Cry vomit

This sounds so awful and scary… I’m so sorry. I have an 18 month old too, and while he doesn’t do this thankfully, I have been encouraged to not let him dictate everything in our lives 100% of the time (ha). And this is so easy to fall into (especially someone like me who suffers with perfectionism and anxiety too). It’s far easier to control the environment and stay at home where it’s familar and easier to deal with, but then your anxiety and fears going out get heightened… and easier said than done, but maybe try once a week to push yourself to go out? And then hopefully it gets easier? I’m also trying to do this with napping on the go, as for the last 6 months he has napped at home! But it limits our days dramatically and I’m trying to change that. Wishing you all the best hun hope it gets easier x

This is exactly how I feel 😭😭he is dictating us in a way that’s not healthy. But I will start with baby steps in taking him out. I appreciate the advice 💕

Yeah I’d mirror the advice just given. You may find they tantrum less out too Cus of distractions. Mines had a massive tantrum (doesn’t vomit tho) in specsavers the other week and another lady there was so kind to me and I realised the reality isn’t as bad as the thought. Just be prepared with change of clothes etc and pray it’s just a phase! X

where do they nap now? My LO doesn’t sleep in pram or anything so currently stuck in this cycle

That’s my biggest fear that people would judge me😫 but I’m going take a leap of faith. And maybe different environment and activities would help. Thanks mama💕

we did ONE outdoor nap in the pram (snooze shade, breastfeed in the car, portable white noise machine) and he cried for like half an hour before falling asleep for 45 mins 🤦🏻‍♀️but it was something. And we did an early night and then was back on track by the next night so I feel less afraid to try again at some point!

My daughter is 18 months old and she’s the same.. I found the only thing that stops her being sick is me giving her a cuddle and saying it’s okay calm down.. it will not work with anyone but me though xx

i give him cuddles and reassurance that’s it’s ok and he just doesn’t calm down till he gets sick and will only then stop crying after. At times I try and divert his attention to something that he likes etc reading his favourite book but sometimes it works but for the most part I’m constantly cleaning up sick when there is a big tantrum.

My daughter used to be the same when she started doing it she’d hold her breath too and used scare the life out of me..standing up and cuddling her would help more then, she’s the same now with her dad he cannot stop her being sick nomatter what he does it started driving him mad being sick on all time so he passes her to me straight away now lol my little girl as always been my shadow though so I think that’s why maybe, hopefully he’ll start to settle for you soon hun sick is hard work init bad enough when their ill although everytime their upset xx
