Hi all! My 11 week old baby has been giving us 4-5 hr stretches since he was 9 weeks old. But I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to extend it a little longer or skip a feed. He consumes 4oz every 2.5-3hrs. Our day usually starts anywhere between 7am-8am and bedtime between 7pm-8pm. After bedtime, the next feed is between midnight to 1am and then again at 4-5am. We actually like these hours but I was wondering if there’s anything we can do to skip the midnight to 1am feed. Dream feed? Wake baby up between 9-10pm for another feed? Will it ever happen naturally that he sleeps through the midnight feed?

Hi all, so for the last week, my 11 week old LO has been breaking out of this Happiest Baby Sleepea swaddle (Velcro + zipper). He’s clearly a little Houdini but does NOT know how to roll yet. I find him wanting to suck his hands through the swaddle, likely for comfort. So in my head he clearly wants his arms out. For daytime naps, I’ve tried one arm out, both arms out, Love to Dream arms up swaddle, Zipadee-zip and other variations of said arms up swaddles but I find that he cannot settle in his bassinet with arms out either one or both. He ends up having a party in his bassinet then ends up fussing and crying. Even worse if he needs a paci and it keeps falling out of his mouth. I’m actually waiting for him to suck his hands for comfort now that his arms are out but I haven’t seen him do it, only if he is completely swaddled. So I’m a little confused. I end up rescuing the nap by putting him back in the Sleepea swaddle. I’m worried I’m inhibiting something developmental but also he gets overtired when his arms are free? I tried the Merlin magic suit (fleece version) but he’s currently swimming in it. How do I proceed?

Hi all! Does anybody know when Happy Baby releases new prints/ patterns or if they restock sold out prints? I really want the OG carrier but I can’t do a solid color linen. I tried going to EBay and Marketplace to see if ppl resell OG carrier with prints/pattern but surprisingly they’re hard to come by.

Curious to find out how daytime naps are going to those of you with unicorn sleepers (6+ hrs). LO is currently 9 weeks old. The longest we’ve gotten so far is a 5 hr stretch and that’s with at least 4 hrs of daytime naps. I’m so worried of my baby being overtired that it will ruin his night sleep.

He got his 2 month vaccines on Friday so we let that one go (was fussing till midnight). But since this weekend, daytime naps would be 20-30 mins). He seems recovered from the shots. I find myself having to rescue the last nap of the day by putting him in a carrier and walking to our local park. I have no problem doing that except I’m still having issues with mg pelvic floor and the groin pain I had since 3rd trimester has not gone away and has in fact been worse.

Any tips on how to rescue these crap naps/ cat naps?
