@lemar349 You’re going to get downvoted to hell I’m sure, but your 2nd to last sentence is absolutely true for a baby that old barring medical/growth issues. The vast majority of older babies do not NEED to be fed multiple times overnight. Either they are snacking all day long and therefore not...

@sungw This is a huge reason why I hate the baby phase. The first year they are constantly changing. The second you think you have something down, they need to drop a nap, they need their schedule adjusted, they’re tackling a new milestone, they’re teething, etc. Once my first dropped to 1 nap...

@mazince514 I would increase the frequency of feedings during the day as well as the volume. 6 oz a bottle at the least, 5-6x during daytime hours. Some babies may need an overnight feed at 6 months still, but 4 seems excessive and would lead me to believe he isn’t getting enough calories during...

@lilbrenda I prefer the actual clippers which is an unpopular opinion, but I’m also a STM and have gotten good with them. Most people like the electric file for babies.

@pattimayo I didn’t have a c-section for either of my births and this sounds like a complete nightmare to me. I would never go back to work after 2 weeks in any circumstances. Even being a STM and knowing what I was doing this time, it’s still so hard the first few weeks and even months, and...

@happilyretired Trader Joe’s frozen hash browns are really good whenever you can’t get them from McDonald’s

@greg32 Mine never really napped longer than 2 or maybe 2.5 hours once he was a month old, so I didn’t really have to. I would wake personally if it had been 3.5 hours since last feed.

@gym_class_hero The first thing that’s going to consolidate night sleep is shifting calories to daytime. Both my kids were eating about 24 oz a day in the 12-13 daytime hours after 2 months and naturally started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks. Once they started consistently sleeping a...

@christbearer95 Shift calories to daytime as much as you can. Make sure baby is having a full feed and not a snack at least every 3 hours. Once you know they’re eating enough during the daytime hours, respond to overnight wakeups by trying to soothe in other ways instead of immediately offering...

@rabidrant Bedtime is too late. And yes, personally I would tend to say doing things like letting the child fall asleep first with you then be transferred creates that expectation for them and does not foster independent sleep. For a child that old I would do straight up CIO because check ins...
