1 year old sleep advice 😴

My daughter would get cold and I had to double up on blankets for a little bit and that seemed to help. I know they say no blankets in the crib but both baby and momma needed sleep lol

Same here. My daughter slept through the night until 3 weeks ago and now she is up several times during the night and the cry out method doesn’t work anymore. She will cry for hours. Only thing I have been able to do to sleep is take her to bed and nurse her (I thought we were done nursing but here we are). I hope this is a phase she will quickly get over…

Have you tried moving bedtime up 30 minutes?

I give a hot bath every night usually with lavender bubbles and I lotion with lavender lotion. Sometimes we play for 10-15 minutes to get the last little bit of energy out.

Our wake windows are 4 hours in the morning (no more no less) and after nap she’s up 5-6 hours depending on what we do during that time. I usually take her outside in the evening though, so the fresh air tires her out.

What sleep training methods have you done so far or tried?

Same !! He was such a great sleeper and then became the worst !

We do the same bath and night routine daily too I swear we’ve tried everything 🥹 but the fact you said your baby is up 5-6 hours before bedtime makes me think we aren’t giving him enough of a wake window before bed. It just seems we need to move to 1 nap then but when we tried this he was a mess all day so exhausted and overly tired to get to sleep so he was restless and wouldn’t fall asleep. Would you mind saying the schedule times you follow so I can go off of that tmrw and try it out?🤗

ferber and night 1 was great but he screamed everytime we left and stands up in his crib

I’m glad that is working for you mama! See we try to bring him to bed but he jumps all over us and wants to crawl off the bed to play it a nightmare. Im praying this phase ends soon I can’t take it 🥲

thank you 🫶 yeah we have him in a warm sleep sack and blanket with him too but he still wakes up

I stay home with my daughter and I don’t work so our schedule is a little less structured but:
9am: wake up, potty , diaper
9:30: cook/eat breakfast
10: I usually game for a few hours and she watches tablet or has free play unless we have appointments
11-12: snack
1pm-3pm: nap (I clean, eat, or nap)
3pm: potty, diaper, lunch
4: play with daddy
5-6pm: snack then outside
7:30: dinner
8:30-9: start bedtime routine and in bed no later than 10:30

In the evening we do a lot of house hold activities together, I talk to her all day, we run back and forth, dance, anything to get as much energy out as possible. She also has been making friends in the neighborhood so that has helped.

I let her choose when she was ready to move to 1 nap; I didn’t force it. I also had to do a lot of adjusting.

Is giving solid advice!

lol thanks. It’s all just trial and error honestly
