@theotherstark: I just quickly did it on the mobile app... the screen shot is after I filtered 12 mo and footed sleepers.

@winniebee: glad to hear that R seems to be better!
@FaithFertility: that's great sleep! She must have had fun at dinner

@theotherstark: I was just thinking that. I was started to see bathing suits in Target this week. We still have 4 feet of snow on the ground!

@theotherstark: try childrens place. I can't believe he's sizing up to 12 months already. We are in 3-6 months very comfortably. You are going to have a very tall boy on your hands.

anyone else's kiddos getting harder to put down for sleep? J will be practically falling asleep in my arms but when I try to rock him in the chair or the RNP (just to get him a little more "drowsy") he acts super mad. I end up having to walk away and let him fuss/cry for a minute or two. He falls asleep quickly but it's still hard to hear
On the plus side though we pretty much had to do the same thing with M and we never had to sleep train because she had figured it out so young.

@MrsF: Naps or night time?
At night she is doing great, but naps during the day.... sometimes I put her down in crib or swing and she will be out then other times she will wake the minute I put her down, and will only sleep on me or DH...it is so hit or miss!
honeydew / 7283 posts
@FaithFertility: Naps are worse than night, but sometimes he has to fuss for a little bit to put himself to sleep for nighttime too. He gets so angry when I try to soothe him! Luckily it only takes him a minute or two to fall asleep and then he sleeps well.

@MrsF: funny babiee, maybe he just needs a minute or two to wind down! G will flap around in pnp a bit sometimes then out

@MrsF: YES! Nighttime last night was awful. DH held him for a good 2 hours. 2 hours! Also after night feedings, he's wide and just coos and talks. It's so cute but i'm like, "child, go to bed!" Finally at around 4:30am i brought him to bed because i couldn't continue rocking my almost 17 lb baby!

@winniebee: That's great to hear! Glad things are looking up for the little guy.
honeydew / 7444 posts
@theotherstark: Don't worry, i'm jealous too and i have a big baby. I think the longest stretch between feedings was 5 hours, but about 4 hours of sleep for me.

@Freckles: I'm guessing it's just a developmental thing. Maybe they're finally realizing that we're not in the room anymore?
I'm just glad that J will put himself to sleep after a minute or so of crying because I get worried about creating patterns as they get old enough to know what's going on.

Is anyone else contemplating CIO methods (to fall asleep, not for eliminating feeds) at this time?? I'm really starting to feel the effects of sleep deprivation...

@freckles: I'm not thinking full-fledged sleep training but I definitely let E fuss a bit more before going to her...whether it is putting down for naps, middle of what I know should be a longer nap, or MOTN. We are getting the shortest stretches of sleep since about 4 weeks! It's still 6hrs most nights but she had been doing 7-8 consistently (plus a couple longer!). I'm not sure what the deal is.
@mrsf: E is way more aware now. She will fuss when I leave and smile as soon as she sees me come back. I try not to make eye contact, but it's hard to ignore a cooing smiley baby usually I just plug in her pacifier and tell her (nicely) to go to sleep! Haha.
@winniebee: glad he turned the corner!

Since I missed yesterday's talk about bottles, we're doing 4oz 4 times during the day. Although there were a few days this past week where some were closer to 3 since I only pumped about 12 ozs. Anyways my inlaws, who she's staying with till daycare will take her in another week, suggested I start supplementing since she still seems hungry when she finishes a bottle. Thankfully, they said something to my husband not me. I mean she's sttn, so she can't be that hungry,
And crazy that some of you guys are ready for 12 month outfit! We're still in 3 months, although I can't imagine for much longer.

Ryan is still in 3m (3m tomorrow!) clothes and is 10.5 lbs a little peanut. But he's busting out of some of the 3 clothes and I've moved on to 3-6/6m in some brands. He drinks 3-4 oz bottles but is mostly breastfed and mostly takes top off bottles before bed so I bet he would do 4 oz if truly hungry.
He is getting so hard to put down at night. At first I thought it was his illness. But then I remembered his brother did this at 3m and that we started letting him fuss more at 4m. He can barely keep his eyes open so I put him down and he is awake 10 mins later. Repeat x2. I will wait til he is feeling better but will definitely start letting him fuss more before bed and naps. Mama don't got time to put him down for an hour.

I have a question for you ladies - what is your definition of "fuss"? Because a's fussing is more like crying!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
Fuss to me is not crying! Like that whining yelly stage.
And I will have to some kinda sleep training by 4 mo.. I was hoping K might magically fall asleep by herself/self soothe but no such luck She is only 12 lbs and change but my arm is dying!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
I'm just moving I to 6 month sleeprs.. She fits 3 mo but I don't like that when we hold her upright, the pants bunches up then her footie area gets tight and her toes are all curled up!
honeydew / 7444 posts
@snowjewelz: haha I thought he would magically start falling asleep on his own too! It sucks because he outgrew the swing at 2 months because it would squish his shoulders too much.
honeydew / 7444 posts
A is in 6-12 month sleepers. 6 month onesies are getting too snug, so I find the 9 month ones the best right now.
eggplant / 11861 posts
@Freckles: fuss to me is grunting/flapping around maybe a quick little yell, but no crying
eggplant / 11861 posts
I just told DH her 3 month pj's are donzo...lol the 3-6 are ok
I packed up a bunch of clothes just today.....already
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@Freckles: fuss to me is complaining. Squaking. Like "hey mkm I'm here come help! Mom. Mom?" Not full on crying.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@MrsF: @snowjewelz: So true! I didn't get back to sleep until close to 5:30, but at least I was able to sleep until 7:00. If it was during the week, I'd just be going to work early!
@theotherstark: They have 12m pjs on http://www.carters.com - just make sure you look for the 1 piece pjs and NOT the sleep and plays - those only go up to 9 months.
@winniebee: So glad to hear R is FINALLY starting to feel better!!
@MrsF: Yes - Logan has trouble falling asleep for the night. It's been a struggle the past week and takes 30-60 minutes to get him to sleep!
honeydew / 7283 posts
@Freckles: We're not doing full-fledged CIO because he still seems too young to me. Basically we try to put him down drowsy but awake. He almost always starts crying pretty quickly and we just say "ok - we know he's exhausted, he was falling asleep in my arms so we'll let him cry for 2 minutes or max" - or whatever seems like an appropriate amount of time. Then DH has to distract me while J settles himself down. He almost always stops crying in less than 2 minutes or has switched to just sort of protesting and we can tell he's winding down.
I don't really know what the alternative is because he won't settle in our arms unless we spend forever rocking him until he's totally asleep. I'm even less comfortable with that idea than I am with letting him cry. I figure I can't really expect him to learn how to put himself to sleep if I don't teach him. It seems cruel to rock him to sleep for months and then make a drastic change one day and let him cry for hours when he's old enough to know what's going on. I just figure we're doing things more gradually. This is pretty much what we did with M and we didn't have to sleep train. I know every kid is different though so I may be eating my words
honeydew / 7283 posts
I agree that "fuss" to me is more like complaining than crying. I have to be honest though - my kids escalate into crying pretty quickly and I'm willing to tolerate a few minutes of that too if it means learning to fall asleep. I think that the key for me is knowing how many minutes I'm comfortable with and looking at the clock.
This stuff is so hard and there's no right answer! DH is going to kill me because I was just having a major breakdown while J was crying for about 60 seconds trying to go to sleep. Now he's sleeping like an angel.

@Adira: he looks so grown up in that pic!! Such a cutie pie!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@Freckles: I'm still somehow hoping something will suddenly click for her lol. She is sucking her thumb currently but it gets her worked up renter then soothing!!
honeydew / 7444 posts
Okay, mine doesn't fuss for more than 1 minute. Then it is full on crying!
@MrsF: I agree with you. Sigh. I am currently trying not to nurse him to sleep. I'll nurse, then give bath...but he cries and roots like crazy. Last night I passed him to DH after nursing, and today I tried to resist but gave in. I think I may have to wait until he starts using his fingers to self soothe. I really wish he took a pacifier! With N I was able to rock her because 1) she wasn't a giant like her brother and 2) I only had to rock her for 5 minutes and I could put her down. I have been in his room for almost 40 minutes now!
honeydew / 7283 posts
@Freckles: there's nothing easy about this baby sleep game. I hope you get some rest soon!
pear / 1961 posts
Yeah I guess fussing to me just has a lack of...intensity? Like if she is moving and flopping around, maybe a couple squawks, maybe even some half-hearted crying or noise making. But nothing that sounds serious or very prolonged.
