16 month sleep regression

Is there a 16 month sleep regression or am I just losing my mind???
My little girl has decided for the past week that sleep is not for her and takes about 2 hours to put down for bed at night time. Her nap is fine during the day and sleeps fine during the night apart from that.

Yes!! My daughter (15months almost 16) is about to start Week 3 of fighting bedtime … 🙄

Naps are fine.
Just fights bedtime by 1-2hours

it’s so hard isn’t it but I’m really glad I’m not the only one literally nothings changed I was so confused xxx

I was literally just thinking why is my 15.5 month old suddenly SO hard to get to sleep as she gets up off her floor bed and goes running off into our room. She wants to be chased and to play and to read books even if she’s had barely any sleep.

yes she’ll be dozing off looking tired and then she’ll start bouncing like where’s this energy coming from ahaha

honestly like it’ll be nearly 9 o’clock and she’s ready to play anything and everything I’m like howwww xx

This was me a few weeks ago, we co sleep so he’d get off the bed and run around, mess with anything he could find, it was infuriating and I’d dread bedtime! I thought he wasn’t getting enough wake time in before bed but I think it’s all developmental tbh, we’ve started having an evening walk without the pram for about 20 minutes and it seems to help most night, some days it still takes 45 minute to an hour but that’s better than the 1.5/2 hours it used to! Hang in there, it will get better!

I say that but he’s only just gone to sleep tonight 🙈

My little boy has been asleep about 5 minutes but it's took almost an hour and a half to get him down. He'll lie down for a few seconds, sit up and start clapping, lies back down again and decides it's time to throw the dummy on the floor, clap some more and babble 🤣 it's exhausting!

Yup, and also been tackling split wakings for 1-2 hours in the night 🙃🙃

So glad I found this post I was genuinely feeling like a failure because I can't get my lo to go to bed at the moment I currently dread bed time.
I'm sorry your all having a rough time but I'm really glad I'm not alone on this issue

My little one has started to realise what bed time is .As soon as I put his bunny" to sleep" and I play the night lullabies he cries inconsolably and wants to escape.

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?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
