[king26]

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they? We try bed between 8 and 830. Wake up time is usually around 7.


2. Do you have a goal bedtime? Yes, I'd like bedtime to be between 7 and 8 but am having trouble moving it.


3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one) currently it's 7 but I'm thinking I should have last wake up at 6.


4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby? Carter's. We have almost all Carter's clothes.


5. Do you have any teething toys? Please share! Yes we have sevetal. We have the baby banana toothbrush and he loves it. We also have the nuby keys that go in the refrigerator and he likes those as well.


6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share! No and we need one.


7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? Around 10 but I'm reading that after 3 months they really need more towards 11 hours. J slept 10.5 last night and has had better naps today.


8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it? Yes. I'd like to not use it but I'm not sure when to just put him in stroller. We have baby city mini and it says you can put baby in because it lays almost flat but...


9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? Not yet but I think we are going to have too. We are struggling but I don't know what method to use.


10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes? Size 2 diapers, size 3 months or 3-6 clothes


11. Be honest here...no judgemenys...do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? We've gotten in the bad habit of doing this early in the morning to get more sleep. Like around 5am. However it's been creeping even earlier and it's killing me.

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they?
No. She's in bed by 8, but sometimes it's 6:30, 7, etc. She wakes up between 5:30 and 7:30.

2. Do you have a goal bedtime? 7 or 7:30

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one). I'll let her nap until 5:30. Last nap starts at 5 at the latest.

4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby? Mostly Carter's because it's fairly cheap, washes pretty well, and fits her well.

5. Do you have any teething toys? Please share! Tons! She likes the Manhattan Toy Winkle at the moment.

6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share! We have the Fisher Price Space Saver seat. I love that it doesn't take up any extra space.

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? In one stretch? Currently maybe 4-5 hours. Total? About 10-11 or so. With 1-3 feedings and a couple extra wake ups lately.

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it? Well it's single digits outside right now, so we haven't used it. Our single stroller lays basically flat, so we could use that now. The double stroller we could probably use fairly soon. She's got good head control and sits well with support.

9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? Not yet

10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes? Size 2 diapers. 6 month clothes.

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? Yes, but not often. I don't sleep well with her. You do what you've got to do, though.

12. Any other questions for everyone? Nope.

[thinkchocolate05]

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they? 7-7:30 pm. He gets super cranky then and wants to be put to sleep. He usually gets up an hour or two later though.

2. Do you have a goal bedtime? 7 is fine.

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one) I've struggled with this too, bc he wants to take a catnap at 6 pm. That seems wrong for his bedtime but some of his best sleep has come after that.

4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby? Carter's!

5. Do you have any teething toys? Please share! He loves the Winkle, the rattle one with the colored tubes.

6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share! Fisher Price space saver that straps onto the chair

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? Usually 7 to 6 with several wake-ups

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it? Yes. Oh, I'm not sure. When he's sitting on his own and bigger. Maybe like 10 months?

9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? Not yet, other than putting him down drowsy but awake with paci if he doesn't go to sleep nursing.

10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes? Size 2. Mostly 6 m

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? No. With ds1 we waited to a year and will do the same with baby h. I am a deep sleeper, to the point that I sometimes don't know where I am when I wake up and I could easily roll on him.

12. Any other questions for everyone? I'm curious when everyone is starting solids but maybe that's a different thread!!

[jt2378]

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they? She usually is asleep at 8:30 and wakes when DD1 wakes everyone up, usually about 8:00.

2. Do you have a goal bedtime? I would like earlier but DD1 is at 8:00 and usually stalls so it’s impossible to get M in earlier.

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one) Naps are basically nonexistent in the last month so I take them whenever I can get them 😬

4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby? Baby Gap stuff is so adorable and Carters.

5. Do you have any teething toys? Please share! Nothing special, I’m going to take note on what y’all recommend.

6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share! Another vote for Fisher price space saver! The best, DD1 is just starting to not use it at almost 3.5

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? Total is around 11, some nights first stretch is 4 hrs, others it’s like 7. Those nights are the best.

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it? We never got the stroller combo this time around. I have one that she will likely be able to sit in soon but it’s frigid here so probably not for a couple months.

9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? None yet. Ugh my kids never seem trainable lol.

10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes? Size 2, 3-6 months, 6 months.

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? Yes, most nights.

12. Any other questions for everyone? Not right now.

thinkchocolate05 we tried oatmeal thinned with formula yesterxay. He wasn't sure about it. He had 5 tiny bites then turned awsy. We tried again today and same thing. I think we will keep doing oatmeal once a day until he gets the hang of eating with a spoon then move to purees.

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they? start bedtime routine around 6:30. He’s usually asleep by 7-7:30

2. Do you have a goal bedtime? I think this is good.

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one) 5

6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share! Not yet, need to look for one.

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? I have no idea. With his multiple wake ups, it’s hard to gage. But we are in the bedroom for 12 hours.

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it? I do when we are out, but recently put him in it without the car seat for a walk recently. He liked looking outwards and seemed to be fine.

9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? No sleep training here yet. I keep threatening it, but it hasn’t happened.

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? Far too often. I really need to break that, but sleep is so important.

12. Any other questions

[Deleted]

thinkchocolate05, we won’t start solids till closer to 6 months. He still doesn’t sit well unassisted. And I’m not ready to begin a new thing with him when we are still struggling so much in other areas.

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they? My alarm goes off at 6:30am during the week, but she’s usually ready to be up at 7am if I’m not moving.

2. Do you have a goal bedtime? I let her guide it, but it’s usually 6:30-7:30pm, depending on her last nap.

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? The last few days she’s been napping around 5:30pm (starts trying at 5 and then falls asleep around then). I’m ok with it, because I’m hoping a later bedtime will allow her to sleep through the night.

4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby? Baby Gap. We have a lot of Carter’s, too. And, I’ve bought some H&M for R. We didn’t start shopping at H&M until T was over a year.

5. Do you have any teething toys? She hasn’t really chosen to chew on toys. Mostly just her hands.

6. Do you have a highchair yet? We have a simple Safety 1st from T. We have a high table, so we were able to remove the tray and have her at the table until we switched to a booster. This is like an updated version, since ours doesn’t lean back: www.kohls.com/product/prd-2828907/safety-1st-dine-recline-high-chair.jsp

With T, some people on the BMB would say they’d put the baby in their high chair reclined with a bottle while the parents got ready in the morning. I could never do that with our high chair. So, that might be something to consider if you’re interested in doing that in the future. T also refused to hold her bottle even when she 1.

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? I think around 10 hours, excluding wakes ups.

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the stroller without it? We haven’t used the stroller recently. We’ve been talking about getting a convertible car seat soon since R is so big. Once we switch, then we definitely won’t use the bucket.

9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? Not really. But, I’ve not taken her out of the bassinet at night. She wakes up and is up for about an hour talking. I’ll leave my hand in the bassinet for awhile and keep popping the pacifier in.

10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes? Size 3 diapers. 6 month clothing.

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? I put her on my chest after 4am if I can’t get her to go back to sleep. Then she’ll sleep there until 6:30-7pm. I never did it with T. I won’t do it at all once she’s older. I’m not interested in sharing my bed with more people.

[bsouls]

We tried rice cereal this morning. R had absolutely no interest. I will try again after dinner, but I think it’ll go the same. I don’t think she’ll be ready until after 6 months. H bought rice cereal - I was going to start with oatmeal.

I told H I was thinking about trying, since old timers say it helps babies sleep through the night. I think it had more to do with babies sleeping on their stomachs and, that they hit the age where they were better sleepers.

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they? Not a set time but they are consistent in falling asleep between 8:30 and 9pm. Wake up time is from 7-7:30am.

2. Do you have a goal bedtime? I'd like them to be closer to 8pm but I don't really push it.

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one). They usually won't nap after 5:30 which seems fine given their wake up time.

4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby? Baby Gap and Carter's for every day. I also like Janie and Jack, Ralph Lauren, and Baby Cottons for specific items.

5. Do you have any teething toys? We have a bunch of rings, toothbrushes, etc. Nothing beats their hands.

6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share! We have the fisher price space saver for ds1 which worked well. We have a different one for the twins that's easier to clean (can't recall at the moment).

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? They STTN so anywhere from 10-11 hours usually.

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it? We typically use both carseats since we have a tandem stroller with the adapters. It's much easier than carrying the additional seat.

9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work? Thankfully the twins are really good sleepers. They make up for DS1; I tried everything under the sun with him - at 3 years old, he's only gotten a little better.

10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes? Size 3 diapers. Typically 9 month clothes.

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you? No they don't, but DS1 still does occasionally (hence my hesitation in bringing the twins to bed).

12. Any other questions for everyone?
No questions but to answer other questions we are starting oatmeal this week and beginning to introduce others the following weeks if things go well (they'l be 5 months tomorrow).
Also the twins love mirrors so we use them a lot.

[thinkchocolate05]

@starzia Baby h grins the biggest grin at himself in the mirror, but I'm pretty sure he thinks it's another baby. We have a similar one to what you posted.

1. Do you have a set bedtime and wake up time for the baby? If so what are they?
-yes and no. We try to get both boys to bed by 9pm. Sometimes it’s earlier, but most times it’s a little later. Ugh. Wake up for the toddler is 730-830am and 7am for baby.

2. Do you have a goal bedtime?
-Yes 830 and maybe even 8pm for the baby. It’s hard becuase my DH doesn’t get Home 7pm most nights.

3. What is the latest time you will let your baby nap before bedtime? (I'm having trouble with this one)
-I’m having trouble to since he doesn’t seem to care for naps! He has a nap in the am, a mid afternoon nap that sometimes goes until 430-5 and then every so often he will can’t nap while I make dinner. I know at 6 months DS1 dropped the 3rd nap so I might have to adjust H’s naps to accommodate 2 naps.

4. What brand of clothes are you loving for baby?

-Carters, Vineyard Vines, anything else on sale! He seems to fit better in carters.

5. Do you have any teething toys? Please share!
-munch mitt, this teething sticks. (I picture them) rubber teething, the teething egg. A bib with e teethers on it.

6. Do you have a highchair yet? If so please share!
-I do by default. It’s a saint alone chair. I might get a chair that hold to table. I have to see how my toddler handles the high chair. He seems to want everything the baby has lately. 🙄

7. How many hours does baby sleep at night? 8-9, sometimes 10. He needs more sleep.

8. Do you still use infant carseat in your stroller? When will you just put baby in the striker without it?

-I still use car seat. I probably won’t stop until after 6 months.


9. I know a lot of us were having some sleep regression issues....has anyone done sleep training? If so what did you do? Did it Work?

-I have not done any yet, but I am looking to start soon. I ferberized my first, which some tweaking. It was a horrible 6 days but it worked. I don’t know if I will go the same route or try something different. My toddler was good with the night feedings which made it easier. This kiddo not so much so it’s new ground for me

10. What size diapers is baby in now? What size clothes?
-diapers size 3, clothes 3-6, 6 months

11. Be honest....no judgement. Do you ever put baby in bed to sleep with you?

-I have. I ended up partial cosleeping with my first becuase he was horrible at sleep. I swore I wouldn’t do it again. I pretty much kept that promise except for the nights he was really sick. Sometimes after the last wake up in the morning I’ll take him in bed. But that point my DH is already up for the morning.

12. Any other questions for everyone?
