Tapatalk updated and it took me wwaaayy to long to figure out how to start a new thread.


So here it is.

What are you're babies sleeping in now? Crib? Swing? Your bed?
What about clothes? What do they wear to bed.

[melody330]

B sleeps in his crib in his room. We ditched the MM suit about two weeks ago. Now he wears a sleep n play under his fleece long sleeve sleep sack.

I'm willing to try anything for better sleep. Give me all the suggestions!

[madamewaffles]

We are in the crib for nights, wearing the MM suit with a Carter's sleeper and overnight diaper underneath.

[comicSans]

Sleeping in the crib. He wears footie pjs, sometimes fleece, sometimes not, usually swaddled under the arms in a muslin blanket, then in a convertible woombie with arms out. Twice recently he's passed out before I got him wrapped so then I slipped him into the woombie and it didn't seem to make a difference.

[rungirlrun]

Crib in his own room. He wears footie pjs and the MM suit. I'm thinking about ditching the MM suit for a sleep sack. He sleeps ok but not great, and I'd love to get him out of it before he gets too addicted. But I'm scared.

[katelou]

Night time is the crib, a sleeper + MM suit.

Naps are a disaster and mostly in my arms. Every now and then I stick her in the RNP or car seat and get approximately 5-20 minutes before she realizes I'm not holding her and screams.

[comicSans]

Anyone giving a lovey of any type yet?

DS grabs anything within reach and when he nurses or naps on me he holds my hand or my shirt. He moves things off of his face now so I got him a little lamb blanket thing. He held onto it while I held him tonight, so I put him down still holding it, and he's still holding it now. Will be checking the monitor frequently for safety, but it's so cute to see him snuggle it.

My baby likes rubbing her face with her Taggies blanket, it's so cute. I haven't given it at bedtime, but if it becomes a comforting thing, I will. My older DD has never had any attachment to a particular toy or blanket so I kind of hope it sticks

[cavewmn]

Pnp beside our bed.

He sleeps in pjs usually with footsies and in a sleep sack.

Tried an overnight diaper last night. Not impressed so far. He was wet all up the back in the morning.

[ellebelle]

Irene sleeps in her crib in her own room. I put her in cotton footie pjs but may change to fleece as the weather gets colder. We dropped the swaddle a few days ago since she started rolling and now I put her in a sleep sack. We use white noise and keep the overhead fan on. No lovey yet and DD1 never took one but if Irene takes a liking to something we'll use it.

[willow]

L sleeps in his crib but he and I share a room. We have been in a warm up the last week or so, so he wears a cotton footie and a cotton sleep sack. When it cools down a bit, I will do cotton footie with fleece sleep sack, and eventually fleece footie with fleece sleep sack when it gets cold.

[prvc678]

E sleeps in either a long-sleeved onesie and socks or a cotton sleeper under the MM sleepsuit in her crib. I know other have said that the sleepsuit either didn't work or it's effects wore off, but it's been a godsend for us. Getting her down at night has been a challenge, but she usually sleeps well once she's down. That's all I'm going to say about her sleep because I know better than to go into specifics while things are going well. And I know how easily things can change.

ETA no lovey yet. I'm still too paranoid about anything extra in her crib. Although she does like her little A&A mini blankets to rub and suck on while she falls asleep in her car seat during our long commutes: m.kohls.com/product/prd-2569965/aden-by-aden-anais-2-pk-muslin-security-blanket.jsp?ci_mcc=ci&utm_campaign=EC%20BABY%20NON-APPAREL&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=77577594&CID=shopping15&gclid=CIzkp9HhldACFYF-fgodVcgFNg&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CLy_ydHhldACFQJ7fgodUfMEkQ

[rungirlrun]

Well I tried just a sleepsack and his first stretch was 30 minutes. I guess 30 minutes is better than 1.5/2 hours bc I didn't have a chance to get to sleep yet but still ugh. So back to the MM suit. I'm ok with using it but am terrified for when we have to transition away from it. I feel like he will never sleep bc his startle reflex will wake him up forever.

[Ray]

Still sleeping in the play pen until whatever wake up I decide in too tired and I pull him I to bed with us.

He wears a cotton sleeper, the sleep suit, and scratch mittens because his little hands get so cold.

Tonight has been better. Down by 7:30, a quasi wake up around 10 where I had to pop in the soother a couple times and then a full wake up now, shortly after midnight so I'm feeding him.

I feel like if I can get a stretch of uninterrupted three I will feel magical tomorrow.

[melody330]

He has been up every two hours on the dot. I'm really not sure how much more of this I can do.

Every day I feel like I think " this has to be the last day. Tonight he will sleep." And it never is.

[Susan0utLoud]

Travel crib in our room. She wears footie pj's, sometimes flannel sometimes not, and still loves her woombie. I finally had to stop using the newborn size woombie . Starts with paci in but will sleep without it easily.

We are def in the 4 month sleep regression and tonight we have been #blessed with tremendous gas. Fart already!

What kind of overnight diaper? I still use one on my 2.5 yo. Huggies is the only one that worked for him so I stick with it. I do have to size up in the overnight, otherwise it leaks sometimes.

[melody330]

I just bribed my big kid to stay asleep until his green light goes off with a lollipop. It goes off at 6 but he was up at 4:30 for the second day ok a row.

I want to crawl in a hole for an entire day and sleep.

[Ray]

Yeah.... Flint basically has been awake or squirming and fussing since 3. So I have been awake since three. And we had two wake ups between midnight and then.

Going to be super functional today...

[comicSans]

Speaking of overnight diapers...5:30 and baby was completely soaked up to his arm pit and down his leg. Not the first time he's overflowed, but probably the worst. Now he's in a cotton sleeper and a fleece sleep sack, and I changed his sheet. Oh and he's wide awake. Please go back to sleep...

[melody330]

I just use regular Luvsfor both daytime and night. B is soaked by the morning, but never leaked out of the diaper. Once I get him in size 3s we use pampers overnights. Huggies are always terrible for us.

[willow]

Yeah L is in size 3 and using pampers overnights. The diaper will be really full in the morning but hes never leaked out yet.

[glaze]

J sleeps in her crib in our room. I put her to bed in cotton footed pjs and she gets swaddled in a blanket still. If she's not swaddled she's constantly rubbing her face waking herself up so idk what I'm going to do about that.

Up for the day at 5 over here. We just moved over the weekend and I'm so tired I don't know how I'm going to function today.

This... is me. He used to fall asleep so easily for naps, too. Not anymore! As much as I thought I wouldn't be into sleep training, I think we will definitely be needing it for naps.

[jewelsofthenile]

Ds is still swaddled he has shown little interest in rolling but is starting to wiggle his arms out a lot and loves to suck his thumb. I may try some arms out swaddling and see how it goes. He usually in a cotton sleeper and a fleece swaddle because his room is one of the coldest in the house.

A sleeps in her MM suit with a cotton Carter's sleeper underneath. Her little hands get cold some nights but otherwise she is toasty. J had eczema and it looks like A does too so we found staying away from the fleece sleepers helps a bit. And she is also one who loves to have her hands on things. I am looking for a good lovey for her to see if she get attached, she definitely loves any soft blanket she can get her hands on.

[rungirlrun]

Why doesn't this baby ever go back to sleep after the 5am wakeup? And his brother is up at 6 crying for daddy. Sorry daddy left for work so I'm all you've got. Now go back to bed until your clock turns green. I may need to break out the candy like melody330.

[roccobabyk]

Candy bribes for life over here rungirlrun. I can usually get away with 1 m&m or something so it isn't terrible.

DS sleeps in the MM with nothing underneath usually. I may start doing a cotton sleeper under as it gets colder. He gets so hot if I put anything else on him. We still have him in our room in the cosleeper and probably will for awhile.

Upandup over night. I made sure to do it as tight as I could and it worked! FX that it will work even if he does a morning poop.

I have some of these on the way. Hopefully the overnightness + being a size up helps us. Reg Luvs and reg pampers size 2 leave me with too much laundry.
