EDIT: 3 days per week (M-W)
Wanted to see if anyone had any reccs in the area for a daycare for our 3mo+ for Mondays and Tuesdays per week, if possible. Pricing would be great too if anyone would be comfortable disclosing that. We’re specifically in duluth
It just doesn’t feel sustainable for a whole month. My wife and I try to do shifts but it’s still so brutal even if we each get 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Any tips that has potentially helped your newborn sleep even a little better/longer through this time?
So as of right now, we don’t do anything sleep train related to be honest. We go off her cues during the day and thus have pretty inconsistent daytime naps because she has a lot of short naps. Though I will say they probably total about the same hours which sounds like the important part?
Here’s where we currently are for night though. When she goes down around 9:30pm she sleeps until around 1:30am or even (rarely) 2:30am (4-5hrs). From there, we bottle and she goes back to sleep from around 3am to around 5am (2hrs), and then another bottle and then asleep from 5:30am to around 6:30am (1hr).
So to my understanding the 7-8 hours per night is obviously not sustainable as she gets older, but I assume it’s been doable for us since her naps have been totaling longer during the day for her age.
Is there anything we can do to encourage the same-ish 9pm bedtime once she’s ready at around 4mo+ if she’s already kind of associating her bedtime to be there with that first longer stretch currently?
It would really work for our schedule if she was 9pm to 8am. Wanted to see if anyone has a similar schedule and could share their day nap times so that we can get a rough idea of how to space them out as she lessens her total day naps.
We’re approaching 12 weeks this Sat so mainly looking to mentally prep. For night, she already sleeps a solid 4.5 hours from 9pm to 1:30am (sometimes 5 hours). Then the following two are 3 hours (rarely the third is 2 hours). Wakes up around 7am.
Our days for her are kind of all over the place because of how short her naps can be - and then feeding her on demand. But yeah, over the last few weeks, no matter how different each daytime nap schedule felt, I guess in total she was getting the same amount of naps by the time 9pm rolled around? Since the night time sleeps have been very consistent with the 4.5, 3, 3 for actual sleep.
So my question is, if our daytime schedules can’t be consistent as far as when she naps, due to her sleeping so lightly, will ST still work for night time, if we keep the night consistent at least? My assumption is yes because she is doing pretty good already but also that though it may work, it probably won’t work as fast as if we were to be consistent for the daytime too?
Anyone have experience having sleep trained their child with nap times being all over the place for the daytime?
I’m mainly talking about the ones that swerve between lanes with ninjas, etc. And then they go and get in a wreck, and their bikemates are like “rip keep riding in heaven bro” without any regard to the other injured people that the biker caused a pile up with.
