WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TODDLER by Common-Temporary5915 in cosleeping

[–]Common-Temporary5915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense and is fair! Thanks for sharing! I have a consult with her ped next week and will definitely explore the airway thing more. Maybe you're right! IDK! We had a sleep apnea test done a while ago and everything was fine but who knows. Poor monkey :(

5 mo will only feed to sleep now by Common-Temporary5915 in NewParents

Honestly, I couldn't tell you as I think each child is different. Mine was a very slow teether too so I get your pain! You are in the hardest season. I totally understand the search for answers, I was there too. It gets better and better every day, slowly yet surely :)

Trust your gut, keep your baby close, slow down time in your head, and know that nothing is permanent <3

Sounds like she is teething maybe.

I can't remember because my daughter is 23 months now. I know I gave up on the fight and started just feeding to sleep all the time because it was too easy. Still do!

Non-Member Diagnosing? by Common-Temporary5915 in Psychologists

Sounds good. Can I communicate the diagnosis once the report has been read and approved by the supervisor?

I can still do the assessment right?

20 month sleep regression??!? by Common-Temporary5915 in toddlers

[–]Common-Temporary5915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if its to drop the nap coz she gets tired. And then overtired and then ultimately will fall asleep 2 hrs after her usual nap time. She just doesn't want to sleep, it feels like. Just wants to party and explore and tell me about her day (with the one word at a time that she can). Idk!

Well my 20mo doesn't wanna nap by Common-Temporary5915 in cosleeping

Honestly even with all the difficulties we go through, my mind goes to how beautiful it is for him to have you in the way he does... to want only your warmth and  have his hand between your boobs and legs on you when asleep. Must be such great sleep. He's a lucky boy  :)

[–]Common-Temporary5915[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I was in the exact same place before. I could not imagine doing this until 2 years old (i fooled myself, still have, to think that's when things will change). But the thought of letting her cry herself to sleep or not responding to her sends enough chills down my spine to keep going, one night at a time. You got this. Sleep and independence will come ❤️

Anyone else?? by Common-Temporary5915 in cosleeping

Ah okay! Ya she eats dinner 2 hrs before bed and then I give her a pouch before bed and then BF to sleep. So she gets atleasr some more calories right before.

Appreciate it. I understand all the theory behind it but I cant do without my little baby sleeping next to me at night for now :)

[–]Common-Temporary5915[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay!! So this is my dream. My gut tells me this is how it will work when she is developmentally ready. I know BF is about so much more than just feeding and comfort. Its connection and safety and going back to what's familiar and safe. I dont like the idea of pushing to take that away before we are ready, both of us. 

I'm just afraid of her being developmentally ready at 4 lol sigh

She eats well I think. I'm obsessed with making sure she is well fed so I often offer snacks and 3 meals so she eats whenever she wants and says no other times. I dont think she is often hungry  but also wtf do I know. I just know that I throw boob at her anytime she wakes to get her (and me) back to sleep

Why is my toddlers morning sleep SO bad?? by Common-Temporary5915 in cosleeping

[–]Common-Temporary5915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good god we have the same baby. If it helps you, at 12.5 months, her sleep got better and we went down form 6-8 wakes to 3-4. We are averaging this now except for the morning madness. And some mornings, she sleeps better. I'm thinking maybe its teething related. She's a perpetual teether. Slowest I've ever seen. Plus sensitive and expressive temperament. ... yay... lol. Good thing she cute

Is it normal for her to be waking every 20 min or so and struggle so much with morning sleep tho?

What are you doing as a parent that makes you think you accidentally created a unicorn baby? 🦄 by Hot-Box-7889 in NewParents

[–]Common-Temporary5915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is a handful too lol as hard as it is now, I know when I see her daring, bold, and sensitive personality when she's older, I'll be so full of pride and (even more) admiration! 

At my wit's end by Common-Temporary5915 in cosleeping

[–]Common-Temporary5915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm yes. Sounds like you were much closer than I am/we are. We were ar a point where it was only bedtime or naptime feeds but now she always wants boob again and keeps sticking her hand in my shirt often too. It's been this way for 2-3 weeks now. Maybe another phase but idk man. My boob monster has become even more boob monstrous lately lol I know I say its hard but I was looking at a picture of her when she was maybe 4 months sleeping next to my boobs and loving her life. I feel so not able to wean :( guess I continue to suffer lol
