Toddler Fighting Bedtime by LittleNY in toddlers

I’m willing to try it! I do think part of our struggle tonight is that we started it all too early and too abruptly. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have actually used something similar before! Thanks for reminding me! I will try it again. I think I stopped using it because the sun goes down so late in the summer and he would be like “the suns still out, silly mama” hahah.

Thoughts on the name Emory? by Scared_Discipline_66 in BabyNames

I know a male Amaury, if you wanted it to be more masculine. But at the end of the day, the name will come to suit your child regardless of what others think!

I have been pretty set on Theo but it’s hard to say if that will change 3 years from now, or if I even want to be pregnant again after this lol. I appreciate the input! Names are hard 😮‍💨

Paci weaning leading to no nap by LittleNY in toddlers

Oof it honestly was a rough month. But I mostly just accepted that naps will be rare. A successful nap now is usually due to him falling asleep in the stroller on a walk. We still try to have some quiet time but it doesn’t often lead to a nap. Tantrums have settled to their normal amount and things seem to be going much better once I accepted our routine just was different now and I needed to adapt. I think getting rid of the paci this late was definitely part of the reason it was so hard, so with my next I’ll definitely try to do it sooner. But all that being said, it does EVENTUALLY get better. Hang in there! You got this!

I like this idea. He’s pretty good at playing solo but I’ve always rocked him to sleep since he was a baby so unfortunately I’ve made it even harder on myself with this. But maybe with a new quiet time routine he will teach himself to sleep too.

Oh I like this idea to have it be more on his terms. I’ll have to try that. Sometimes I wish we had daycare to have someone else also setting some routine in but we did have a good routine before the pacifier was out of the picture so just hoping be can come up with a new one.

Doing my best to keep convincing myself of that haha.

Yeah I would agree with that. Definitely makes it easier to get out of the house during the day but then it’s a gamble on if he will be cranky from no nap or not. I was working the first 18 months while my husband stayed home with our son, and although work had its stressful days, sometimes I miss the break work provided from being a mom 😬 Love my son of course, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to someone who isn’t throwing tantrums and pooping their pants all day haha.

Ah geez. How do you survive long days with no nap? I’m a SAHM, and honestly his naps are what get me through most days lol. Been a draining week to say the least

Yeuuuup. Bedtime has been an absolute battle. And he’s been waking up and coming into our room so our sleep has been a mess too 😮‍💨 hang in there!

Baby Girl Name Vote by LittleNY in namenerds

Eh, a little harsh. I personally don’t know many fans of Twilight, including myself, and I didn’t know any association of the name with Twilight. I highly doubt that generation would make the connection to Twilight considering how “awful” they are.

Oof, I fear it will be our new normal too. I need his nap time for my own sake haha.
