Sleep training - is 13 months too late to start?

Is it too late to start sleep training at 13 months ?
My Lo sleep used to be really good. But as soon as she turned 11.5 months it just went down hill. It did get better for a week but now it's gone bad again. She wakes every 30-60 mins

Never too late to start I say!

We’re at a similar point, I don’t think it’s too late, it’s just about choosing the ‘right’ method as they can definitely fight harder than when they’re smaller 🥲 also consider if they’re teething etc as molars tend to come through around now and they’re hell - our boy’s just had his first and it’s basically like four pain points rather than one due to the shape of the tooth so we have to be extra on it with calpol x

I sleep trained just after 11 months at the start of this year and I think I coped better with it because she was older so I felt like she understood the process a bit better

I started at 13months as my baby co-slept with us from early on as he refused to go into the cot. As soon as I put him in he would get up immediately.
I started just over 2 weeks ago with the gentle lie down method and he now does the majority of the night in the cot. Still wakes multiple times but its better than it was
Still a way to go to get him to transition to his own room now but they seem to learn fast.

Immunisations

What are peoples opinions on immunisations for our little ones?

Obsessed with making boys rude

From the moment I gave birth to a boy I’ve been hearing comments about how he’s going to be rude and mess with all the girls and he won’t have any behavior. I don’t understand why they insist and on saying these things just because he’s a boy is this normal comment for a baby boy?

Breast milk

Hi guys, so just want to check see if anyone’s had the same thing happen so I’m not going mad. I breastfed my baby for about 12 weeks then stopped my supply gradually. Anyway fast forward 2 months, it would appear I’ve got breastmilk all of sudden leaking this morning, is this normal?😂😩

Rant about dad in playground incoming!!!!!

So me and my mum were just in the playground with my 21 month old. We made our way to a little playhouse and there was another little boy who seemed the same age, maybe a little older with his dad and older brother nearby.

I looked at the dad and he seemed so laid back he might aswell of been laid in the bushes. One earphone in, kind of looked distant.

I encourage my son into this playhouse, holding his hand. The little boy comes over and basically barges his way in and stands in the way so my son couldn’t come in. I’m obviously still encouraging him to go in and trying to chat to this little boy about how nice the playhouse is.

He swipes some leaves and sticks off a little table inside which makes my son jump so he steps back and this little boy leaves. He then follows us to the slide and he’s using his body to basically block my son. Kicking his leg so he can’t get on. The slide was massive and attached to a massive climbing frame. There was plenty of space for several kids.

It got to the point where we had to explain to this little boy that his behaviour isn’t very nice and to stop. The dad was on his phone still with an earphone in.

Now I try my hardest, even more so now I’m a mum to not judge and fully understand kids are kids and sharing, social skills ect are being learnt but I feel like those kids were in charge of their dad, not the other way around. At what point do you stop being so understanding and throat punch the dad 🤷🏽‍♀️
