18months old Boy- not sleeping through the night

My 18 month old is still not sleeping through the night. He goes to bed on his own and I sit beside him. But he wakes 3-4 times a night and takes bottle each time to sleep. Please help! My husband and I are exhausted.

I did this and it seemed to work for us. And it’s this.
I got our son very tired from rocking, but not asleep. At that point, I set him down in his bed and just quickly walked out. He did cry. But I left him for 10 mins. Crying and calling for me. And this would go on for how ever long it took him to fall asleep. And yes I’d go in and comfort him. And I would comfort for about 5 mins or until you see your baby has calmed down. And if they ramp back up, let them cry for those 10 mins.
Just saying this worked for us. Cuz he knew we would come back. And we always do.

Ty for the reply ! How many did it take him to get to sleep through the night? Also, you had him in crib or toddler bed. Any feeds during the night?

Take him a bath , clothes him , turn every light off in the house and play Rain sounds using a speaker 🔊 trust me this works !have a bottle prepared for him on the side

My two and a half year old still wakes up several times a night, so unfortunately, I don’t have any advice, just solidarity 😭

Is there any sleep training consultant that one can recommend?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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?

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 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
