@anayat11011 I don’t disagree with anything you said! I didn’t mean my post to come off like I am against comforting kids having a hard time. Tantrum and meltdown are broad terms that can encompass a host of ages and behaviors. Responsive parenting means responding appropriately to your kid in...

@nserchoftruth Don’t just get a new pediatrician, let their practice know why and complain to the professional boards. Imagine going to a doctor for a physical and your doctor told you unsolicited and without any medical need that you should start intermittent fasting 16 hours a day and stop...

@pz128 Is she significantly undertired? I might be doing the math wrong but you are trying for 15 hours of sleep. The range of normal sleep in 24 hours is 12 to 15 hours. Perhaps she won’t sleep because she isn’t tired? https://www.thensf.org/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-really-need/

@ufekevom Baby sleep constantly changes so if she has been on a schedule for a month it might be time for a shift into shorter wake windows or less sleep overall. Your baby is absolutely not old enough to be independent btw.
