My son will be 2 this week. Here lately sleep has become the biggest battle. I am at my wits end and don’t know what to do!! I have tried shortening naps, redoing our nighttime routine, even having him come lay with me. Nothing is working and I don’t know what to do! He just screams and screams. Picture of my usually sweet, bedtime hating babe for attention.
Any toddler bedtime tricks or tips would be so greatly appreciated!!
@ashley.sheeks aww! The only other thing I can think of is co sleep but I wouldn't recommend that lol! Idk mamas that's a tough one
@misscoco, yes he eats good! And I’ve tried that too. I bought one on amazon and we love it but the way the plugs are set in his room, he unplugs it and tries to play with it. 🙄
@ashley.sheeks it is definately a phase. I went through the same thing. Does he eat really good for you for dinner? We also put a mobile in her room that plays lullabies and projects stars on the ceiling. That helped too
@misscoco, I tried that! But then he was just so overly tired at bedtime it made it even worse 😰
I cut out naps completely and make sure she has a full belly, milk before bed. Bed time is 8:30 or 9 over here
We do a little lavender oil on our toddler when she needs to wind down. We also started a sippy cup with warm milk before bed. She didn't need any of this until she turned 2 1/2. I think it's a phase but sometimes they need something to help their senses shut off too.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
So I don’t think I will keep this pregnancy and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
Question 🙋🏽♀️: what age do you allow your kids to have a cell phone?
My son wants a phone and I don’t know why lol. I’m like you have a iPad for games and anyone you need to call you can have my phone.
Y’all there is a lizard in my house and I don’t know what to do!!!
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
Do you do bath before bed? You can try getting lavender bubbles or lavender scented shampoo. Maybe try dimming the lights after bath and before you put him into bed? I lotion my toddler up right after bath while he brushes his teeth and then I put on his pjs. Does he enjoy being read to? I usually end it with a book and then lay him in his crib. Some nights he knocks right out but some nights I hear him talking to himself and jumping around. But he eventually lays down and goes to sleep shortly after. I also have a little owl that lights up and plays music and I have that playing on his nightstand. Hopefully this phase passes quickly! I think our babies are days apart 😊 my son will be 2 this upcoming Sunday
