15 month troubles

I am actually at my wits end and I don’t know what to do!

From having such a good sleeper to now a shocking sleeper I am seriously struggling.

Day naps have turned to non existent or 20-40mins and she is done. If i was to continue sitting in a chair with her or lie down with her she would fall asleep but I don’t have the time to be doing that every single day.

We now have night wakings as she is overtired and trying to get her to resettle is taking agessss.

Please tell me others are going through similar and it will pass? I have never experienced this before and I am currently sitting here in a ball crying while listening to her cry as she won’t sleep

What does your routine for the day look?

8am - wake
830 - breakfast
1hr before nap is lunch
1230pm - nap
Afternoon snack
Dinner - 6pm
Bath
Bottle
Bed approx 730pm - 8pm

Is she on 2 naps a day? I wonder if you could be transitioning to 1? We've just gone to 1 nap which has really helped day and night sleeps. She still does the occasional day with 2 sleeps a day if she wakes up early but it has really helped settle things down

Nope has been on 1 nap for some time now so it’s definitely not that

Do you offer morning tea before her lunch nap? Could she be hungry? I know all babies are different, but if my LO doesn't get a decent snack before her nap she'll barely sleep. Edit, just saw you offer lunch before her nap 🤦🏻‍♀️.

There's also an IG account called sleeopoffaith, she's not a sleep trainer, but looks in detail into why babies aren't sleeping, looking at all factors, such routine, deficiencies, physical factors, literally everything. You could look into her services if you're interested (I have no affiliation with her, just follow her and love her approach)

Thank you I will definitely check it out. She also has a snack for morning tea.
I am hoping just an phase at her age

Hey lovely try getting her up at 7am she is likely not tired by 12.30 if she’s only up at 8 xx

Agree with Anna, I wake bubs up at 6.30/7 (wakes before then a lot of the timeanyway), if she sleeps in later I've found it counts as a nap and comes off day sleep

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

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 :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

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
