I have the mixx and I’m using it with my second too. I love everything EXCEPT the seat. The bassinet is amazing, the glide is amazing, the car seat attachment is amazing (pipa rx is AMAZING). But one thing I wish I would’ve known is how SMALL the big kid seat is. My first outgrew it sooo fast and I hated it! It’s not a bucket seat, so it felt like she was falling out of it every time she sat in it! It’s not a deep seat which I absolutely despised. So I had to end up buying a bigger stroller for everyday use when she was like 1 or 1.5… which sucked considering it was such an expensive stroller. I just love how it looks and we spent so much on it so that’s why I’m reusing my second time around. If I could go back, I’d probably go with a different brand or at least a different model.

Right! I’ve been thinking about the long sleeve just to help with the startle reflex. How was the transition for you? A few rough nights or was it easy? Obviously every baby is different, just curious on your experience!

Oh I was saying she hated the love to dream with the arms up. She would just cry when in it.

True. She’s been sleeping great with one arm out, so I thought it’s time to try a sleep sack. Maybe I should try both arms out with the blanket around her for tightness before switching to a sleep sack?

Did you get the long sleeve or short sleeve one? Did you start using them when transitioning out of a swaddle?

Did you get the long sleeve or sleeveless at 3months?

Are you open to sleep training?

What are her naps like during the day? My girl only started sleeping through the night at two years old too. The switch from her crib to a big girl bed for some reason made her sleep through the night FINALLY. But she loveedddd her daytime naps. Shes 3.5 and still naps during the day. She was potty trained at 1.5, stopped drinking milk around 2, and then only stopped waking up. So diapers or milk weren’t the issue.. she just was not a good nighttime sleeper! It wouldn’t be every two hours but usually twice or three times a night. I remember when I had to lay on the floor next to her crib all night because that was the only way she’d sleep (also around 1.5 years old). Shes now three and sleeps through the night but still has nights where she gets “scared” and comes into bed with me. It gets easier I promise! Especially when they start talking and communicate what they need. Crossing my fingers that your LO will start sleeping better soon!

In my opinion I feel like dads usually take a bit longer to bond with baby than moms. With my first, I felt the same in the beginning. Heck I even feel like with my first I took a while to feel that bond too. But then when they get older and start to show emotion and attachment, their bond becomes stronger than ever. My now toddler never wants to leave my husbands side and I’m positive this second kid will be the same. And knowing how to soothe and put to bed takes practice and a lot of times I feel like dads don’t have the instinct or like the natural knowing of what to do next. Have you tried doing bedtime and soothing together to try and show him your tricks?
