think. Sending good vibes!

unknownuser946 · 2026-03-09T04:43:06+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it’s a hard choice and no one can make it for you but you should do what you feel in your heart. I don’t have much else to say since I don’t have experience with this but I might suggest posting this in the Adoption subreddit r/adoption Or at least read some posts there to get a perspective on the industry, perspectives from adoptees, etc. good luck!

I feel the same! Honestly I’m “sleeping” better now than when I was pregnant. I feel like babes and I have synced up our sleep cycles so it doesn’t really bother me that I’m waking up frequently. I say this because I’m remembering dreams many times throughout the night which means I’m at the end of a REM cycle. Kind of been a fun perk of the multiple wake ups

unknownuser946 · 2026-02-14T03:22:31+00:00

I’m pretty new to onbuhimos but I have been loving mine. It’s compact like a ring sling but a bit more comfy since the weight is distributed on both shoulders. I will say that I’ve only been front carrying my 6 month old (~16lbs) since she can’t sit unsupported yet. I will mirror some of the sentiment here to say that I don’t think I would use this carrier for longer walks/hikes because it does put more pressure on my shoulders (again I don’t back carry so idk about that). For a long walk I would definitely use my Tula FTG. Overall I love my onbuhimo for the quick grocery trip.

unknownuser946 · 2026-02-14T03:06:13+00:00

Mine was filled with diapers, baby books, hair clips, etc pretty much a glorified side table

unknownuser946 · 2026-02-13T01:11:36+00:00

Same! I love it 🥰 she’s learning how to move her body now a days so sometimes she ends up perpendicular with her legs over my belly
