Do you notice a difference in your child’s behavior/sleep during different moon phases?

When teaching, everyone always talked about the new moon, and kids would be “in rare form”. I did sometimes notice they’d have trouble focusing, and a lot more behavior incidences. Now that I have my own kids, both of my girls have trouble sleeping, and my oldest tends to have harder days during the new moon.

What are their astrological signs?

I’m a cancer and I notice less energy around new moons and more around full moons btw tonight is a lunar eclipse so good fkn luck lol

that’s a fun little fact thanks for sharing!!

right 😭 my oldest is a Taurus/Gemini cusp. My youngest is an Aries/taurus cusp. So far today wasn’t horrible, but they both had different strong suits. My toddler did great with her naps and is fighting bedtime. My baby was the opposite naps were hard bedtime was a breeze lol

Sooo fun fact… you aren’t just one sign… we all have cancer for example in our chart it just depends on what’s aspected in your whole natal chart… but the moon for sure impacts us!! Most of you guys are referring to your sun sign but we all have a moon sign (moon represents our emotions) too for example I’m a libra sun with Capricorn moon and Capricorn rising … so even if you aren’t born in June, July doesn’t mean you don’t have cancer in your chart…

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 :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
