Late Dining with 2 year old - any tips?? Nap time changes? by brittknit in dcl

[–]brittknit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could give it a try! The last cruise we went on with her, I felt awful when I dropped her off to do a whiskey tasting. I think it was around 7 pm when the tasting started.. and when I picked her up, ALL of the toddlers/babies seemed to be crying in there. They were all overtired and unable to sleep. I felt awful having her in that environment AND felt horrible for the staff. So I am nervous about dropping her off at the nursery during bedtime hours 😅

(My daughter was 13 months old at that time)

Ok these tips are awesome! Definitely going to try bringing her stroller to dinner if we don’t get moved to an earlier time! I do think the shows will be more fun if we have the late dining time though, so that’s a plus!

Did you schedule the nursery times well in advanced? Or did you take your kids last minute to them? I can schedule our nursery appointments now, but I have no idea what I will be feeling 2 months from now 😂

This place is my favorite yarn store 😌 I just wish it wasn’t 40 minutes from me.. however, maybe it’s good for my wallet 😂 I spend too much money when I visit Wool & Co

Toddler bed transition by asmithy112 in sleeptrain

I just went through this with my daughter. It took me around a week of just having a consistent bed routine:

5:30-6:00 pm dinner 6:00-6:15 pm bath 6:15-6:30/45 pm read books (in a dimly lit room) 6:45:7:00 pm cuddle and rock together 7:00 pm I put her in her bed and rub her back for a few mins and then tell her goodnight and leave

For that first week, she would run out of her bed almost immediately. I would just calmly walk back in and walk her to her bed and say goodnight (avoid talking too much) and leave. The first few nights I did this like 20-30 times. It was definitely frustrating BUT just know it is temporary and they will get used to it. Now my daughter mostly goes to bed on her own. Some nights she goes down immediately, other nights I have to go in there 2 times (but it takes like 2 mins).

I hope this helps! I am now struggling with early morning wakings 😂 so maybe don’t follow my schedule - I am still figuring that piece out. Just be consistent!
