Sleeping out of control, in need of advice in c/parenting

That's something I was also considering, because there were some days when she already looked a bit sleepy in the morning already. Will be thinking about it, thanks!

Unfortunately this is the case I'm seeing happening more. I would love to use a router of my choice, but then I would lose the TV service (Telekom, Hungary). And it's not just about the freedom of mine to choose the hardware, but the features their one is lacking.

Also with the TV box I got from them 2 yrs ago, I can feel and see that's is miles behind my 2015 (!) Shield TV.

So yeah, ISPs giving out crappy hardware and force you to use it, is my nr. 1 gripe.

Thanks for the variety of tips. I'll be thinking about how to use them. The car part we already tried and succeeded but trying not to incorporate it too heavy, since I heard that my boss used it so effectively with his kids they didn't want to go to sleep any other way 😀

Quiet time sounds reasonable, thanks for the tip. Will try it out for sure.

Thanks for this. Nice to hear at least other parents also struggling with this. Trying to be more considerate on what she needs.

Thanks, I was not really considering not to have the afternoon sleep. But I guess you're right. Pushing never feels like the good approach.

Hey everyone!

Wanted to check in here about our newest struggle, maybe someone can share our pain or even help with some advice.

Our little one just turned 2, the biggest development of the last few weeks is that she's really talkative now. Able to respond to questions, even describing events with some help. Other huge change is that putting her to sleep is getting more and more industrious:

Before, both in the afternoon and in the evening we had the nice ritual of putting blankets and pillows on the floor of her room, turning off the lights, singing some nice songs, maybe telling the tale of her achievements that day, and she went to sleep in ~20 minutes (40 minutes max).
Now, the afternoon sleep is taking more hours sometimes and she doesn't even look sleepy most of the times. And since the afternoon nap is happening later, the night sleep is happening later and slower. And we feel that we cannot push it further more.

We tried a lot of things already in the afternoon (as we're feeling that could be root of the problem for the evening sleep also) for example putting her to the baby carriage for a walk, putting her in one of these carriers on our backs, putting her directly into her bed... Nothing really works, it feels like she just needs us to try at least 2 hours and then she gives up. At least when she sleeps, she really sleeps like a baby, sometimes not even waking up at all for the whole of the evening (that is something that haven't changed).

Have you experienced something like this around 2 years? How did you solve it? Or do you have any other suggestion?

I would appreciate any input from you.

That's one way. Or you can contribute code, help others in the forum, file bug reports... OR if you're the lazy one like me you can actually give them money.

Don't like subscriptions? Ok by me, but please don't think that complete teams will be working on great and secure software for free. That's not something that can be maintained for a long time.

If you like something, contribute to it.

I do agree that it's pretty cool that HA can be used for free, but if you like something and use it regularly please find ways to contribute.

I believe playing with visibility would be the easiest way

This is the first time I'm exploring this, but I think you're wrong.

On Mastodon you can:

Control who's following you (also block)
Set your post to appear only to your followers (link)

So post visibility is not something you set per profile, but per post. But you have an effective tool to decide who you let in AND remove on the way.

Yeah, I was also wondering about the transcoding. And thanks for the power draw comment, great to know. Sounds manageable.
