Sleep regression

Anyone else going through it with this 18 month sleep regression 🥴

The views expressed in community are solely the opinions of participants, and do not reflect those of Peanut.

I had school on Tuesday and literally slept through class bc he was up every 15 minutes for 10 minutes at a time on Monday night 🫠

My son started struggling with this and he’s 18 months, I realized if he takes a 45 minutes to an hour nap a day, he goes right to sleep. Your little one might be ready for shorter and/or one nap a day

Mine just started fighting me for every bed time/ nap a couple of weeks ago and has not stopped 🫠 she thankfully does not wake up though. But putting her down is an ordeal when it dint use to be.

he’s already at 1 nap, he slept like awesome before few days ago & now he just is overtired all the time because he will fight it for so long😭 his naps that he has taken so far have definitely been shortened though!

he might be going through a growth spurt. It’s not necessarily pain. It’s just a lot of discomfort.

We've been going through it for about 5 weeks now. My girly is having split sleeps where she'll sleep for a few hours then up for at least 2 and then rinse and repeat. We had a few days where she slept great (Aliana is right with the 45 minute nap though) but now she's back at it. They say it can last up to 8 weeks sometimes so I'm just hoping to get through September. 🙃

Me mine will sleep from 8:30-4am and then just be up I be so sleep deprived dealing with him and my 2 month old. And now he doesn’t take naps either so I would think he would sleep all thru the night but nope

8 weeks !!!! Oh lord

I have an April 2022 baby and was looking in February to see if anyone has made it through!! Our guy just has a combo of having learned he can refuse things (runs away from diaper changes, doesn’t eat dinner if we are sitting next to him but will eat once we move away, and not wanting to fall asleep for naps or at night, and feeling he is ready to wake up between 3 and 6am…). I think there is also some separation anxiety in there. This has been going on maybe for 3-4 weeks?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀
