2 year sleep regression- anyone on the other side?

Seen a lot of posts about a 2 year sleep regression and it started for us a few nights ago. My absolutely amazing sleeper who loved going to bed is now screaming the house down. It’s so horrible, and especially hard as I have a newborn who screams in the evenings too!

Just wondering if this happened to anyone else and is now back to normal? How long did it last and any tips to make it through?
Or if you’re going through it with your lo, how are you handling it? Letting them sleep with you or trying to keep them in their room?

We are going through the same thing she isn’t napping and refusing bedtime I’ve been reading a book before bed and just laying in there with her but taking an extra 40min to a hour currently laying in room now 😂x

My little boy was 2 in march and we have just come out of the end of this now, lasted for around a month for us

haha she was so tired today after refusing to nap that she fell asleep in the baby’s play mat on the floor - she slept for an hour and a half- I had to wake her up!!
Yes we stayed in her room singing/ reading for ages and it eventually calmed her down enough to go to sleep 🥲
It’s so hard now they can string a sentence together, i find it very difficult when she asks so nicely whilst also crying 😅😭 x

oh wow, was he upset every night? And did anything seem to help or do you think it’s just a matter of time?

Going through the same thing! Either up for 2/3 hours overnight or wants to start the day at 4 or 5am…been going on for about 2 weeks now. Hoping it ends soon 🫩 x

@Georgia we literally tried everything but nothing helped or worked then 1 day it just went back to normal.

And yep and if he wasn't upset then he was just so naught/hyper and juat wouldn't settle, we ended up having to cuddle/rock him to sleep again downstairs then take him up.

Alot of time he would also wake in night screaming/crying and would not go back into his bed so ended up being in bed with us

ah it’s so hard isn’t it!
I’ve resorted to bribery at this point 🙃😅 x

aw bless, there’s obviously a lot going on for them developmentally isn’t there.
You just have to do what you can to get through, glad it seems to have gone back to normal for you!

It’s been 5 weeks for us so far…

oh gosh, it didn’t seem to last long for us but my lg hasn’t been well the last few days and sleep has gone rubbish again 🙃

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!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
