So my leave is up in 2 more weeks, and baby will be 10 weeks old. I’m an essential worker, so I’ll be returning to work at that point. I’ve been back on the bike since 2 weeks after baby, and regularly since about week 4 with the typical 1 hour T/W/Th weekday rides and a little longer Sat and Sun. …

That’s what I’m hoping to do as well; however, I don’t function well without adequate sleep. At this point, baby doesn’t sleep the long hours just yet. But I definitely plan to ride later evening when she starts going down for longer stretches. She’s currently 7 weeks and will sleep a 6-7 hour stre…

You’ll get there, but can’t emphasize enough how important sleep training your kid is for your health and their development–i.e., you’re giving your kid the gift of self-regulation. (I’m married to a child/educational developmental psychologist, so she’s been all over this with our kids). We norma…

Exactly…I cant recommend this strategy enough. We were a bit lax about it for a while until I put my foot down and said ‘we’re doing this’ with our kid. Around six months, her sleep schedule was really bad. Up at all hours, tears at 3 in the morning…etc. It took two weeks, which was NOT fun…but af…

We are definitely trying to focus on good sleep habits with her. She puts herself to sleep in the bassinet on her own many nights. She will grunt and grumble while sleeping, which I never realized how loud babies are when the sleep! But I never get her to feed her until she is actually fully awake a…

@anon67840561 how did you work on getting on that ideal sleep schedule?

Can’t recommend the Taking Cara Babies ( https://takingcarababies.com/ ) course enough. We have 14 week old twins who have been sleeping through the night for the last month or so

I think we roughly followed the guidelines of a new parent book we were given. But the gist of it is spend longer durations letting the kid cry. Start with 5 or ten minutes, then increase it slowly over a couple weeks to where you’re waiting 30-60 minutes before going in to check on them. I dont thi…

Unfortunately, I can’t justify purchasing a schedule from them. I follow their ig though.

Oh yeah, not when they are too young. They are still crying because they need something still, especially food :joy:

have a 10 week old also. it has to be the morning workouts for me, generally up around 5-5.30am depending on length of workout, need to finish by 7 when our eldest wakes up. evenings are family time. I’m sleeping in the spare room so I don’t disturb wife and baby and get a full night’s sleep. usual…
