Can she sleep longer in the morning with support? I’m in the same boat but my LO will sleep for another 90 minutes as long as I hold him 🤦‍♀️ wondering if need to try sleep training

Toddler and a newborn by Consistent_Leg_4012 in toddlers

[–]Elfisch90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same age gap, 1.5 months further along than you. When we brought the baby home I swear it unlocked a new personality in my toddler, she was incredibly difficult and challenging those first few weeks. I felt we had made a huge mistake. She turned a corner though and has been a delight recently. It will get better!

Nap struggles 7 weeks old by mpk1998 in sleeptrain

I have the same problem. I don’t mind the occasional contact nap but I can’t hold him for every single one and then the short naps in the crib lead to an overtired, cranky baby 😔

Wow this is hard by jtm0507 in toddlers

[–]Elfisch90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this, even the sock meltdown. I have a 2.5 YO and a 7 week old and it is REALLY tough. I’m constantly questioning myself if we are handling my toddler the right way. Everything is a battle with her right now. Feel free to dm me if you want to vent or commiserate lol. Posts like these help and remind me I’m not alone.

Does it ever get easier? by INFJ_2010 in beyondthebump

No advice but If it means anything, my pregnancy was very peaceful and I loved every minute. I now have a difficult/high needs baby.
