21 month Sleep Regression?

My daughter finally had a consistent sleep routine of sleeping 1.5-3 hours during the day for nap and falling asleep at 8:30-9 after turning 14 months. Before she was a good sleeper but just always slept late. She would go to bed at 10/10:30 and wake up at 9/9:30. This past week she’s been waking up every hour during the night screaming and crying for at least 15 minutes before going back to bed. She also doesn’t fall asleep until 10:30/11 now and wakes up at 7am consistently. I know they’re getting older but I am worried about night terrors and the increased crying. She has all her teeth so ruled teething out of it. Does anyone else have anything similar with their kids?

Is she potty training? I'm trying to break my daughter's milk at night habit and put water in her crib to start getting her used to not drinking so much through the night. She's starting to use the potty but still wears Easy-Ups. The past 2 nights she's woken up a few times, doesn't cry-cry but makes little noises, takes a drink...throws the water and lays back down. I think she's irritated when she gets a little peepee pants since she's usually dry during the day. She still naps for 2 to 3 hours but I can sense that starting to change, she wants to keep playing at nap time and isn't falling asleep as soundly at 7:30 like she used to. If I wait until 8 or 8:30 it's usually better but she gets up at 6 or 7 anyway.

She has all her teeth? Including the back molars, they should be coming in around 20-30 months.
Do you have a night light? Mine was doing this a while ago and stopped when we left a small light on for him.
Is the sound machine running or does it turn off and wake her? Or the opposite, she wants it off now when it usually goes all night.
Does she want a drink?

I just went through this EXACTLY as you described!!! Waking up in the middle of the night was so out of character for her, and I had no idea how to fix it. Thankfully it must have been a phase, because she’s back to normal after 1-2 weeks of poor sleeping (and now onto resisting baths even though it was her favorite thing just a few days ago 🤪). Hang in there, you’ll get through it!

Were about a month into some sort of regression and it's terrible. Some nights are better than others but at least 1-2 wake ups a night, screaming and crying. Not sure what it is but mom and dad are exhausted. 😩

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! 🤣🤡

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

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 :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
