Is that normal? My older daughter we would put her down and she would be in the exact same place hours later, even once she could roll/crawl/etc. so it seems crazy to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-transitioning-away-from-the-snoo#post-2922638 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 19:43:54 +0000 MoonMoon 2922638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or in general from swaddling.</p> <p>We rented a Snoo for DS who is almost 4 months old. We used it from day 1 and he's responded to it really well. He sleeps in it fantastically at night - usually sleeps 4-6 hours, wakes up once to nurse, then sleeps another several hours. He doesn't sleep in it as well during the day, but that's probably because we don't put him down as consistently and have as much of a routine as we do at night.</p> <p>Lately I've wondered about transitioning away from the Snoo but I'm scared! When I do as they suggest and leave his arms out of the swaddle, he startles awake really easily. When he fusses, he doesn't soothe himself back to sleep yet, a pacifier works sometimes, but the rocking and white noise of the snoo is the only thing that really works. </p> <p>What was your experience and how long did the transition work for you? </p> <p>Any suggestions for swaddles for older/bigger babies welcome too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-laundry-room-baby-room#post-2922091 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:51:30 +0000 winter_wonder 2922091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Am I insane to consider making our tiny laundry room (6ft x 5ft) into baby's room? We have 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs. I was thinking of having baby in our room in the halo for the first 1-2 months and then possibly put a crib in that laundry room space? The other alternative is to put baby in DD's room (age 5) after she moves out of the halo. But, I worry how that will go, especially since DD is a terrible sleeper and wants ALL the lights on. What shpuld we do?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-month-old-sleep#post-2920609 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 15:23:04 +0000 MrsJBeeG 2920609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a question for more knowledgeable moms. </p> <p>My baby girl has been a great sleeper. Started sleeping 10 hours regularly around 3 months old (like 6 nights out of 7) and no 4 month sleep regression. She’s 5 1/2 months old now. But the last two nights she’s been waking up every 3.5 hours really upset. I change her diaper, she eats a few ounces and try to limit interactions to that. She goes back to sleep and then wakes up about 3-3.5 hours later. She does have a bottom tooth coming in - I can see and feel the edge of it. </p> <p>Is ger sleep being affected by this teething or is she just having a sleep regression later than most? And ideas of what I should do at night while it’s like this so I don’t lose my amazing little sleeper? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-after-30-min-to-1-hr-why#post-2914383 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 21:10:10 +0000 foodiebee 2914383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know we're all dealing with coronavirus stresses and maybe baby sleep is the last thing on everyone's minds, but we're at a loss and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for this.</p> <p>Our 10mo DS has yet another ear infection. He has about three days left on his current antibiotics. Naps are averaging 2 - 2.5 hours most of the time. We really try to stick to wake windows a lot. His sleep got thrown off at night with the infections, but he is sleeping through the night until 6 a.m. again now. Bedtime is 7-7:30. However, in the past week at least, he's started this habit of waking about 30 minutes to an hour after going to bed -- and screaming his head off. Just absolutely losing it. One minute he's asleep and the next he's sobbing. We've tried letting him CIO with pop ins but the popping in seems to only make it even worse and he will just scream and scream until we relent (we don't know if it's because he's in pain with his ears and we don't want to leave him in that state for a long cry). We go in and pick him up, calm him in our arms, and once he calms down he settles and falls back asleep super quickly, but it's like he needs us to calm him. He can't (won't?) do it on his own. After that he'll sleep through the night, and any future wakings that happen, he's able to put himself back down.</p> <p>We're at a loss as to what's causing the wake up -- is he in pain from his ear? A nightmare? A bad habit picked up from all these weeks of unending ear infections? I've read that it can be because of poor napping, but now that we've been home with quarantine we've actually got a pretty good nap schedule going and he seems to be doing well with it, minus random off days. Any thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddling-and-sleeping-baby#post-2917948 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 19:09:42 +0000 MrsJBeeG 2917948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Am I going to have to swaddle my baby until she’s a teenager? I asked this question today. </p> <p>All kidding aside - would love to hear others experiences to know what I may be seeing. DD is a doll. She is not a screamer (exception of reaction to her shots), doesn’t fuss that much, eats well and has been sleeping well - no swaddle necessary from weeks 3-9. We feel fortunate ate to have this sweet and mellow girl. </p> <p>But .... since sometime last week - she will not go to sleep as easily and if she falls asleep by herself (which she did and soothed herself before last week), she ends up jerking her little arms and waking herself up and then fusses. So I’ve been having swaddle her to keep those arms in close so she sleeps. But as soon she works an arm out (which she does at some point whether it is 10minutes or four hours) she wakes up and fusses. </p> <p>Any idea what is causing the change? I assume she is more aware of her arms and movement and that’s part of it. Shes a strong little gal and doing well with movement even though she was born 4 weeks early. </p> <p>Any idea when she might settle back into better sleep without swaddling? Ie gets co trol over her arms or stops moving them as much during sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dropping-the-swaddle#post-2915017 Wed, 06 May 2020 08:37:37 +0000 Clementine12 2915017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is time to stop swaddling DD - she's been in a Halo swaddle. A few nights one arm out went fine.last night 2 arms out was hilariously awful. She chattered to herself all night and any time i put a pacifier in she tried to grab my hand to swing it around and play with her. She quickly pulled the pacifier out to play with it.</p> <p>Ugh bad sleep night. She seems pleased about it.</p> <p>What do i do? Is this temp so let it be? Not ready for 2 arms out? She's rolling over during the day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/owlet-review#post-2913851 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 12:35:06 +0000 Bmaja 2913851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just placed an order for an owlet smart sock 2- ouch for the price. If any mama’s out there can give pros and cons I would be appreciative - I’m due in a couple weeks with our 2nd. I don’t feel I would have normally purchased one, except in the time of Covid it feels like it is worth it... we used to have a motion sensor for under the mattress with our monitor (voice only) but it was unreliable and turned off after a few false alarms.

We’ve tried the Halo Bassinest, a co-sleeper in our bed and I even rented the Snoo for a month out of desperation. Nothing has worked. She tends to spit up laying on her back so we elevate everything we’ve tried but she still seems so uncomfortable in that position. She will grunt loudly and cry after awhile, so it’s harder on us and no one ends up sleeping. </p> <p>We resorted to holding her for naps and overnight because we were so sleep deprived. It’s not a long term solution but I’m not sure what else to do at this point. It’s the only way any of us can sleep and I would rather have her nap in my arms than not sleep and be fussy from being overtired. I have another child that needs help with remote learning and I always feel like I can never get anything done because I’m either holding a sleeping baby or trying to get her to sleep. Luckily my husband is working from home and here to help, but one of us is always stuck holding her. </p> <p>I feel like I’m developing anxiety over this because I can’t even get a small break while she’s sleeping because most of the time I’m in an uncomfortable position on the sofa holding her while she sleeps. In between laundry, cooking, cleaning and homeschooling the first one, I’m exhausted. We do wear her in a carrier but ideally I’d really like to just be able to put her down. I know you can’t spoil a newborn but I feel like she’s definitely getting used to being held all of the time and I’m worried we’re setting up poor sleeping habits. </p> <p>Tips? Advice from anyone in the same situation? Thanks for reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ollie-swaddle-or-miracle-blanket#post-2909242 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 10:03:09 +0000 Shantuck 2909242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm expecting baby #3 and was a huge fan of the Miracle Blanket swaddle with my first two babies.

So far it’s been upstairs by 4:15 or 430 and she will sleep for 30 mins but not going to sleep until 7pm with me doing the toddlers routine.</p> <p>I would do her bedtime first but I nurse her and she WILL NOT nurse with toddler around as she’s so curious(previous post). </p> <p>Bedtime suggestion? Time for baby to go down?</p> <p>Tonight I put her down for last nap at 5pm but she fell asleep around 530pm and slept until 6pm. I nursed and started bedtime routine at 630pm and put in crib at 7pm. She has been crying off and on- I went in offered pacifier, pat and shush but she spits out pacifier etc nothing working. </p> <p>Anything is helpful thank you!</p> <p>oh and nights I am by myself- DH works late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-month-old-sleep-and-sleep-training#post-2903600 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 15:47:46 +0000 LadyDi 2903600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone talk to me about sleep training. This is my 3rd child and I didn’t really have to consider this for the first two. </p> <p>DS3 will be 5 months old on Wednesday. Prior to 4 months he was STTN and his naps were pretty good. Mostly around 30 minutes and one big nap (1-2 hours) in the afternoon. Since the 4 month sleep regression his naps are never longer than 25-30 minutes and it’s obvious he’s still tired. As soon as I pick him up he’ll fall back asleep but the second I put him back down his eyes pop back open. </p> <p>At night he goes to bed between 7:30-8 then he’s usually up every hour on the hour until 11 or so, then I’ll feed him and he usually sleeps until 4am, I’ll feed him again and he sleeps until 6:30. </p> <p>The nighttime schedule isn’t awful and I don’t kind a MOTN feed if he needs it, but it’s very obvious to me that he can’t self soothe back to sleep. Especially for naps. So, is 5 months too young to sleep train? I use white noise and he’s still swaddled. I know I need to cut the swaddle out too. How do I do this? I don’t want it to escalate to the point that I can never put him down at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-questions-3-month-old-sleep-pacifer-merlin-magic-suit#post-2903465 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 01:11:30 +0000 cake2017 2903465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three month old will not stay asleep once I put her down in crib at night ONLY. </p> <p>I got one hour last night and I am up right now in her nursery cause she won’t settle. </p> <p>She periodically has a pacifier for when she is fussy and family is watching her.

Flash forward to now and I am pregnant with #3 and am trying to figure out how I am ever going to sleep again after the baby arrives without the RNP. I've read that the Dock A Tot is also unsafe. I was considering renting a Snoo but wasn't sure if that was really the answer to my prayers. Just wondering if there are any great options for unsupervised sleep (there seem to be plenty of fine options for supervised sleep but that's not really what I'm worried about).

My DS is 10 weeks old and struggling to nap without his swaddle at daycare. Poor LO has the sniffles and a cough, too (I think it's daycare crud; no fever), which isn't helping, but he's super struggling to sleep without a swaddle. He wakes up within minutes of being put down, sleeps maybe an hour a day cumulatively, and comes home EXHAUSTED. </p> <p>He's in a temporary place right now, moving to his regular school and classroom next week, where they'll use white noise and a dark room plus get them all on a schedule, which will help, but still no swaddle allowed. They tried the Nested Bean weighted swaddle (did nothing; that "weight" is really light?!) but currently use his Halo Sleep Sack with his arms out. Any tips that you used for your LO if they struggled with this, too, or do we just have to wait it out until he's old enough to be comfortable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wants-to-sleep-on-me-at-night#post-2894591 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:54:18 +0000 cyoung 2894591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My other two were not like this.

God I'm hoping it's not hours :-( </p> <p>I was staunchly anti-CIO but my 2nd son (5.5 months, we will wait til 6m) CANNOT fall asleep independently and our whole family is truly suffering. We've tried everything. My 1st son was able to fall asleep on his own and was a dream sleeper- I nursed him to sleep for 15 months and it wasn't a problem. Not so with DS2! So I think we need to do the Ferber method.<br /> He really escalates. We've let him Fuss It Out up to 15 mins and he gets absolutely hysterical. I am dreading CIO but I am desperate and we owe it to him to stop the sleep associations (either nursing or holding him). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-month-old-night-sleep#post-2890548 Wed, 10 Jul 2019 12:05:57 +0000 Umbreon 2890548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is 3 months old, and sleeps at most on average a four hour stretch. He has done 6 hours before, so I know he can do it. I'm wondering if there's any tips on how I can get him to sleep longer. Could it be that he's cold? He never feels cold, but maybe he has a chill? He sleeps in a long-sleeved sleeper, with a 1 tog sleep sack. I need to buy him a new sleep sack, because he's starting to outgrow it. Maybe I should get something warmer? Our bedroom is usually around 22 or 23 Celsius. I don't think he's too warm because he's not sweaty.</p> <p>The other night he slept 5 hours, when we forgot to plug in the night-light. I tried keeping the room darker the next night, but it didn't work. So maybe it was a fluke. We are keeping the room darker now though.</p> <p>Or is it normal that he's only sleeping 4 hour stretches? At his two months doctor appointment, the doctor said he should be able to sleep 5 hours. I'm afraid that it is next appointment in a month, if his sleep hasn't gotten better, she's going to make me feel bad!</p> <p>But also when he sleeps 5 plus hours straight, I feel a lot better in the morning with more energy too. So it would be nice if I could get him to sleep at least five hours, six would be amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-sleep-anywhere-but-on-me#post-2889389 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 14:14:26 +0000 foodiebee 2889389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Bees! My LO is 2 weeks old (🎉🙌😁) and I’m hoping you can give me some advice on sleep. When we came home from the hospital, he was cluster feeding literally all night, so I never put him down. Now that he’s 2 weeks old, he’s sleeping pretty well at night, but he refuses to sleep anywhere but on me or DH (mainly me). It’s not only exhausting bc I’m not resting fully, but I’m terrified of SIDS. If we put him in the bassinet (pack and play), swing, pack and play “napper”, dock a tot...nothing works. He lasts about 5 minutes tops and then starts squirming. Full on crying starts within a minute or two. I have to pick him up and nurse him all over again, ending with either letting him sleep on me or trying again for the bassinet, which is just an awful cycle. </p> <p>What can we do to get him to sleep anywhere else, or is this normal? He’s also small (6 lb 13 oz at his last checkup a few days ago), so I feel like the bassinet is too big for him, but maybe I’m grasping at straws.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-they-can-pull-to-stand-amp-cant-get-down#post-2888504 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 21:48:03 +0000 ALV91711 2888504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 10 months next week. We have previously done sleep training for him to go to sleep in his own and early wake ups with success. </p> <p>We now have a new problem with him being able to pull up the last couple weeks but he doesn’t know how to get down. </p> <p>The last two nights he has woken up about 2 hours after going to bed and stands and screams. I tried to just lay him down and leave but he is up again by the time I’m at the door. We’ve ended up just rocking him which I’m not that ok with. Once or twice yes, but I don’t want this to turn into a long term thing. </p> <p>We are going away in two weeks and I was going to night wean/sleep train when we got back. Do I just hope he can get down by then??</p> <p>You bees always have great knowledge &amp; ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-week-old-not-napping-well-normal#post-2888261 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 08:49:51 +0000 paigeface 2888261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously feel like a brand new mom again even though I have done this once before! Our DD who's 5 weeks is not napping well during the day suddenly. She naps a little better if I have her in the living room with us (my son and I) where all the noise is or if shes in my arms. As soon as I put her in the room in her bassinet swaddled with sound machine and shusher she wakes up exactly 20 mins later every. single. time. It's frustrating because when we go to bed she does the same thing and I am ready to sleep before she wakes me for a night feed! Is this a normal 5 week old thing? Sometimes she just seems restless even at night. We ended up switching her formula to sensitive and using probiotic colic drops per the pediatricians advice and that helped with a lot of the gas and fussiness but man I would like to put her down or have her nap in her room so I can get things done! I am just forgetting that this is how it is at this stage? </p>
