11 weeks old boy

O's daytime sleeping has gone to crap. We can no longer put him down for longer than 5-10 minutes without him waking up. Then he becomes very upset and overtired in the evening. He sleeps just fine in his crib at night and can even go down drowsy but awake but during the day it is a no go. And now he won't even sleep in the swing during the day. I don't understand what's so different between daytime and nighttime for him.

Not really
- QOTW: Any good plans/vacations for the second half of summer?
Unfortunately no. We wanted to go spend the weekend at one of the nice family resorts in Orlando (either Disney or another one) but the prices are so much higher this year than last year. I refuse to spend $1000 for a weekend 45 minutes from my house.

Does anyone else feel like they're baby doesn't have a tell for when they're tired? I swear Logan goes from happy, babbling away to full on meltdown without anything in between.

We have crappy day time sleeping too. I wish I could get some decent naps from them. Our evenings are starting to get better so fx the witching hours are coming to an end.

No big plans. My brother and his family are coming for two weeks in Sept for my cousin's wedding. It will be interesting to try to visit with our two 4 month olds and their 4 month old while trying to maintain some sort of schedule.

- Age/sex of your baby/babies? 8 weeks, boy
- How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss? Nothing until next week.
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything? Nope. I think we're going to switch him to his room soon. I just need to put up a gate so the cats aren't going in there at night and get a monitor. I'm so excited to get back into MY nighttime routine!
- QOTW: Any good plans/vacations for the second half of summer? No, I wish. MH doesn't have the vacation time and we don't have the money with all the delivery bills. We'll find some fun local stuff to do but I like to wait for all the fun autumn activities to start!

8 week old boy Just had his 2 mo WWC last week. Still just being a cooing smiling babbling sweetheart. Breastfeeding is going well. You think I would remember but I don't, when is the usual time you can ditch nursding pads. I am not there yet, still leaky on the non-fed from side. Also just the mere thought of nursing and I let down  Just took 2 of my boys to day camp today, I will start swim lessons for my preschooler soon. We are close to being done remodeling our new home, then we can move!! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

No scheduled appointments or anything. I swear DS sometimes tries to mimic the sounds we make, and it's the cutest.

Nope

We're going on a short road trip to a resort for a few days in August. My dad has a conference and got us the block rate. It should be interesting since we haven't slept anywhere else but at home with DS, and I'm sure our SUV will be packed to the brim.

sleepymonkey Naps and night sleep are treated separately in baby's brain, so they essentially have to learn to sleep twice 🙄 Allegedly, newborns can sleep anytime anywhere, but we don't experience that for the most part. To get a decent nap, DS needs to sleep swaddled with white noise in a very dark room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Age/sex of your baby/babies? 12w (tomorrow), boy
- How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss?
Nope. I'm hoping this week will be no calls or visits to the pedi. DS1 goes for his 30m well toddler visit on Monday. How did my baby get so big?!
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything? Nope. Night time sleeping is pretty good. Most days, he's down at 7/8p, up sometime between 2a and 4a for a bottle, then down to about 5a. I'm trying to figure out how to extend that to 6am for work but who knows. He woke up today at 4:45a to eat, dozed off at 5:30a and slept until just after 7a.
His naps are shit though and basically non existent. DS1 was the same way until the 4m regression when he developed a set pattern
- QOTW: Any good plans/vacations for the second half of summer
Nope. Back to work on Thursday for me!

sagen I had to wear them for 18 months with DS1. And I think it's only because I got pregnant so my supply dropped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

lastkiss That sucks about Logan not having any tired cues. DS kinda confuses me because he's yawny when he wakes up (groggy) and then yawns a lot leading up to his nap even though he's not actually ready to go to sleep. To double check, I'll carry him to a quieter, darker room, and if he's tired, he'll start nuzzling my neck and hiding his face. You may have to just watch the clock and track his awake time. The clock doesn't lie, so if he's usually good for 45 minutes but melting down after an hour, then that should help you determine when to start transitioning to his nap going forward. I know that's super hard with twins though 😕 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

cmb We have a 5ish AM feeding too, and then DS usually sleeps until 7:15. I read somewhere that the 5AM feeding is considered a "snooze button" feed and that it's tough to lose since it's so close to their normal wake time....oftentimes babies will protest by just waking up for the day at 5. Nope nope nope. Hopefully he'll just naturally get into a good sleep pattern that works for your schedule! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No appts until 4 months. The past 2 nights DS has slept a 6 hr stretch! Hoping this is going to continue because I go back to work tomorrow. We had to move him to the "floor" of the pack n play because he was 2 lbs from the max on the bassinet portion and it was sagging in the middle, that change was super interesting to him and took him over an hour to fall asleep last night. I think we'll have to start bed time earlier tonight... just in case that happens again.
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything?
Any tips on keeping up BM supply when transitioning back to work? I have a decent freezer stash ~60 oz, and I blocked off time to pump on my work calendar 3 times a day (mid morning, lunch, and mid afternoon). Anything else I should try to do?
- QOTW: Any good plans/vacations for the second half of summer?
No vacations, I saved some pto for the holidays so I can be home with DS but we don't have plans to go anywhere.
