Toddler sleep and parent frustration

I had the same sort of thing with my now 5yr old (she was 3yrs exactly when my daughter was born). She was used to sleeping in bed with me, for months before baby came I tried many things, putting her in a room with her brother, getting her to sleep with her dad.. but nothing worked, she would just wake during the night and cry for me waking everyone up. Once the baby was born, I kept her in my bed and baby was In bassinet until out grew and then I had the both them in my bed and I was getting kicked out every night. I tried multiple times for her to sleep with her dad and it would end in tears and yelling cause I was so tired. I decided to get a single bed and just put it in my room next to my bed and it worked wonders. She’s happy to have her own bed but still close to me, and I’m happy cause it gives me space lol. Im currently pregnant with #4 so I’m now worried what I’m going to do once Bub gets here now #3 sleeps in my bed 🤪

I think doing what everyone is happy with for the time being is easiest…. They don’t stay this small forever and won’t want to share forever either 🫶

UM HELLO this is my whole life!!! I also have a 3.5 year old who hates sleeping and am pregnant with #2. It's gotten so bad I tried to get her in to see a sleep specialist but they denied her because "she doesn't snore". I am at my wits end. It's literally destroying our family. I barely speak to my husband anymore because we're constantly fighting her to sleep or we're too drained to think.

I would bring it up with your pediatrician often and immediately. If they have a record on file of the issue you're more likely to be seen.

I know everyone has big opinions on it but we've been giving my daughter melatonin and it's the only thing that helps her sleep. Turned our 2 hour bedtime routine into 40 minutes max. I buy one that's .5 mg mixed with like 10mg of magnesium.

Literally do whatever you need to do and don't take judgement from anyone. Sleep deprivation caused by a toddler is another world of psychological torture. Seriously message me whenever you want. I can't believe I didn't write this post myself

Oh no, I'm in a similar boat. 3 year old sleeps with dad, and 4 month old sleeps with me. Dad is going away for a work trip for a week - tomorrow, and I'm trying to strategise his I'm going to get my toddler down, and my baby down with feeding. My toddler so so noisy at night, he talks and sings, jumps and rolls for hours in bed...it's actually really cute and I enjoy deep discussions with him when I can at night, but with out dad around, im not sure how I'm going to do it :/
