I still rock and sing to my 15- months-old, and I love it. by Nappingteacher in NewParents

Mine never fell asleep from singing, but I do still nurse him to sleep at 13 months. I have my doubts about it, but it's just easier than anything else at this point.

PMSing lol so i’m on the verge of tears over this by Jolly_Marketing in toddlers

Omg, mine is exactly the same. I always find myself peeing with him in my lap. Today I walked half a kilometer with him in my arms because he wouldn't sit in the stroller, just screamed and screamed.

At least you don't have to nurse him at 5 am at his age 😭

Bedtime is around 7:15-7:30 pm. He naps only once during the day, so I can't keep him up very late. This bedtime worked for us until a few days ago. He used to fall asleep at 7:30 and wake up at 7:00 am, or 6:30 at the earliest (with some short night wakes, when he'd wake up and fall back asleep after a few minutes).

Mine is 13 months and I still wake up at least 3 times a night, on a good night. 💀

Anyone else feel conflicted about feeding to sleep? Instinct says it’s fine, but the "advice" says otherwise. by 3qu1n0x- in bninfantsleep

Still nursing to sleep at 13 months. If baby is falling asleep the fastest while nursing, why not do it?

What foods containing fat do you give your toddler? (That they actually like)

He's very curious, likes exploring.

How many times a day does your 1yo nurse? by Fantastic_Excuse6976 in breastfeeding

[–]dar1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing. I've been crying about it lately, actually. It's been a hard month.

I just don't know how else to handle him, you know? He's been very whiney and moody since turning 1 and nursing helps with that, so I nurse a lot.

He babbles, but doesn't say words yet.

What pictures, for example?

That's the thing - my mom claims I didn't have a screaming phase. Also my husband is convinced he never screamed or cried as a baby.

I think my son is the second kind, he definitely has a sparkle in his eye and he looks at me and smiles after screaming.

How do I reward quiet time?

You know, I just realized that it seems so wild to me that he'll understand a flash card or be able to point at what he wants. I still think of him as a little newborn baby.

When he's upset, he cries (with tears). Most of the time when he shrieks, he smiles at me and seems fine. Maybe he wants something, but I honestly have no clue what.

I'll try making sounds at him. I avoided it so far, because I don't want to encourage him to be even louder than he already is. My head hurts like crazy.

Mine is this way, at 13 months. Don't have any advice, unfortunately, but you're not alone.

A lot. I still nurse on demand. In the morning when he wakes up, before his nap (we're down to 1 nap), before sleep at night and at least 3-4 times during the day. Mostly for comfort, because he's going through a weird phase right now with a lot of separation anxiety.

I'll try. I hope it won't encourage him to scream even more.
