@cuteness20 I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for but I have loved these ones. No clips, and so much easier than any other nursing bras tbh: https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-nursing-2pk-pullover-seamless-sleep-bra-auden-8482-white-mauve-m/-/A-81408739 I’ve been eyeing this one but...

@kamonlas This! Love this advice and outlook

@candy7 Naps are going great ever since we dropped to 2 naps. We started off with 3 hrs total day sleep on 2.5/3/3.5 and 3/3/3 and this week I’m attempting 3/3/3.5 for 2.5 hrs total day sleep. Each nap I wake her up at 1 hr and 15 min. She used to only wake up for 1 night feed, about 7-9 hrs...

@john127 Usually 40-60 min. She cries on and off and looks like she’s trying to fall asleep but overall she doesn’t.

@john127 Yup! Falls asleep independently for bedtime and naps. Her last feed of the day is 35 minutes before bedtime.

@john127 Hmm okay. If she’s having night wakes do you recommend anything to help other than schedule change? The only other option seemingly is to apply a sleep training method during them. It’s just strange that the wakes started randomly and on an age appropriate schedule

@poorelectron Oh that makes sense! On 3 naps we maxed out around 2.25/2.25/2.5/2.5, and we dropped a nap a week before 6 months because her naps were getting shorter and she had early wakes. Right now day sleep has been 2.5-3 hrs so maybe she needs only 2 hrs of day sleep because her nights...

@batti3004 Makes sense!

@abcdeg Hmm interesting. I’m starting to suspect that my baby is similar to yours - on the lower end of daily sleep needs. Thanks for your help!

@abcdeg Thanks for sharing! Can I ask if you purposely went to those wake windows due to sleep issues (short naps, night wakes, etc.)? Or baby just naturally didn’t want to sleep before then?

Basically title.. Tried 2.5/3/3.5, 3/3/3, and 3/3/3.5 but the night wakes are still happening about 50% of the time with no pattern that I can tell :/ I’m trying hard not to fall into reverse cycling with feeds. Naps are good though ever since we dropped 2 nap schedule. Wake time 7:30am...

@mardbein Same here! Haven’t used it yet due to moving but I’m excited to open it soon. Grandparents all chipped in for it since it’s quite pricey. Also lift the flap books are always a hit.

@wrshamblinjr Very good point - I honestly only did it with stuff that was safe, like chopping up veggies, pouring in ingredients for soup, stuff like that!

@ptimhoff I highly recommend the book Precious Little Sleep. Lots of good tips in there. Unfortunately you may be stuck in a cycle of overtiredness, making it hard to get him to sleep. Does this usually happen in the later afternoon/evening? Usually that’s when overtiredness hits hard and is...

@wrshamblinjr When I used to baby wear I would cook, do East laundry tasks that didn’t require bending down, and just tidy up :) I don’t mean to be judgey at all, but I feel like dusting near baby isn’t a good idea but I could be wrong.. just wanted to mention that. But I guess it also depends...

@ptimhoff Sorry if I missed this somewhere but have you offered a pacifier? Seems like he wants to suck for comfort. It will be a little while longer likely before he can suck his hand or thumb - every baby is different but for mine it’s come about when baby was like 2-4 months old.

@rdliid Do you think you could squeeze in a 20-30 min nap before leaving for the appt? I had a similar situation today and what I did was put her down for a nap 15 min early and she thankfully fell asleep, woke her up 30 min later right before we had to head out the door. You could even wake up...

@hotleatherworld Hmm maybe experiment? Try adding a little more wake time and a little less nap time. Could just be exhaustion tbh. But for 8.5 months old I feel like your first wake window could be longer - at least 3 hrs. Seems like your WWs are 2.75/3.25/3.75 so if you want you could try...

@zackjohnson922 Yup! That’s true. I just meant to get X-rays taken. I had my dental cleaning during pregnancy.

@misslou Independent play is a great skill to have baby work on! Give her a toy and see if she can be content staring at it, grasping at it, etc. Walking outside is also great. When my babe was 3 m I usually did a combo of tummy time, contrast images, walking around, independent play for a few min.
