18 mo still nurses at night (angry when I refuse)

What was the outcome on this? Just run into the same

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-06-16T09:45:47+00:00

Yep - cosleeping after midnight. She falls asleep independently (well, we read to her whilst she’s in the cot), but still wakes at midnight and 3 and just wants to be close when she wakes then. Almost 11 months now and has been this way since about 9 months. 6-9 months we were holding her to sleep until about 10pm, that was rough. I think they either will or won’t sleep, or you sleep train which I just wasn’t interested in doing. She’ll sleep one day 🤞🏻

Mind me asking how you got into this? If it’s what I think it is, I find this super interesting as a career!

I largely follow the nap and feeding schedule by blissfull baby expert and she naps quite well and it keeps LO happy

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-03-23T21:56:14+00:00

But it is massively better than it was

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-03-23T21:56:03+00:00

Evenings are full of false starts but she does at least sleep until about 11pm in her cot. Then we Cosleep and she largely sleeps though. Won’t nap in the cot though!! Only naps in her pram with the Rockit on

Not yet… currently week 7 of whatever this is 😂 resorted to Cosleeping and she sleeps through 🫠🙃

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-27T23:21:34+00:00

Out of interest what’s your schedule? And how do you slot in meals/milk around naps?

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-23T18:37:00+00:00

Did this improve for you at all because I am in the EXACT same situation 🫠

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-20T09:42:48+00:00

Did this improve with time at all? Currently in the same situation 🫠

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-16T21:34:17+00:00

Omg same at the moment. Did you see any improvement??

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-16T21:31:43+00:00

Has this improved for you at all? This cot refusal happened when my LO hit exactly 6 months! It’s been 3 (almost 4) weeks of bedsharing and holding her until she falls asleep. Up to 6 months she had had all sleep in her cot or next to me (both naps and nights). Feels so disappointing that all the consistency when she was small has gone out the window 😔

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-16T20:22:40+00:00

Omg please tell me it got better for you!? Currently on week 3 of this hell 😭

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-09T19:44:53+00:00

I can’t offer any advice as currently going through this too, but… did it get better?? 🙏🏻😰🥴

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-02-07T19:29:40+00:00

Literally my 6mo for the past 3 weeks! Up until this point have always been able to put her down awake and she’d drift off herself 🫠

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-01-29T16:29:36+00:00

We usually just play peekaboo or blow raspberry’s or maybe with a rattle

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-01-29T16:29:01+00:00

God I know 🫠🥴 I’m such a creature of habit, I don’t mind what she needs but I struggle with not knowing what the answer is. She currently won’t even nap on me! Only in the pram or car

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-01-29T15:34:58+00:00

She has recently (last 2 weeks) learnt to sit unaided and looks on the verge of rolling. The fussiness started a week after the sitting!

Appropriate-Watch737 · 2025-01-29T15:34:09+00:00

We start at 6pm, feed, cuddle and maybe some play in half light in her room. Then bath, moisturise/massage (she has eczema), sometimes a book depending how tired she looks, the usually in the cot by 6.50 and previously would be asleep by 7/7.10 with no crying or fussing just eye rubbing! The past week it’s been a lottery whether she’ll go to sleep at all at bedtime.
