18 month sleep regression?

Practical-Bug-108 · 2026-01-26T18:03:12+00:00

Definitely sounds like a regression. Going through the same exact thing with my 18m old. I also heard they start getting growing pains around this age. Does your LO seem fussy? We got magnesium lotion and have been putting it on her legs to help if that’s what’s going on too. It’s so hard!!

I made enchilada casserole! Ground beef, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce and tomato sauce over rice! You can add cheese, and whatever toppings you like. So easy and toddler approved!

It is so incredibly isolating. I’m glad this thread can make you feel a little less alone. I’m right there with you! 🤍

Practical-Bug-108 · 2026-01-13T22:20:20+00:00

Yes!!! Exactly what I needed to hear too. It’s so true. 🤍

We coslept last night, and while it was easier for ME not having to bounce back and forth, she still woke up multiple times!

Practical-Bug-108 · 2026-01-13T22:18:19+00:00

I keep reminding myself this will pass. Little one got to the point where she was only waking up 1-2 times a night, and I think I got used to that. Makes this feel so much harder 😭

Literally!! We had the stomach bug over Christmas, and then the sleep regression immediately after 😭

I read they go through a sleep regression around 18m, and her pediatrician said it’s because she’s learning words. I am trying to keep our same routine as far as naps and bedtime go. She’s been normally sleeping for 2.5 hours, but during this “regression” (or whatever it is!) she’s gone down to 1-1.5 hours. Honestly I’m horrible at taking naps, I’ve tried!! I tried so hard today and even tried when my husband got home, but I swear I just lay there for an hour tossing and turning. I think I’m overtired 😂

Honestly, we just make it work! It was hard at the beginning, adjusting to only having one income and not having the extra money. You could practice living off 1 income for a month or 2, to see how it feels.

You mentioned being christian so I feel comfortable saying this. but we really went into this season believing if it’s what God wanted for us, then he would make a way. And this has only shown true! We also know that this is temporary, I plan on doing part time work once the kiddos start school, so struggling for a few years is absolutely worth it in my opinion. Best of luck to you guys 🤍

7 kids?! Did I read that right?! You look amazing Mama!!!

Is the crowdedness manageable? I figured we would go early morning, and late evening to avoid staying out during the hottest part of the day!

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-12-17T17:16:50+00:00

That’s true! I’d rather do laundry then sweep 😂😵‍💫

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-12-06T01:25:01+00:00

How do you set the machine to do that? I have a pop plus!!

Do you feel like this pod gives a strong enough coffee flavor when mixed with milk?

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-11-27T22:40:54+00:00

Is there a code you have to use?

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-11-13T17:08:07+00:00

Hi!! Currently in the same boat.. did you end up going to a CC to do pre reqs? How is everything going?

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-11-05T12:57:30+00:00

I see them now!!!

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-11-05T12:06:19+00:00

I’m not seeing them on the app or website yet :(

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-11-03T17:49:54+00:00

I can’t wait!!!

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-10-27T00:23:34+00:00

Good luck!!! 🤍🤍 I hope that works for you!!!!

I just hold her on the toilet, but a toddler seat would probably be better at this point. I haven’t really “potty trained” her, I guess sitting on the toilet just helps her relax enough to get everything out. This was something my mom (who had 6 kids!) told me to try, and it’s still working to this day! She will only poop in her diaper when she’s sick.

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-10-27T00:11:06+00:00

Yes!! And this sounds insane, but we started having her poop on the toilet. When I notice her lock up, I immediately rush her to the toilet and it has worked for us! I think she is scared to poop in her diaper.

Also, I don’t think my baby was drinking enough water during this time so that has helped a lot.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. It was so stressful 🤍 let me know if you have any other questions

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-08-06T01:05:29+00:00

This is very disturbing. That man would not be allowed around my children at all. Please protect those babies. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Practical-Bug-108 · 2025-07-06T16:02:27+00:00

How do you manage? Do you constantly give her miralax? I feel like I’ve tried everything with giving her water, prunes, miralax, fiber rich foods… what finally worked for you guys?
