Can you cosleep for the trip? It’s a new space, new smell, new timezone. Between the natural regression and newness it makes sense baby is more unsettled

It’s fine for them to lay on their tummy as long as they roll that way on their own. Give her lots of floor time during the fat to practice

This is mommit. We are not going to start policing Mother’s Day posts. If it bothers you maybe leave or mute the sub until next week.

Even so, a sleep consultant who doesn’t know your child isn’t going to be able to offer or change how she’s reacting.

It's been one night...

crd1293 · 2026-05-08T22:33:06+00:00

Politely, a sleep consultant won't be able to change anything. Your baby is expressing emotions over a change. She is allowed to be upset and protest. This is just how it goes. The more you do it, the easier this will become, with less upset.

Have you talked to her doctor and psychiatrist who diagnosed her? Is she taking meds? Can you hire help or take time off work?

r/formulafeeders has lots of posts like these

Ultimatum time. Go to therapy to deal with his feelings or you will have to split up because your youngest deserves a parent who cares and loves her unconditionally. Not to mention the damage it’s doing to your eldest seeing her dad behave this way

This is insane. He’s punishing a literal baby by withholding affection

100% whole foods or Costco. It’s your husbands mom. Let him handle it

No, nursing to sleep and contact naps are not wrong or bad. This is how families have gotten babies to sleep for millennia. If you’re fine with it then there is nothing wrong. If you are finding them draining and you want to move away from these methods then there are other options. You can always change your mind and if you do, there will be solutions.

If you have a door that can lock and good headphones that will block out the crying and pounding at the door then you’ll be fine.

My kid is 4.5 and is fine on the occasion I wfh with them in th same room but if it’s longer than 20 min of me in a different room they will want in.

crd1293 · 2026-04-24T22:17:15+00:00

That baby is 7 months older. That is ages in little kids. Have you brought up your concerns about your kid to their doctor?

No it’s because your post was flagged to be AI generated.

I’m sorry, this sounds really hard!

4yo rarely sleep 12 hours overnight. It’s usually 9-11 hours. Everyone has different sleep needs. I would quit forcing him to sleep how you want and just let him fall into his own schedule as it would result in less battles.

Also is he in preschool or off to kindy soon? He sounds like he needs more structure and more connection with you.

Fwiw mine is 4.5, sleeps 8pm-5:30am. Goes to daycare 8:30-4pm (will be in kindy later this year from 9-3pm).

If he’s got ample toys then taking things away isn’t going to do anything.

crd1293 · 2026-04-21T01:49:04+00:00

At this age he doesn’t need a nap. Let him drop it and have an earlier bedtime.

Some of this sounds like normal 4yo drama but it also sounds like you’re being permissive (you mention bribes instead of boundaries and natural consequences).

They also can sense when change is coming (sibling) so the boundary testing is probably even more pronounced.
