My son is 18 months coming up this month and he’s been in a bit of a routine for a while now. Still takes time going to sleep on a night etc but he’s started waking up crying 1/2 times but screaming.. if I bring him into bed he goes back to sleep so he can’t be up and he’s done with his sleep? But can’t also leave him screaming at 2am or 4am what could it be? He’s not hungry as if he’s hungry it’s a different cry I know it and he wouldn’t go back to sleep at all

There's an 18 month sleep regression I think. Could just be that and he'll settle back down

He likely wants to be close to you.. it’s biologically normal to want to sleep in close proximity to their caregivers x

Quite possibly the 18 month regression. That one hit my little boy hard and he had always been a good sleeper. Lasted a few weeks for us before he went back to normal
My little one is only just 4 months but is rolling and already pretty much grown out of his next to me crib in size! I am an anxious mum and a stickler for following safety guidelines so we are going to dismantle and rebuild his big cot in our bedroom. Obviously that's a big of a faff for just 2 months but the more I think about it the more I can't even think about him moving into his own bedroom anytime soon... It feels so wrong to me to just stick my infant in his own bedroom? 😂 But obviously I know it needs to happen at some point so I'm just curious to see when other parents did the transition whether earlier or later?

Moms, what actually works for getting stains out of your kids’ clothes? 😅 I’m dealing with grease marks and all the random toddler stains. What products do you swear by, and do you pretreat, soak, or just throw everything in the wash?

Why are people posting pics of blood abd mucus plugs without the sensitive content warning??? Not everyone has the stomach to see that, there's first time moms on here who don't need to see it like have some consideration for others??

My little boy will be 10 months old when he starts nursery, he currently needs holding/cuddling to fall asleep then I can place him down in his cot to nap once’s he’s fell asleep. He won’t settle on his own it just results in him screaming crying. But I’m worried about when he starts nursery, will the staff there do the same at nap time or will he expected to self settle himself to sleep?
