19 month old fighting naps

Anyone else’s toddler all the sudden fighting naps? Will go down fine for bed and put himself to sleep, but will scream and fight nap unless I’m in room or he is asleep on me. We have never had issues before, we did sleep training back when he was 6 months and have been smooth sailing since minus some sleep regression! Could this be FOMO, separation anxiety, or maybe he is just done with naps (I hope not lol)?

Oh yes!! My almost 19th months daughter fighting for naps she is just taking 1 nap for 2 hours or sometimes 2.5 hours

How are you handling the fighting it? My son won’t even take that long of a nap unless it’s with me. Just now it took him 40 min of screaming fighting it and he only took a 30 min nap😭

It is just somedays hit or miss, today she is up from.7.30 but not at all tired to take a nap, I tried she was fighting and I didn't forced..I m letting her get mpre tired lol

My 18 month old daughter has been doing this for the past week or so. We have tried just holding and rocking her and not letting her down but with mixed results. It’s so frustrating.

There's are so many sleep regressions it can feel like you just end one and a new one starts up 🥴 what I've learned with my first was just keep being consistent and they'll get over this hump.

My 19 months has also started doing the same … she scream at night so many times …. Since 1 week I’m sleep deprived…..

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
