My kid covered himself in diaper cream today, along with his carpet and furniture. While I was cleaning it up, washing the carpet and keeping the baby entertained he disappeared for a while. I go to dump out the carpet cleaner and hear him crying. He comes running at me with a bloody lip. He hit it on the sink in the bathroom. I go over to comfort him and notice that he is wet, along with the walls, floor and toilet. He had covered everything in toilet water. So that was my awesome day.
You are not going to break him. It was hard for us with DS1's crappy sleep. But I think we did it for 3-4 days and he was STTN. It was amazing. Now we are working on getting the second one (looks like he is about a month younger than yours) to sleep. It has been a week and not much improvement. Once they get it though, it will be so much better. So much. At least that is what I tell myself as he cries, and cries, and cries.
If she loves her pjs so much would that be worth using as leverage to get dressed in the morning. If you can't get dressed in the morning you have to do it at night and have to wear clothes rather than pjs to bed.
Or, I am not above pinning down, sometimes you just need to get things done.
At this point we didn't care where they slept as long as they did. But I say this as my 4.5 month old unhappily "sleeps" in his crib for the second time ever.
We buy Huggies for the most part. If we order a bundle of diapers from The Honest Company it comes with wipes. I think that their wipes are awesome, very moist and thick, almost like cloth. We don't buy diapers/wipes from THC unless we have a 40% or 50% off code.
We are going through this right now also. For those of you that did or are planning on sleep training around 4 months, did you still feed the baby in the middle of the night? I know C can sleep through the night without eating, he just hasn't been doing that for the last month or so.
We used mostly Pampers for our first but tried several brands. Huggies don't seem to fit my skinny boys very well. Up&Up are cheaper but get really saggy and are more likely to leak. With our second boy we got a good deal on Honest Co. diapers and wipes(40 and 50% off) and have liked those so far. With those discounts it is around the same price as Pampers, but I wouldn't buy them at retail price.
Target seems to have the best in-store deals around my area.
First -induced for pre-e at 37 weeks. 36 hour labor. Vaginal delivery. 20 min of pushing Second - induced at 40 weeks, 6 days. 8 hour labor. Vaginal delivery. 20ish min of pushing
No epidural for either but with the first I had some sort of iv pain meds during mid labor, it stopped working so I didn't ask foe more.
Yes, when our first son wasn't sleeping and was getting up 8+ times a night we said that he would be the only child we had. Then he started sleeping so much better and we went for a second. The second sleeps much better, so far, but we are undecided on a third as of now.
