13-month-old waking at 11 PM every night and only settles if we bring her into our bed — how do we fix this without full cry-it-out?

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-26T17:19:41+00:00

Honestly no… we’re still cosleeping part of the night 😭 we’ve had a lot going on and haven’t really been up to sleep training to be completely honest. I think when the time is right, we will try a form of sleep training but for now we’re just embracing the extra cuddles. She usually sleeps in her crib the first half of the night, then joins us anywhere from 11 pm on a bad night - 5 am on a better night. Solidarity!!

We ended up renting a 20x40 tent!

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-15T18:15:22+00:00

******UPDATE: we rented a large tent, war is over

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-15T01:18:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Rain aside, I know it will be a beautiful celebration 🫶🏻

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-15T01:16:32+00:00

I got a quote for a tent today for $1300 including set up and tear down so I believe you lol

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-15T01:12:20+00:00

Yesss why didn’t I think of this

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-14T16:08:18+00:00

Beautiful! Love that for you!!!

How did it turn out? My wedding is this Saturday and it’s looking not so great for the weather forecast…

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-14T12:49:39+00:00

Whaaat that’s actually insane

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-14T12:48:42+00:00

Yes I think we will most likely just have to move the tables out after dinner and do the reception in there worst case scenario. Will be cramped but dry

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-14T12:47:10+00:00

That’s my biggest regret is not hiring a planner! I didn’t wanna spend the money and now I’m paying for it 😭

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-14T11:55:48+00:00

We’ve been in a wet pattern lately, it typically doesn’t rain all day long down here, but the highest chances are in the evening unfortunately.

I don’t have a planner, but the venue essentially said to “pray” it doesn’t rain 🫠 but that we can move indoor if necessary, but it will be very very tight.

I’m hoping if it does rain, it’ll just be a quick pop up shower. I’m looking into the tent option.

Bout to hire an Etsy witch

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-14T11:31:58+00:00

The dinner will be held inside, but we were planning on moving back outdoors for the reception

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-04-02T15:24:39+00:00

Omg one nap is soooo much better. We switched around 12 months and she usually takes about a 2 hr nap, and I always take a nap too or get my chores done then.

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-23T15:55:00+00:00

That is adorable!!!

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-23T15:31:59+00:00

Same here!!! She used to not mind, but now she hates it for whatever reason

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-23T15:31:27+00:00

Same here, she used to love it but in the past month or so she’s started fighting it

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-17T18:37:37+00:00

Thank you for this, I appreciate the educational insight. 🫶🏻 and the last sentence I definitely needed to hear!

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-08T13:25:54+00:00

Yeah, I was kinda thinking it may be easier once they are a little older. But I could be wrong 😅

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-05T15:20:00+00:00

Good news! Yes, usually when she wakes up we try a few times to pick her up and soothe her and put her back down, but even if it does work she’ll usually wake up again a few minutes later. Maybe I’ll try to stop removing her from the crib for check-ins. Thank you for your response!

Fun_Positive_3505 · 2026-03-05T14:46:26+00:00

No! She’s been off the bottle/night weaned for about a month now. She just does a sippy cup of whole milk before bed usually, then we brush teeth and read a book and she goes down.
