Yay questions!

1. What was the best gift your child received? I got baby h the piano gym several of you have mentioned and he loves it!!

2. What was your favorite holiday moment? Christmas morning my three year old saw his stocking and exclaimed, "Santa remembered!!!"

3. What are your plans for new years eve? None so far except we might drink some sparkling wine.

4. Have you started solids yet? If so, how did it go? I want to wait till at least 5 months or whenever he shows more signs of readiness.

5. Has your child been sick yet this winter? Yeah, head cold.

6. Has anyone done sleep training yet? If so what method? Has it worked? I'm sort of aiming for setting him down drowsy but awake to teach self soothing, but right now with the regression I've just got to get some sleep.

7. Do you plan on sleep training? I won't do cry it out. This time, I will try to be better about being consistent with pick-up put-down or another non crying option.

8. What was the best gift you received?
Can I be horribly sappy? My three year old said baby H was a gift and he was right. This time last year I was like three weeks pregnant and full of worry and apprehension. Now, I have a sweet and beautiful baby. I really can't ask for more.

1. What was the best gift your child received? Lol we went overboard with gifts! I don’t know which one was the best. I think at the moment I will say his teething toys.

2. What was your favorite holiday moment? 2 moments.. DS1 finally understands Santa, so the look on his face when he came down was awesome! Baby H watching his brother open presents. It was cute because he was smiling the whole time!

3. What are your plans for new years eve? My parents are coming New Year’s Eve and staying for New Year’s Day. My ILs will be over New Year’s Day as well. I am looking forward to champagne. I didn’t get to have any last year due to you know being pregnant. Aside from one and LITs, champagne is my absolute favorite drink!

4. Have you started solids yet? If so, how did it go? No, but we could institute them. We waiting until closer to 6months with my first and will probably be the plan this go around. He seems interested in what we are eating, but I don’t know if I want to start.

5. Has your child been sick yet this winter? Omg yes, both of them twice. It sucks. I know RSV and bronchitis is going around so I am nervous about the baby.

6. Has anyone done sleep training yet? If so what method? Has it worked? Not yet, our pedi said I still might have to keep one feeding only because of his age. I do plan on sleep training. DS1 we used a customized version of Ferber. It was hard, but it worked in 5 days. I don’t know if I’ll do that again or try a more calming or noncry training.

7. Do you plan on sleep training? Oh crap — see above.

8. What was the best gift you received? Non materialistic gift, being able to sleep until 10 every morning since my DH has been working from home. He will take the baby after he wakes and I nurse. He also gets DS1 when he wakes too. It’s been great!

Actual gift — full year unlimited spa packages. I’ll keep him a little longer! 🙃

I see this now. I am not as well researched as you. I have been listening to the podcast and haven’t read the book. I didn’t know there was two plans. I only know about SLIP. So I guess that one

And the slip helped you be able to put her down drowsy? How is bedtime going and night sleeping?

Maybe “knowing” less is better. I feel like I’ve read too much and feel overwhelmed with options.
