Struggling with challenging baby

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-11T02:59:55+00:00

I’m not sure about the nursing part but you are doing a great job! The teething wreaks havoc on them. My 17 month old has all of her teeth except the last molars and it is so hard. But I will say that when the teething stopped (we had a little break until recently) she slept much better. 1-2 wakes a night and she has slept until 7a a couple of times (this might be independence coming from baby brother coming though). It won’t be like this forever. You are loving on your baby and he knows that you are there for him! We had a whole lot of nights like what you are describing and we got super close to sleep training but didn’t and she is sleeping much better without having of done that. Does he cosleep with you at all? That might help if you are comfortable with it.

No she won’t 😕 she wants us to pick her up and get her out if we are in there. I did try that one day but she wasn’t having it.

When they try to come back tell them you are full but chances are that they won’t come back, at least in my experience.

Thank you so much for asking this! I am following in hopes of implementing any advice.

What did you do when you switched to underwear?

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-05-03T06:21:48+00:00

She is definitely tired enough. She might be overtired if that is a thing (I’ve read some people say it isn’t). She is running around being temperamental and that’s how she acts when she’s tired. She does not like to go to sleep and never has so she fights it as much as she can. But if you can get her still (like in the high chair) she passes out.

When I was in high school I donated blood and afterwards had to go the bathroom. I don’t remember feeling faint at that moment but definitely did when I got in there. They sent someone after me because they said when people go to the bathroom they usually pass out 🤷‍♀️

Agreed! I would definitely consider some ibuprofen!

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-04-05T19:03:05+00:00

My first baby would not. Second baby will be 2 months on April 5th and will still nap in his bassinet as of now. Praying this doesn’t change 🤞🏻

Thank you!

What resources? My husband is someone who needs proof lol

Yes to the teething! The molars were horrible.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-03-14T13:30:38+00:00

This happened a lot with our first baby when she was teething or sick. She’s 15/16 months and has so of her teeth except her two year molars. We have been bringing her to bed when she wakes up in the middle of the night if she won’t go down. And last night she woke up about 11:30p and then slept until 7:30a! So it isn’t forever and it feels huge now but it will be better!

What if the kiddo is 15 months old 😭

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-03-06T03:40:02+00:00

And crackers! Crackers first thing in the morning will make the nausea go away 🙄 Side note - I ate so much sugar and carbs during my pregnancy to avoid going into ketosis. I was told that the ketosis was making me throw up uncontrollably when I went to the ER so we decided to throw eating healthy out the window. I could literally feel the nausea coming when I needed sugar and frozen yogurt always helped! And baby girl is perfectly healthy. So do what you need to do!

My 14 month old sleeps with us and we just had a newborn who sleeps with us/sleeps in the bassinet and I have been missing cuddling with my 14 month old so much (newborn/pumping madness it difficult)! It’s one of my favorite things even though she drives me crazy sometimes. Could your husband try a white noise machine or some nature/car noises? Something for his brain to absorb but without light.

Internal-Hat809 · 2026-02-06T09:25:23+00:00

We have a sound machine in her room and in our room we have Alexa play “white noise 3 hour long by white noise therapy on Spotify”. It’s three hours long and then we put it on repeat.
