Hi all! I have a 14month old with whom I've been cosleeping every nap and every night since he was around 3 months old. He always nurses to sleep. For naps, I've noticed that he will sleep for 45min and then wake up, and I have to quickly and gently put him back on the boob so he can fall asleep for another 45min. It doesn't always work, and some days, naps are shorter. During the night, he doesn't usually have this problem, but he still wakes up a few times. The main problem is doing longer car rides. No matter how tired he is, he will sleep for a maximum 40min. Is this common with cosleeping? Is there anything I can do to help him rest more?

I know the not organic ones have been tested for high levels of pesticides, but how are we feeling about the organic ones? My 13 month old will eat raspberries every day (sometimes it's raspberries, rice and bananas. I offer soo many things but that's what he doesn't refuse) and we usually buy the Driscoll's brand. I just keep feeling guilty thinking that maybe even the organic ones are full of bad pesticides and I'm harming him in the long run.

We have a 13 month old with whom I've been cosleeping since he was around 3 months old. I love it so much (besides the back pain)! We sleep in the king size bed (we added railings so it's like a giant crib) and my husband sleeps in the guest room (he likes it and so do I because he snores). The problem is that baby never slept through the night and seems to wake up a lot more when I'm next to him (he's still breastfed). I always put him to sleep at the boob, around 8pm, then I sneak out and come back around 11pm -> he wakes up for the day at around 6am. He would always have a few wake ups during the night, screaming. Now he's been having a few days where he is wide awake between 3-4:30am(wants to cuddle), and then sleeps for 40min, wakes up, might sleep again and he's up for the day around 6. My husband keeps saying that he's not sleeping well because of me and that we should force him to sleep in his own room, alone. We have friends that did the cry it out method for both of their kids and they keep bragging about how well they sleep. I am against that method. I don't know if my husband is right, and I'm actually hurting baby's sleep or if it's normal for him to wake up so many times during the night (and have an hour long wake window).

Hello! This might sound like a very silly question, but how do I know what incline level to use the car seat? We have a Nuna Rava and a 13month old, 22lbs and 32inches. Thank you!
