I've considered turning the sleep index into two indexes (sleep and parenting?) to make it easier to go through but I'm not sure that is the answer. And then there are some posts that may organize things in a different way to make it easier for people to navigate sleep issues.
Anyway, if any of you have some good ideas, please let me know! You can email or leave a comment here (please try to be nice;)
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI would love it if you would add more specifics under the sleep problems by age. I find that to be the most helpful.
Also, could you add some of your schedules from your boys? It is really helpful to see what other people have done.
Thanks!

DeleteI will try to add more stuff under issues by age Karen. I've been meaning to for some time.
I'm always hesitant to add my children's schedules because so many people seem to take it as what their child should be doing exactly too which isn't the case, but maybe if I add my boys schedules plus some other people's schedules at ages that will help out with this issue.
Thanks so much for the suggestions!

ReplyDeleteI would appreciate more post related to age. Example
This is the average wake time for this and that month (I know you already have it)
Specified when naps can be dropped by age
Sleep problems by age
All averages of course, but I would be easier just to click on "Baby 4 months old" and than find all the useful information needed at that time. When writing the month specific post you could link to post you have already done if one wants to ready more in depth about something. It would make it much easier to navigate.
Hopes this can be of any use

ReplyDeleteI 2nd Matylda's selections and I would also have some suggested/recommended schedules which you would be able to access under a schedules header in the index and by age. Thank You, I find your blog tremendously helpful!!!

ReplyDeletei agree, i like for sample routines and also by age more. Also i believe you've done general things on the 5 baby types described by Hogg (angel,textbook,touchy) but if you've had experience with any of those maybe some posts on that with more details. And just maybe general long-term perspective as you have 2 and they're now older, so maybe what phases they've gone through and around what ages,etc. This may helpful, especially for moms who have more than 1 kids and they can kind of see what is normal for each age,phase,etc.
i am not sure if you have done behavioural type things or more sleep as i didn't see about things like an older child moving to a bed but i think that would be helpful for some, especially how to address it if there are testing or issues,etc.
Just a couple of ideas.
Thanks!

Deleteyys,
I've been planning on extending out more to behavior stuff. It's hard to know how much I should put on a blog about sleep, you know. I want to add more parenting stuff and child development but I don't know if it would be helpful or annoying to people. It's great to get your thoughts! I will try to add more personal stuff. I held out on this early on but people seem to find it useful so I'll try to do it more.
Thanks!
Rachel
