Is anyone’s child still going through the sleep regression?

If so how long? It’s been nearly a month for us and I’m beginning to loose my patience. She’s always been such a good sleeper and for a whole month she’s been absolutely awful at falling asleep for naps and bedtime and then waking in the night as well, it’ll seem like it’s getting better then it just happens again. I’m really beginning to feel so down and depressed.

This has been us since May! He slept all night with no issues for 4months old but since May it has been a nightmare! We’ve changed from cot to toddler bed and the number of night wakings has reduced to only 1 or 2 now but it’s exhausting! You are not alone!😓

My LB also won’t fall asleep on his own anymore and is waking at the moment around 3 times a night 😩 to the point I give in and put him in my bed, which I know doesn’t help but I am so tired and I know he’ll sleep with me. But I am also getting fed up with this and starting to lose my patience - I’m also thinking sleep regression and hoping it won’t last too much longer 🙏🏼 try and think ‘it’s just a phase’ like I do! They’ll come out of it soon 🤞🏻 xx

I don’t think my little had a regression. Or it just hasn’t happened yet 🫣🥴

Oh we are in it too 😬 his naps are awful, gone down from 2.5 hours to just over an hour and awake in the night probably 3 times 😕 I don't go in, just shush him though the monitor. Fingers crossed it'll not get any worse. I thought we were over sleepless nights, I was wrong 🥺

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! 🤣🤡
