So out of no where I have extreme baby fever 😭 I didn’t want another one yet but now I can’t get…

At the moment I looked at my cousin who had hers back to back with in 3 years and I was instantly like oh hell nah I can be chasing after one with one on my hip that sloved mine quick.. so I waited till mine were able to fend for themselves they are 10-5&1 week 4 days

I thought I wanted another one too. Lol The baby fever is real!!! But with a 5yr old that STILL doesn't sleep through the night, even going to school in the day, and throwing fits at 3am and a 2 yr old that will occasionally wake up at night, the baby fever isn't so strong anymore! Lord...

@apursley9, @juliemboyd, I only have one and she doesn’t give me trouble to be a 2 year old. She sleep through the night, likes to feed herself, potty trained, and loves to help when she can.

@teenmom1229 I'm sooo jealous!! Omg! My two yr old uses the potty, but not consistently. She doesn't have a problem feeding herself, if she decides to eat at all anyway, and a handful of nights she'll sleep through the night, but that's also not a consistent thing. I don't mind it so much with her, but her brother is who drives me nuts! I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be sleeping through the night at his age! It's a hassle to get him to go to sleep in the first place, I'm so over it

@juliemboyd, I use to have that problem. I learned to not let her take naps and if she does it shouldn’t last over an hour and 30 minutes. Also make sure they don’t sleep in to late because that can also have something to do with it. And the whole getting them to eat some times you just have to ask them what they want like my daughter loves vegetables. Friday night she just wanted a bowl of mixed vegetables for dinner. If that don’t work try something new give them something they’ve never had before or try to make it fun when it’s dinner time there’s different meal time games you can look up to help.

My daughter's naps are an hour long if she takes one at all, my son doesn't nap anymore and hasn't since he turned 2. I do ask them what they want, but if I let them always decide it would be spinach and chicken nuggets or hotdogs lol I'll try looking up the games. Thank you...they haven't always been like this, they both used to completely love fruits and veggies. Now, they still love fruits, and my daughter doesn't mind veggies. But she just takes a bite of everything and calls herself done. Hopefully this doesn't last long

@juliemboyd my daughter who's is also 5 we used to let her sleep with us and then vpk happened so we started putting her in her own bed and about 2/3 am she also would come climb in the bed with us but sneaky about it..lol. She used to take naps in vpk and now that she is in kindergarten they don't do naps sometimes when she came home in August early September shed want to nap after 3 pm and I wouldn't let her ..so..... she would hopefully sleep threw the night..and sometimes she did and sometimes she didn't... now that the next baby came home it's been a week and 5days now she sleeps threw the night and doesn't come climbing in bed with us anymore... fingers crossed but I've basically pounded in her her head that when the new baby come she couldn't sleep with us cuz he would wake her up in the middle of the night and he was gonna have stinky diapers lol and so far it has worked.. ur not alone with them waking up at that hour

@juliemboyd well I read that a little wrong lol

@apursley9 lol...I'm glad it's been working out for you! I'm happy to know I'm not alone. He just doesn't get the concept still. He comes into my room and wakes me up and then I'll have to walk him back to his room. This happens 2 or 3 times a night. I wake up exhausted, or I don't wake up at all and we miss his bus. It's terrible. My 2 yr old does much better than he does in the sleeping and it's kind of concerning to me. His wake-ups turn into full blown tantrums most nights and we live in an apartment that has a noise limitation of 11pm. After such time, making too much noise will get us kicked out or cops called. I would let him climb in the bed with us, but that always starts fights with their dad bc we have no room and he squirms so much. I'm just so tired.

@juliemboyd maybe a toddler bed beside urs?

@apursley9 there's no room 😶

My daughter already sleeps in a toddler bed in our room and she needs a bigger bed, he can't fit those anymore. We're planning on getting a king bed soon, so maybe that'll help. I really miss sleeping

@juliemboyd king size bed was a blessing for us we went from a full to a King and it helped tremendously when she was sleeping with us and she sleep sideways put her head on his chest and put her feet and legs over my stomach it was horrible I'm so glad it's over but now we have this king size bed of emptiness I'm sure and the future the littlest one will be sleeping with us to even though I say he is not now cuz I don't want to start that over again
