Does anyone else ever feel like a total failure as a mom sometimes? I can't get my 22 month old to eat or sleep consistently but he does both great at daycare. He's still waking up at least once per night most nights and people are telling me I need to get him a sleep study because that's not normal. Nap time and bedtime used to be fairly smooth but those are both fights now except for Saturday night when my sister-in-law watched him and got him down without a problem. I haven't changed anything about our routine. It's just apparently not working anymore. I feel like I must be doing something wrong but it's not like he can tell me. I'm pregnant and due in December but I can't even get it right with one kid. How am I supposed to figure out two?

Mine is doing the same thing. You are not a failure. I don't know how to make it better but I just keep telling myself it's a long game and everyone situation is unique. While my kido doesn't sleep for me but does for others, he also refuses to say much I front of anyone outside my husband and I. They choose who they are comfortable with and that's ok. I guess that's not much help on changing the situation but I do think it's fairly normal.
I also can't offer advice but you are not alone. I can't seem to figure out a nap and bed schedule that works. I can get him down at the same times for a week and he will still wake up 1-3 times and on his last wake refuses to go back down in his bed(screams until I pick him up and bring him to our bed) and we end up cosleeping so that we can get sleep. He also won't go down for anyone else easily. I'm just glad he goes to bed before 11pm now 😅
And for food he's the pickiest and lives off of fruit, pouches, and snacks. I try to feed him our meals but he refuses and I end up giving snacks so he doesn't go hungry. 🙃ðŸ«
