3year old sleep regression??

My 3 year old wakes up 5 times a night all of a sudden and I don't know why. She just wants us to cover her up and sometimes she needs to potty.. and sometimes she will just scream for a good 10 minutes and won't let my husband or I calm her down. She only naps at school because the teachers make the kids nap but her sleep doesn't improve on the weekends with no nap. I don't know what to do to get her sleeping through the night again. I'm at a loss and completely exhausted. Can someone please give us advice??

Your baby sounds like my 2.5 year old. One night he was sleeping as he always does, the very next night, up crying and roaming the house looking for me. This has been going on over a month now & we do not encourage cosleeping but I’m pregnant with his sister and sometimes that’s the only way for anyone to get any rest. I’m hoping it’s something he will grow out of. As silly as this may sound, I did read that rearrangement of the room helps - like putting the bed in a new place in the room. We are about to redo his room anyway for the new baby coming but am willing to try anything!
Let me know if you find anything that works too!

I have a 2 year old that doesnt sleep through the night. Ive tried so many things to help but nothing seems to work. Her and her brother both share a room with a white noise

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

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 :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?
