Is there any 16 month sleep regression????

The day my son turned 16 months his sleep been shit. Following is his schedule.
7am wakeup
8am breakfast
10 am snack
12pm lunch
12:30/1pm nap
2:30/3pm wakeup from nap
4pm snack 2
6pm dinner
8/8:30 bedtime

He was sleeping till 1/2am and would go back to sleep after a feed until 7am now he is up every freaking hour and would not settle until held.
I know his gums are sore I apply teething gel before he goes to sleep. Its been a week or above what am I doing wrong?

Any times there’s anything developmental there can be sleep disturbances. This isn’t always linear for all children as they develop at such different rates. We’ve had a flurry of words and new walking so sleep recently with him has been horrendous but his twin sleeps through!

Teeth at this age also massively affect their sleep

It’s probably teeth, mines been teething forever and is now working on her 4th canine (really hoping it’s not also the 2 year molars). Have you tried Calpol/ nurofen before bed?

Yes there is we are currently going through it too it’s been the worst one yet but when he wakes up at 2 in the morning he’s not crying he’s wide awake ready to start the day😢😢😢

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?

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.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
