Do you think sometimes parents expect too much out of a toddler?
A lot of times I see posts and sometimes they come off as they want their toddlers to have Boarding School behaviour or 5* eating habits and robot emotions. The moment they don't, then you see people comment to "whoop them" or therapy or label them as monsters etc. It's frustrating as adults when we are learning something new, so imagine what it's like for toddlers learning EVERYTHING new from their emotions to the world to walking, talking, eating, being independent. In my opinion sometimes there are too many expectations put on toddlers, I mean I trained pretty untrainable adults but I never said I hated them, obviously never wanted to smack them or tell them they needed therapy.
Ferber technique
Has anyone had success with doing Ferber?? My 10 month old was an amazing sleeper until he was 6-7 months old, and now we’ve had 3-4 straight months of insane sleep deprivation and it’s leaving me at my wits end. He only settles by us picking him up and rocking or just holding him, but immediately wakes up and is unsettled when we put him in his cot. It takes hours to settle him, but then he’ll still wake a few hours later anyway. We’ve tried everyyyyything, light, no light, sleeping bag, blanket, different pyjamas, nappy change, dummy, white noise, you name it we’ve done it. Were against the cry it out method so Ferber sleep training seems like a happy medium. Has anyone done it? Or does anyone have any more advice? I’m desperate 😫
