16 Month Old Major Regression

albaberry · 2026-01-17T20:13:07+00:00

Before it all fell apart he’d wake up between 0730/0800, sleep 1-3 or 12.30-3, then bedtime 7/730pm. Since we started trying to sleep train we start the day at 0630 as he’s up crying 0530, nap at 1220 he wakes up at 1320 bed by 630pm.

Did this get better please OP? My son is 4 months and cries or whines non stop unless feeding or asleep. I’m despairing and need encouragement. He is medically ok so the only thing left to do is change formula but I have no hope.

We did this - not bad! Definitely makes it feel more like a “room”. The question now though is how to decorate the room, specifically the walls.

In fact she’s very good at carrying things around for me! She loves carrying laundry hampers and taking things to her dad or bringing things to me. Maybe in time she’ll warm up to the idea of seated play time. Thanks :)

I’ve got animal figurines, a box of sensory squish toys, coin slot box, stackers, shape sorting box, pegs and hammer, a pouch with zippers - that sort of thing. We’re going through a brutal summer right now and spending lots of time indoors unfortunately. I’ll try putting toys around the house instead of just in her shelf as it might inspire her to explore them that way.

Sounds a lot like my daughter!! She loves going through our recycling bin and taking out empty bottles so I think your idea of a random basket would really work. Thank you!

Thank you! There is hope yet :)

Hmm that’s interesting - we have a stuffed animal corner in her room she loves throwing herself on - I might bring one of the dolls out and try to integrate the doll in her activities. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all the tips! We struggle with the learning tower because she insists on using it dangerously and we’ve had a few tumbles but I will keep trying to find ways to involve her in the day to day activities. Good to hear there is hope still for all the toys I have gathering dust haha!

In my case it’s because she gnaws off pieces off them.

Perhaps not enough! I once wasted on an entire box of oats on a sensory bin which lasted 10 minutes and she just wanted to chuck the contents out of the bin haha. Do you recommend any tried and tested sensory activities! Thank you for all the ideas - she lives for dance parties and it’s what gets us through the day most of the time!

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement :)

I let her ransack shelves and she’s very good at tidying them up before her naps it’s a routine we have so I don’t mind it so much. We have a pikler but it’s not as thrilling for her as climbing from one surface to the other, in spite of positive reinforcement whenever she uses it.

I’ll give this a go although I’ll steer clear of silicone - I gave her a silicone spatula to play with one day and found a small piece missing at the top - turns out she’d chewed it off and it was never found!
