sophiegrace no sttn here..maybe once or twice? We planned to sleep train earlier than we did with DS (14m), but since N is a peanut, I don't feel comfortable in case she's actually hungry. She used to fall asleep on her own, but falling into nursing to sleep, oh well.

Y'all just made me feel so normal and further solidified my thoughts that most of these people of full of shit.
waitwhat I think at this point M's will is stronger than mine when it comes to CIO. 😂
There's definitely something weird going on with her right now keeping her from getting into a deep sleep for the first few hours. Between teething and the developmental explosion she's had in the past two weeks I can't really blame her.

Oh my goodness dashook!! I'm going to need H to make some Thai food this week now. It's been way too long.
ClassyMrsA that sounds fantastic! I wonder what I could sub in for the soy sauce. We have a grill, but I stay far away from it. Do not need to be that close to an open flame. I do a good enough job burning my food all on my own.

hangry a few hours ago I would have said no other signs of reflux, but I'm noticing a rash starting to appear over her face so maybe allergy/intolerance related. Or her sensitive skin is just being angry and there's no connection. I'm so clueless when it comes to all of this.
Like Sophie's M, I think AV will is way too strong for sleep training to be an option (at least that's my fear). Last Friday lunchtime (their log nap) I waited until they were both *just* about to go down and put them in car seats and planned to let them sleep while I grabbed lunch in peace and quiet.
She cried the. whole. time. (AB slept through this). She cried for over 50 minutes straight, absolutely not one break in crying - it just got louder and louder and louder until she was screaming as high as she could and I just couldn't take it and drove home. I pulled over about 5-6 times to check on her and she was fine, she was changed, fed, burped, paci... She just wants someone to hold her to sleep. Or at the very least H has to sit back there and hold her hand while I drive. Maybe I'm missing something and I should've done something else.
So I'm terrified of transitioning her. Its coming though. But for now Ill just take my sleep deprived cosleeping snuggles as best as possible.
Good luck hangry! waitwhat I am super jealous of your dinners. I'm starving but no eating until this baby is down, the bottles and pump parts are washed, and my coffee is set up for tomorrow morning. 😩
Btw I'm weak and put D back in her swaddle tonight.
I also fed her solids about an hour and a half before bedtime (sweet potatoes tonight!). Curious to see if either or both of these things makes any difference in her sleep tonight.

goldenlove3 I have coconut aminos! Never tried cooking with them though and feel pretty silly about it. I bought them to sub in for soy sauce while eating sushi. Bad choice. So bad.
ClassyMrsA thank you! I will be trying both the chicken and that sauce!
Good man remembering that wine waitwhat. Good man.
dashook I tried food about an hour and a half before bed as well instead of lunchtime. And don't think I haven't thought a million times about swaddling again. FX you both get some sleep tonight.
sophiegrace This is the chicken marinade. I marinated it for 1 hour, but you can do it from 30 min to over night. Mine was enough to cover 5-6 boneless skinless thighs.
2 tbsp of honey 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp of soy sauce (sub for you) 1 garlic clove, chopped Juice of 1 lime 1/2 of a bell pepper diced into little bits (it says red, I used orange) 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
tgrimes1980 and vinolove Thank you both SO much. I actually would like to do some sleep training even with AV. I just feel so clueless. Your suggestions are a good start to look into.

sophiegrace I think we tried the aminos once with a stir fry years ago but I couldn't tell you what it tasted like lol.
waitwhat I rejected H so many times lately so I finally gave in last night because I felt bad. But the other night I straight up told him he was ridiculous for trying because it was when he got back from his golf trip and acted like going to pick up dinner was hell. Then he was too tired to do C's bedtime because he was worried he'd fall asleep and drop the bottle on him or some shit.
My DH was looking for action last night. I totally turned him down. I hope my sex drive comes back one day. If I never had sex again I don't think I would have a problem with it. Weird.
