Nap Training at Six Months

Sleep. Everyone needs it, yet few of us seem to get enough of it. And with babies, it determines the mood of an entire household.  All moms want their babies to be good sleepers. At the beginning, Little C was a 2-asleep 1-awake kind of kid, round the clock. It took him a while but [...]

Balancing Flexibility with Routine

Today marked the first day of a pretty big house project: a new deck! Missus Scooter and I have been really excited about the start of this endeavor because the deck we had before was really small and a bit janky. We couldn’t imagine letting Baby O crawl  around on it (flaking paint, uneven boards, [...]

How to Transition from 2 Naps to 1

Both Charlie and Olive transitioned very easily from 3 naps to 2 when they were 8 months old.

Dropping to one nap: When is it time?

I’ve attributed a lot of sleep problems to our recent move, but something has dawned on me: By now, Baby Y is fine with his new surroundings. But at almost 12 months old, he’s edging closer to transitioning from two naps to one, and that is almost certainly what’s throwing us for a loop. It [...]

Notes from Mommy, the Dictator of Sleep

When Wagon Jr. came home from the hospital, he was sleeping all day and all night in 1.5-2 hour chunks. Pretty soon he stretched to 3 or 4 hours at a time at night. Everyone warned me that newborns are so tired from being born and all the excitement of being in a new world, [...]
