@worshiplady3 Mine does too! I let him sleep until we get to where we need to go then I pick him up gently and hold him and 9 out of 10 times he take a couple minutes to fully wake up and then he's back at it with no issues. Very infrequently he'll stay asleep (that's usually if he's suuuuper...

@singbassman Good question. I don't know if they emphasize it in a way that excludes other types of feeding. I think (from what I remember) it was more like if feeding is well established, and the baby is stimulated with sunshine and new experience (I'm obviously paraphrasing here) the natural...

@debkath I believe this is one https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7413483/

@lt77 Technically, yes. Possoms offers great tips and gentle, science-based advice. Worth looking into for sure as CIO has a lot of downsides on the back end. Nothing is a quick fix, and that's fine because your little one will grow up and be more predictable. I know it's easier said than done...

@mountainmoversevangelism I think teething throws everything off for sure. And when it comes to that, the question is what's the best way to soothe? A cold teether? Camomile etc. whatever you think. Teething to me felt like ok we have to ride this wave. I was breastfeeding so it was just making...

@ks777 I was very lucky in that I had support around and also covid meant everyone was home anyway. I assume it depends on the place of care. for example my son’s preschool asks the kids if they’d like to nap (of course also taking into account their usual habits) those who do are taken to the...

@paphoshotels99 I did the early taking cara babies too! Glad the post helped. From my experience, I would gradually shift bedtime to later. And I would pick an ideal wake up time for your family and try to stick to it even if it just means opening all the blinds and letting the sun in. Give...

@goodtunesftw Always go with your little one's unique cues and needs! All kids are different and, for me, it's just about having the tools to make any necessary adjustments that work for everyone.

@rgalloza Oh! I think what you're asking is if he can sleep 5 hours on your wife, but 1 hour on his own, how is that "enough" sleep? And i'd say pay attention to how he is when he wakes up. If after an hour he wakes up fussy and crying, he could probably use more sleep (assisted by breastfeeding...

@rgalloza I don't suspect it will change that rapidly, however I would recommend discussing your current set up with who ever will be caring for your son when you're back at work. For me, it was my mother and she's pretty comfortable with babies so she was able to get him to sleep in her own way...

@rgalloza I want to preface by reminding you that your son is SO young. Technically still in what’s called the fourth trimester, so it’s very very developmentally normal (and healthy!) for him to sleep better, and more soundly when he’s near/on his mother (and you!). Her body regulates his...

@curlygirl01 That's a great question - I still use the sound machine and make it pretty dark for bedtime. I feel like my son got used to it and it makes the space feel calming, and he knows that it's a sleep space. I think if it's technically nighttime/bedtime, you can make it dark and soothing...

@writerssecret Not directly, I don't think though I believe following Possums encourages longer/deeper stretches of sleep so it becomes easier to put them down.

@katrina2017 For us, yes we can. It’s so hard to remember when exactly we were able to do this but I want to say maybe somewhere in the 4 to 6 month mark. He almost never sleeps on me anymore. I nurse him to sleep or his dad rocks him. We can both put him down and he stays down for an hour and a...

@mattymatej Remember that Possums is all about paying attention to your baby's cues. If your little one is crying, it's possible you missed some earlier cues that they were ready to drop off for a nap. I definitely help my son nap, either with the boob or his dad rocks him, or he sleeps in the...

@kenzytop Depending on how old your baby is, I would highly recommend buying the video. I think especially if you're little one is under 6 months it's so worth it. Personally, I think it's fine if your baby needs you to rock him to sleep. My son has been nursed to sleep, rocked, worn on me or my...

@winniectw Good luck! And yes, personally we feed on demand. Eat play sleep didn’t work for us because breast milk is naturally perfect for helping them sleep.

@honeybear418 The ring sling is my favorite. So easy to take anywhere, looks cute (whether baby is in it or not) and you can use it in a bunch of different ways. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth it. Sensory activities for us always revolve around water, dirt, and the outdoors...

@faerychild DMing you!!
