Sleeping problems

Mamas, what are some tips/suggestions on how to get your little one to sleep in their own room? My daughter is a year and a half old & she has absolutely no problem sleeping in her bed when it’s nap time but the moment it’s bed time she has a full blown meltdown.

We are at a loss on how to get her to sleep in her own bed. We’ve rearranged her room & gotten her a new bed, we also try to lay in there with her at night to try to get her to sleep but nothing works. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In the same boat with my son 🥲

I went through this and still go through this sometimes and my daughter is almost 3 😅 I would suggest getting into an established bedtime routine: (shower,brushing teeth,read a book)and stick to it even through the meltdowns. I find that giving them lots of heads up timing wise helps a lot.
It is totally up to you but I find that personally, lying down together in their bed only made the process longer and harder for both of us. She expects that I stay there and sleep together and cries her heart out in the middle of the night if I’m not there and I don’t get any sleep. 😅
Hang in there!

Maybe sleep regression

If it is a regression, unfortunately you just have to ride it out. Survive and be consistent with your plan

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
