Hi moms! I finally had my little one!! What are some ideas on how to keep your LO asleep that’s not swaddling? I don’t want to keep him super confined while sleeping . Would tucking him in be better? Open to any ideas!
what do I want for Christmas? So everyone keeps asking and i have NO IDEA.
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill? He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over tonight and run it by him...
What did y’all ladies do to help with morning sickness? I keep seeing that sucking sweet tarts helps 🤷🏻 ♀ any ideas? I have it all day 🤢
Wish I could take a full body pic but his Doctor want me to keep him swallowed because his temperature has been really low which has kept me an my baby away from each other all day 😢😟 I haven't got a chance to be with him at all do to it she's been keeping him to keep a close eye on him. I haven't counted his lil toes or none yet 😟 but he's finally here now an I missed him so much omg but I wasn't about to rush them to bring him knowing his health comes first because if it wasn't some to be concerned about they would've kept him literally the whole day from noon to now. Im so in love with him an his brothers put together ain't no love stronger than this.
Lol I just want to keep kissing him till he wakes up

Swaddling was a lifesaver for us. It’s not really confining per say, but rather mimics the close and tight feeling they had in the womb. It’s comforting to most infants.

Aside from swaddling, we tried to implement a bedtime routine early
And we made kiddo's bedtime meal as big as possible / as much as he wanted so he wouldn't wake up due to hunger. We'd deliberately keep him awake / not let him dose off while eating his bedtime meal for this reason.
It all seemed to work well - he slept thru the night for the first time at 3 months old and has always been a very good sleeper.
But without the sleep sack/swaddle, he wouldn't stay asleep very long.

Okay this is super helpful! So the whole routine didn’t kick in until 3 mo is that right?

sorry, my typo was terrible.
We started the routine as soon as we'r brought him home. First it was around 11p bedtime, and he'd wake around 2. But gradually that time started getting longer as he could go longer between meals. We moved up his bedtime routine to 10p when I returned to work, since he only needed one or two feedings, and kept moving it up until he was on a sleep schedule that best fit my husband and my needs. 3months was when he first slept through the entire night - 9p to 7a and it was glorious!

To reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It’s important to keep the baby sleeping on their backs for the first two months and swaddling allows that with a similar environment to the womb.. [when done right ]
“Tucking them in “ sounds like a loose blanket would be involved, which having anything else in the bassinet while your newborn sleeps is very dangerous. ASK YOUR PEDIATRICIAN
Halo Sleepsacks have the same concept of swaddling, that may be an alternative and they seem easier.
Check those out and they are super cute.

well the SleepSack Swaddle allows for swaddling arms IN, and one or both arms OUT for the baby's comfort and I’m guessing you can free his arms while feeding and when he falls asleep, easily swaddle him again without waking him up. But again, your pediatrician is the best person to ask.

I wish I knew. I heard swaddling is the best way though because it mimics our womb.

Same. I also kept reading the different ways to swaddle but I’m nervous on keeping them swaddled overnight. Do you keep them like that overnight?

yes overnight. Pretty much each time they sleep u put it on them. It doesn’t harm them in any way whatsoever. When they get to the stage where u notice baby starts to turn, you move to the sleeping sack. It’s so much better than a blanket. It reduces the risk of Baby suffocating. Swaddling is basically like also replacing a blanket. Then if u end up with a 10 month old like mine, you can Invest in the sleep pajamas with the feet. It replaces using the blanket and still keeps them covered up.
