    What happens to poor sleepers who aren’t sleep trained?

    @euthymios I think that is great when working out but I think this post means more with the kids that start waking every sleep cycle like 45min to 1.5 hours. Right after four months our kid started waking 6+ times a night. So I'm curious also with the kids that wake 4+ times a night consistently...

    How do night shifts work with a newborn?

    @perfectlove25 I could get away with pumping every four hours overnight for the first like 12 weeks. So you should pump and go bed and maybe for the first wake also pump. Then try to get a four hour stretch. You make the most milk like early morning so you def want to pump at like 3/4 AM and...

    My toddler doesn’t sleep well - he fell asleep tonight at 11pm and I feel so bad :(

    @paker He's just saying that bc you say yes. Say do u want a snack now? You have 5 min and then tooth brush and NEVER again he gets a snack. If he gets it one time.he knows now you'll give in. He doesn't know... You're the adult. He has to trust you. Right now he rules the show

    How can I tell my mom I don’t want her there for delivery even though she’s a L&D nurse?

    @tinash Yeah and try to see her side positivity also! I bet she is sooo excited for you after also struggling and feels she can be so helpful, so see it as a positive! But of course stick to your boundaries like I'm so excited to know you'll be here for me with questions etc but we want to just...

    Got an 'answer' for my "next level" velcro baby. I was too stressed while pregnant.

    @nazpastor A nurse said this to?! Wtf I'm a nurse. Report her. That's B.S. also at 14 weeks old it's a BABY and you are the mom and baby loves you.

    Why should I not let my baby “use me as a human pacifier”

    @mayfrancis Once they have teeth you can def brush them with water and and actually toothpaste so they aren't saying have baby drink water but rinse the teeth! So different than drinking the water ya know

    5am wake ups - is this just the norm for some babies?

    @eldersmith I did this too. It may mean staying the dark room laying down keeping it boring. We did it until 7 AM no matter what! Anything before 7 is middle of the night

    4 year old will not go to sleep and I am losing my mind

    @jonderdonk4 Def should try a later bedtime in general and I run my kid around from 7-8 pm to wear his ass out 🤣 we wrestle and everything. Then a few books and wind down. He's only 20 m and goes to bed at 830 and wakes around 745. I'm sure he just isn't tired yet

    "Cry it out" is not a well-defined term

    @rockhopper72 Agree. Even the term sleep training now is so broad and not well defined. Some ppl go full extinction and cio for 12 hours. Others do the step by step comfort until out.the door. It's so much variation

    "Cry it out" is not a well-defined term

    @trekdad99 Same here. I don't think ppl understand if they have a snuggler! Which I get. Mine thrashes and fights sleep in my arms. Does much better "crying it out" in his crib, with me there, patting butt or etc.

    Weekend fun w/toddlers

    @younggenius Yes I even started taking my 6 mo old out to kids classes or family brunch bc he can sit in a high chair. It is a lot of work , totally understand that - I'm a sahm, I think it takes time so having those weekends over time it will feel more normal. Once you start getting better...
