@sarahbethk thank you that means a lot this is all new for me so every new stage she goes through is a new stage for me to she is my first so I am trying my best to do all I can to do what is good for her

@colh416, I totally understand lol I think the 12-18 month stage is rough bc they can’t tell you what they want yet but have very strong opinions. Just ride it out with her, be there in her room with her for comfort and then if it gets to be too frequent sleep train or work on a different routine, but for now she just may need some extra mommy.

She is my first child so like I said it's so hard to know if I'm doing the right thing or if I should be doing more

@sarahbethk lol than that's what I will do I was just so lost at what to do because it seem like she was getting so upset I feel like an idiot sometimes for not realizing these little things but thank you sometimes I just need someone to give me the answer

@capsgirl87 thank you that helps a lot I really wanted to co sleep but of coarse my daughter's dad was so against it but I have had her doing great sleeping on her own and all night that's why this was so out of the blue for me and I know there are so many methods and it's so hard to tell what is right and what is wrong but I take care of my daughter all on my own she dosen t get babysat much and her dad really dose not help me so I stress out if I'm doing the right thing a lot I want to be the best mom I can be

@colh416, I just wouldn’t leave the room then honestly lol I would just spend the night in there

@sarahbethk thank you it's not a big deal I just cannot get her to stay asleep I have stayed in her room for hours and she still gets up no matter what whenever I get up to leave the room

Sleeping in general for babies her age is a roller coaster, sometimes it’s good sometimes it’s bad. But you have to ride out the bad whatever way you can while comforting your child. If that means you sleep in her room on the floor next to her for a night because she’s uncomfortable so be it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not sure why it’s a big deal to stay in her room.

Oh and if it don’t pat his back to sleep and I just go in and comfort him and then put him down, he gets very upset. That’s why I did sleep association

My son is 15 months and he rarely sleeps through the night. He will nurse one time throughout the night. Instead of having his CIO, I started sleep association. I go in, turn his musical giraffe on, give him his paci and a quick hug, lay him down, cover with his blanket and pat his bottom until he falls back to sleep. It took about a week, but now he’s usually back to sleep within a few minutes. Sometimes we do end up cosleeping just because he’s having a rough night. As long as you do it safely, cosleeping is fine - no blankets or pillows.

When we cosleep, I have my body pillow up against the headboard so that just the bottom is on the bed, my other two pillows are on my side of the bed for me. He sleeps either in the crook of my arm or on the bed next to me with his blanket on him. I can cover myself with my blankets due to him being higher up than I would be. It’s been proven that you are actually more aware of your baby when you cosleep and that they sleep better too. It’s true. Whenever we cosleep he sleeps all night

@modom16 I'm not sure what you're situation is like my daughter sleeps through the night we do not co-sleep and I do not ever let my daughter be in any type of distress at all but she is not use to me staying in her room at night so when I do go in it makes her more stimulated to where she dose not want to let me leave the room and I was trying to see if maybe somebody who has a 16 month old experienced that ever that's all

@modom16 yeah I completely understand what you are saying but I was trying to see if anybody could understand when your child becomes more restless and upset when you try to leave the room every baby is different and it would be a very long night if I continue to calm her down and the second I move to leave the room she will just continue to get upset

@colh416, I’m on my daughters floor right now, I’d rather sacrifice my comfort than have my baby crying out for me and not going to her. I know it’s hard but it’s only temporary.

@modom16 and I gave her Tylenol because she was warm and she is still teething

@lpheartsyou unfortunately that's what I had to do because it just seems like it just gets her that much more upset when I go in her room and hold her after I tyred to leave the room she just gets so much more upset and I tryed to co sleep before but her dad wont have it he thinks it's to dangerous so it's to hard to think of what to do unless I lay on her floor or somthing

@modom16 I did hold her and she has woke up before usually she will cry a bit and just fall right back to sleep on her own because she is older now so she sleeps through the night but it just seems like every time I do go in to comfort her it just makes it worse when I try to leave her room

Why did you give Tylenol? Has your baby never woken up in the middle of the night? So many questions..

I’d just bring her in bed with you or at least hold her for a while. Don’t just let her cry.
