Sleep issues at 16 months

My 16 month old used to sleep throught the night till he was 12 months...post that his sleep has been terrible with few good nights which I think is mainly because of teething ..but even now his sleep hasnt improved...waking up multiple times and early morning too. I feel sometimes he is afraid of being alone in his room in the dark. He has transitioned to 1 nap and has wake window of 5-6 hrs. Any suggestions/advice please
One tired momma😪

I'm so sorry. My baby girl is teething too and she has been waking up at like 2 am because of it. This past week has been the first week we've been able to sleep in. Have you tried a night light, a stuffed animal or a blanket they like? I do all three and it's helped a lot.

Oml I hope this isn’t in my future. My LG is almost 16m and she’s suddenly become a terrible napper. She just knocks out in the car like 1-2hours before her nap time

Im in the same boat. Soon as he turned 1 year old, he wakes up for milk. Nothing can sooth him but milk.

Mine wakes up more too now. He’s usually hungry so I get a sippy cup of milk and he goes back to sleep. Sometimes he doesn’t want to go back into his crib and I have to hold him asleep for a while.

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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 :(
