Trouble sleeping after traveling

Hey everyone! We live in Florida and just went to visit my father in law in Washington state last week. This whole week back I have not been able to get my 14month old back on her sleep schedule and back in her crib. Our week in WA was very over stimulating for her I believe; lots of family members and their kids, so lots of unfamiliar faces for her and lots of high energy kids when she just wanted some space and time to herself. Now that we are back, I do her normal bedtime routine, bath, books, bottle..and she falls asleep on me but wakes when I put her in her crib, and cries so hard it makes her throw up. I obviously have to clean her up and get her ready for bed again. Just for her to cry and throw up in the crib again. She will only sleep on me, no crib. Should I just work on getting her back on her sleep schedule first and let her contact sleep? And THEN work on getting her back in the crib? I feel like she’s maybe too overtired to emotionally handle being back in her crib alone. Tips? Advice?? Help!

We have a similar trip coming up and I’m nervous about how it will affect my daughters schedule too. I don’t have experience with this yet, but I believe in giving them whatever they need to sleep/console in those times of special circumstances.

She sounds over tired. Let her contact nap to catch up, then slowly transition back into her regular sleeping spot. We did Hawaii (6hr difference) and it took a good 2 weeks to get back on track. We also did Europe (9hour diff) and it took 6 weeks to get back to normality. Be patient and trust your gut

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
