[ - ] mom of an 11week old, how many months before you felt you got a little bit of a life back? DB used to be somewhat tricky to get to sleep but now it is taking almost 2 hrs each night, i am going to lose it, not to mention she only naps during the day in her stroller. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Hang in there -- my db was the same way. If it's taking 2 hrs to put her to sleep at night, start putting her to sleep later. Will she nap in the swing? That saved my life. In another month or two, things will get better. It took about 8 months, though, before I felt more stabilized in general. [ Reply | More

I can relate--my dd, now 2 yrs old was like that. I hate to tell you, but it really peaked at 5-7 months, where she would wake up 5-10 times a night, and also took about an hour to go down at night. She slept in her stroller for every nap, for 18 months. Then it just kind of stopped on its own. We stayed consistant, did CIO, and kept doing CIO, when she reverted back. She goes to sleep easily now. Just hang in there until 4-5 mos and then let her cry. And PS, my 2nd one is 4 mos old now and she's a breeze--goes right to sleep. [ Reply | More

Do you have a food mill/grinder? The best way to really see what any reactions are is to know what is really in the food. Also, nut allergies come in many varying degrees and aren't always inclusive of seed allergies & vice-versa. [ Reply | More

chiming in late - but we also have the axis and LOVe it . consider it the 2nd best purchase we have ever made (king size bed being the first). we've had it for a few years - 2 kids later and it still looks good as new. super comfortable from day one, and has retained its shape perfectly. super easy to clean - wears very well.
