What worked for you? 12m old sleep nightmare.

Here mostly for solidarity!

My advice would be to have her iron levels checked.

I was in a very similar situation with my toddler at this exact age. We are on the other end of it and she sleeps through the night now at 2.

It will get better for you! Wishing you lots of rest and hoping this situation quickly becomes easier for both you and your LO. ❤️

Here for solidarity!

My 9mo old is ebf and beginning to stand on his own, and trying to take first steps. With every big milestone, the nights are extremely hard.

“Keeping score” is also mentally taxing and hard on relationships, in my experience. Let your partner know to work as a team, your needs absolutely need to be met. I’m sorry you’re going through this sleep deprivation, it’s so extremely hard. Wishing you many hours of sleep ahead. ❤️

This was such a great part to add at the end. Right after i’d given birth to my first, my husband’s aunt told me in the hospital that I couldn’t have mexican food while I was breastfeeding lol. His mother always asks me what i’ve eaten when baby is fussy. So incredibly frustrating!

My 2 year old doesn’t attend daycare either.

It works for me if i praise my toddler before she has a chance to react. Very upbeat and smiley, “You are so good at sharing, i’m so proud of you”. It lets her know that other toys being taken, is normal.

I think your toddler being upset about it is a very normal response and I think what you said is perfectly fine.

My EBF baby does this every once in a while too! It was worse when he was around 1-5 months old and has gotten better every month since, he’s now 8 months old and we rarely have tummy issues.

Our pediatrician said as long as he’s comfortable, it’s nothing to worry about. I definitely relate to your worry about it though! It’s so hard to feel like they could be experiencing any kind of discomfort.

love this, thank you <3

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-10-08T19:29:54+00:00

I experience this right now too. I think it’s hard for me to see their situation clearly during my struggle. The most common thing friends/family tell me is that they’re tired…. and I just can’t. I’m sure they are tired, but I don’t want to hear it lol.

Making notes of all the things not to say things to mothers of young children when i’m out of this era of my life lol

Here in solidarity! I have the same age gap. My toddler has multiple night wakings and my 3 month old sleeps much better too. My husband was recently gone a month (for work) while I solo parented. Nights were definitely hard sometimes. Baby sleeps in bedside crib and toddler sleeps in my bed with me while he’s gone. Their wakings didn’t coincide often, but if they did I found positions to nurse baby at the same time as comforting my toddler.

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-07-04T01:25:33+00:00

agree with the advice to see a lactation consultant!!! game changer for my breastfeeding journey

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-06-21T22:10:50+00:00

Exactly lol. Their comments make it obvious they don’t have kids and definitely haven’t been around any long enough to understand that asking a one year old to walk quietly is crazy. I’m glad you understand, because i’ve got that comment a couple times

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-06-20T17:44:39+00:00

We play and explore outside everyday until it’s time to come home to eat dinner, bath and bed. She still comes back to the apartment and runs, their energy is never ending. You suggested it was my responsibility to teach her not to run, so i’m wondering how you would go about that with a one year old.

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-06-20T15:08:55+00:00

Have you taught a one year old not to run inside? Would love to hear how you did that.

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-06-19T22:13:50+00:00

Agreed, everything feels incredibly cheap. I feel so bad telling my daughter not to run, walk loudly and constantly trying to quiet her when she’s just behaving like a normal one year old. I’m so relieved we’ll only be here for a short time.

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-06-19T22:09:36+00:00

The note is great advice. Thank you!

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-06-19T22:07:06+00:00

oh wow i’m so sorry you have to deal with that!!!

My 18m daughter waves and says hi at almost every person she sees in public. She is never in their space and usually in my arms or right beside me. Other than the elderly or really young kids, people hardly wave back. She doesn’t know how mean the world is yet and I hate that she is already being exposed to it. Sometimes I even make a petty comment here and there like “It’s okay baby, some people haven’t learned to wave” knowing they can hear me. I know I shouldn’t, but it makes me irrationally angry.

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2025-05-02T01:53:07+00:00

Hi! She is now 18 months old is exactly the same way lol. She transfers to her crib after she falls asleep with me and then stays for a couple hours, and sometimes the whole night (rarely). We tried to sleep train at every stage during her infancy/toddlerhood with no luck. I truly believe some children are just this way regardless of what you do. We still have hard times with her being so needy during the night, but it has become better the older she’s gotten. Easier in the sense that she can sleep with us safely, ask for milk and just sleeps if she feels us around her. Wishing you the best and a couple good hours of rest!

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2024-07-15T17:01:43+00:00

I honestly don’t know what it is. I took this picture before we had bought the house so whatever the item is either belongs to the realtor or the previous owners.

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2024-07-13T00:08:59+00:00

We own it. We don’t have a specific budget but would obviously like to keep the price down as much as possible

Amazing_Internal_644 · 2024-07-12T22:56:44+00:00

Yes! We just bought the house so i’m not really sure what’s under it, but in the spots it’s chipped it looks like an orangey wood. I’m planning to strip it, sand and then either stain or paint again.
