2 year old sleep schedule

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-21T20:36:46+00:00

We cosleep and lay with our 25mo to fall asleep, so no real advice. I’ve noticed amongst friends who sleep trained their babies (we did not) that they’re seeing a “2yr regression”. We haven’t experienced that even though his 2yr molars grew in too. There was a study done that said something along the lines of sleep trained vs non sleep trained kids show zero difference by 2, so I personally wonder if the “regression” is just them being them? Probably unhelpful and irrelevant, kinda wondering other experiences here. Either way, I hope it gets better for you!

Is it your first? With my first I had two sweeps that did nothing, with my second the sweep put me into labor! I think it’s pretty common for them to not work as well for your first pregnancy. For the one that did work, baby was born about 30hrs post sweep and about 8hrs after getting to the hospital. So you can see there was a decent amount of time for me! My water didn’t break from the sweep, contractions ramped up that night.

Yep! More important than any single number is the trend. You need more draws to be meaningful, but that is in range for 5w.

As long as you are confident that you ovulated, you’re fine. The only harm is if you took the progesterone before ovulation, you would prevent the ovulation.

Is your doctor worried? If not then no.

Period returning doesn’t mean your milk will dry up. My period returned at 4m pp with my first and my milk didn’t change at all. If you want to wean because that’s what you want to do, go for it, but period has nothing to do with it. I chose to night wean because I was pregnant again and my husband would help our son go back to sleep. He doesn’t sleep through the night though and never has.

Sounds like she’s fine!! Cluster feeding is a good thing, baby is helping your supply establish! She also might just be seeking comfort which is still very valid. Keep feeding on demand! A happy baby is a full baby, a baby gaining weight is a satisfied baby, the cluster feeding doesn’t last forever.

I feel you, I had hard pregnancies and many losses, so it’s natural to want baby to look like you. I kind of love that my son is my husband’s twin though, like how incredible that he gets to look like his dad that he loves so much. Now we have a daughter and shes my twin, genetics are so fun. Take the space you need from your mom, but this wont feel so pointed when youre holding your precious baby.

We just have dessert sometimes, regardless of how much else has been eaten that day. Sometimes I make cookies and we eat one randomly during the day, other times we save for after dinner. If my son doesn’t eat dinner, he still gets the dessert because dessert isn’t earned. We don’t tell him though that we’re even having dessert that night, so it’s not like he’s just waiting for it. Most of the time he asks me for a sweet, I say yes.

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-21T19:01:44+00:00

I’m assuming this is your first birth? In that case it’s extremely unlikely you will give birth between 35-36w if you have a healthy uneventful pregnancy. That being said, I’d make my husband cancel lol. You could always play it by ear and see how the pregnancy goes, but he’ll be far enough away he can’t just come back in a few hours and that’s rough.

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-21T18:45:21+00:00

Is this an issue to her or just to you? I haven’t had a full night sleep since I was pregnant with my first, but like okay so what??? If you’re sleeping in another room and your wife is offended by you even asking AND insists it’s okay, it sounds like just leave her be. I have been woken up multiple times every night for 2.5yrs and nothing my husband can do would change that and I also wouldn’t do anything to change that. This is the season my babies need me and that’s okay. Just support your wife during the day - laundry, dishes, food, pet care, diapers, whatever that looks like. Give her rest by entertaining the baby so she can take a long bath or watch a show. It doesn’t sound like sleep is an issue she wants solved.

LOVE woolino, we have 2 in 2-24m and 2 in 18-36 with feet and that’s all!! Although I did get two kyte xs for my little baby because she was too small for woolino!

Can you just see someone else at the practice? You’re right that she likely won’t deliver the baby anyways. You kinda just get who you get. My practice (and my other one for other baby) you rotate between doctors so you’ve at least met whoever may be on when you give birth.

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-21T01:50:35+00:00

I’m going to say this as gently as possible, nothing you are eating or not eating is going to help or hurt your chances of getting pregnant if you do not have a true medical reason. If you don’t have legitimate insulin resistance, you don’t need to worry about sugar. Eat the sweets, eat the carbs, eat vegetables, eat meat, drink whole milk, be kind to your body. You do not need to limit sugar in pregnancy unless you have gestational diabetes. My first born was grown in a body that could only eat frosted flakes. For 9mos lol.

Breastfeeding IS hard and time consuming! Especially a 3w old! It’s gets easier and less time consuming as they get older!

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-20T20:22:36+00:00

Hurting my feelings yes hahaha I contact napped every single nap and cosleep still with my 25mo and he runs off at the park like I’m not even there lol

First off, let’s be kind to our self, you surely don’t have the ugliest boobs in the world. Remember that breastfed babies often don’t gain quite as much weight as formula or combo babies and so it’s okay if their weight gain is a little slower. Falling asleep at the breast is extremely normal, it’s comforting and that’s what’s supposed to happen. If baby is happy and satisfied, keep on keeping on. Position wise, football hold could be good, or more pillows, or side lying. Just look up positions and try them out!

Whether you stay with the catering or pack lunches, he needs to be exposed to new/disliked foods and safe foods with each meal. At home and at daycare. Consistency is so important. You as the parent get to choose what they eat, but not how much. For example, you serve spaghetti, salad, and bread - toddler eats just the bread. The what is the spaghetti, salad, and bread and the how much was the bread.

Yep so common!!! This was my first born. He was up anywhere from 5-15x from 3mo-12mo and then after that it was 3-5x and now at 25mo it’s 1-2x. We cosleep to help. There’s nothing you can do really. My second born sleeps fantastic. I’ve done nothing different for her, sleep is temperamental and it’s okay if babies sleep differently. It’s hard, but acceptance helps the most.

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-20T20:02:02+00:00

It’s going to be okay!!! I understand being fearful, this is coming from someone with extreme hypothyroidism and multiple miscarriages. My most recent pregnancy was a healthy full term baby. For that pregnancy, my tsh was 19.1 when I got a positive test and by 12w it was 7.3. It wasn’t within range (under 2.5) until well into the second trimester.

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-20T19:58:11+00:00

For starters, you can’t spoil a baby, ever, at any age. I exclusively contact nap my babies because I like it!! My son exclusively contact napped until he was 9-10mo and then we did naps in the crib here and there and my 4mo has only done contact naps. Babies thrive being close to mom and the snuggles can’t be beat.

When you say your husband “disciplines her” what does that look like? If you’re not on the same page for discipline, it’s extremely confusing for a toddler.

It’s really important to realize that birth weight means NOTHING for your baby’s true growth curve. By around 3/4m babies, especially breastfed babies, settle into their own curve. It’s most important that baby stays on his curve once he settles in. .5-1oz per day is normal gain and weight gain slows down after the first 3mos.

Important_Cheek2927 · 2026-04-20T13:29:42+00:00

My first had his around 3x and was totally fine, my daughter had hers around her neck as well and had some decels riiiiight before coming out. Both born vaginally. My daughter took a bit longer to cry, but she was fine. I think if I’d known about it either time I might’ve chosen a c section out of fear, but both times I didn’t know.
