@peacseekr Ugh the reflux struggle is so real! I don’t want to over medicate my son and I thought we had solved his reflux problem by switching to a hypoallergenic formula so I didn’t give him his 2 doses of Pepcid yesterday. Big mistake! The symptoms crept back slowly and by the time I realized...

@baodantri He does do a 3-4 hour stretch in the early evenings but I then have to play catch up with everything that couldn’t get done in the day because I was wearing/holding baby, so by the time I’m done with all that, I only have 90 or so minutes to try to nap. And by then baby is crying...

@candyluna I didn’t consider a sleep sack for myself! He did well in his bassinet the first 5 weeks, but he’s so long. He’s also almost at the weight limit for it so when he’s in it, he wiggles and gets smushed against the sides.

@candyluna Yes exactly how I sleep. My husband thinks me being cold is psychosomatic because even in summer I still need a sheet covering me for comfort. I’ll just have to deal with it.

@jan800 I’m definitely looking into it, thanks!

@roldjk28 That’s another reason (besides medical) why my husband doesn’t co sleep with us. We even slept separately while I was pregnant for that reason. I’m a very still sleeper.

@toomanythoughts Thanks for taking the time to offer ideas! My husband has a medical condition that prevents him from doing any night shifts. If he were to start losing sleep, it would exacerbate his condition and cause symptoms, so we have been sleeping separately (I’m in the nursery) since...

@benvi85 The 4 month sleep regression is brutal, but sleep gets so much better after! Unless they learn to roll early and then get stuck 😅

@jimdubu We’re only 8 weeks old right now.

@parad0xical When bed sharing, one is not supposed to have anything on the bed other than a fitted sheet. No blankets or pillows. I know myself, and I know that if I put a blanket on my legs, I would pull it up in my sleep so now I’m instead wearing 3 layers of pajamas and sweats.

@tinyfaith This is the crib we have: https://a.co/d/0u8C42v Is it unsafe?

@lizabethann Are you watching me?! Jk - I do almost all of this except the snoo and owlet sock. We tried the Sock and didn’t like it. The reflux has been resolved now that we have him on Alimentum, but yes we pace feed with Dr. Brown’s bottles and premie nipples in a side lying position before a...

@thomasleonard On a recent night, I put the full bottle in his mouth, blinked, and it was empty. I was so confused before I realized I was asleep while he ate the entire 4 oz and maybe sometime after. I have no idea how long he was sucking on an empty bottle. I felt horrible.

@pearlin I think I will try this, thank you! I already have a very similar routine. Wake, diaper change, eat, play, sleep. As soon as he yawns, I bounce or walk him to sleep to prevent him crying, but I’ll start trying to extend that play time.

@pearlin Ohhh! I’ve been just been letting sleep as long as he wants to throughout the day. Each time he finishes a bottle I start a stopwatch app on my phone. In general, after eating he is awake for about an hour and 15 minutes, so maybe an hour and 45 total if you include the diaper change...

@katrina2017 “This isn’t forever.” Is the mantra that is currently getting me through these very tiring days.

@charkati350 Reading it now!

@charkati350 Interesting! Since he keeps waking up in my bed, I might as well let him keep waking up in his own bed, right?! Our current plan is to soothe with pats and shushes for 10 minutes before picking up, calming, and putting back down. Wish me luck!

@baresi Give me another solution.

@malvikaadhikari He hates the car. He goes down easy, but definitely needs motion to stay down and my back is killing me from keeping rocking him back to sleep. And we can’t afford the snoo.
