13 month old co sleeps...

Okayyyy so my 13 month old has co slept with us since he was about 6 months old. It needs to stop - he naps in his cot through the day and starts off in his cot at the start of the night and wakes without a doubt 10-10:30 every night knowing he'll get put back into my bed for the remainder of the night. How on earth can I stop this, we want our bed back 😭

Let me know when you have the answer because this sounds exactly like me 😅

Going to wait here for the answer too 😭 my son is the same and we put him to sleep in the cot if I really tried I could get him back to sleep then back in the cot when he wakes bht when ur half asleep it’s jsut too easy to just pick them up and lay them with u😭❤️

I don’t know if this helps or is still relevant but just sharing my experience with my little one (16months now) and we were the same! my baby was breastfed and would wake up at the same time or at 1am and walk into you room for feeds and cuddles. Once I weaned her (just last week) she stopped and sleeps through the night. I slept with her in her room and moved myself once she asleep for a couple nights. I also put a gate at her door, instead of closing the whole door. She’s in a toddler bed as well (I skipped the cot). I hope this was somewhat helpful 🥲

Not sure if this helps but with my little girl who still breastfeeds (16 months) I get into bed with her and wait till she falls asleep then get back into bed with my partner and if she wakes throughout the night, I just get back in and cuddle and feed her till she falls back to sleep and go to sleep myself in mine and my partners bed- i sometimes have to repeat twice before she stays asleep and sometimes she sleeps throughout the night

My 18 month old does the same

Fucked off

I don’t feel like I’m a good mum, I cannot stand my child clinging onto me/screaming I literally want to smack my head against a wall every time she makes that screeching noise I am seriously exhausted and I have no help whatsoever.

Ive lost my patience

I am only 12 weeks but I fell like ive lost my patience with my 15 month old, all day long im just constantly telling her off for hitting the tv, climbing on the back of the sofa to get to the window, throwing things at the cat and laughing. Im not enjoying being with her and that sounds horrible 😢

Im not enjoying my pregnancy in the first place and feeling exhausted everyday aswel cause my daughter is sleeping in our bed every night as she cries the moment i get near her cot 😢

Im just feeling lost

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?

My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Pet Lovers

I just found out some bad news yesterday. My babygirl of 14 years has cancer. They found three large masses inside her. I am so devastated. I know i have to put her down but she is still acting like herself. Jumping on and off the bed/counter, eating and drinking.

I just dont know what to do or when to do it. How do I know when its time? She doesn't seem to be in any pain or anything. Vet said that chemo would be hard on her since she's lost weight and is fragile and her age.

I guess I'm making this post for any and all advice on when to know its time to put her down..

Breast feeding

I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️

Contact naps

At what age did your baby go from contact naps during the day to sleeping independently? Even if you had to get them to sleep in your arms first and then transfer them? Just wondering when it started to happen for others!
