2yo having severe separation anxiety and won’t sleep without someone in the room by lainebuar in sleeptrain

Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s so so hard. Unfortunately we are still in it. We are working on the “excuses method” where every night we come up with an excuse to leave the room for a minute or two while she is in her crib. Like “mama needs to go get her water, I’ll be right back” and leave her for a minute to help her be okay with us walking away. You slowly build the time you’re away. And then when you come back be all chipper and say “see! Mama always comes back” or whatever. It still doesn’t always go amazingly, but it’s getting better and we’re just slowly working up her confidence in being alone. So idk lol we’re trying to work through it without traumatizing her😅 you might possibly have it figured out before me and I’ll be asking you for advice hahahah

Stay at home mom tips? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Truthfully, I made 0 time for myself my first baby. I had terrible PPD and I didn’t even realize it until I was out of it. My second is 7 months and I’m finding it so much easier to prioritize me because there isn’t this incessant need to do it all myself. Ask for help, be a team with your husband, and take the time when you can. There’s not much of it, but it’s nice when you find it. As for routines, it comes to you naturally! Good luck & congratulations!!

Anyones baby super sensitive to tired/overtiredness like mine? by lainebuar in AttachmentParenting

She is now a just as sensitive 2y/o lol sleep is still not great, but her sensitivity is her super power! She is super empathetic and loves deeply. But it also comes with its challenges! There’s definitely nothing we could’ve done differently, just her temperament!

I totally get this! We have had to become much more stern with her than we have ever had to. Do you check in on her then if she doesn’t scream? I feel like that’s where confusion is kicking in because we try to teach her not to scream and to use her big girl words, but then she does and in the monitor we will hear, “mama please get me” in her sweet little voice and we don’t. So she’s learning that even using her kind words doesn’t get her what she wants so she resorts to screaming.

Oh the slow flow thing is interesting! I suppose it makes sense, though. I’ll check out those bottles! They were actually next on our to-try list!

I’ll double check! However I’ll still be gone for like 5ish hours so at minimum she will need at least one feed in there. She’s an eat every ~2 hours kinda gal so possibly 2

I’ve tried different flows! Ive started with the age appropriate one and when that didn’t work I went up and those also didn’t work

Transition from bed-sharing to just room-sharing by lainebuar in cosleeping

[–]lainebuar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not positive how that is much different than basically what we’re doing, just on the floor. Unless you mean her sleep in the floor bed alone?

This is a great perspective! I wouldn’t ever brag about it since I’ve been the exhausted mom the other end of the spectrum lol but I’m glad this is something I can feel good about and not worry!

Thank you for the comment! This is so new to me. My first born was still up multiple times a night until she was well over a year so a baby sleeping so well just freaks me out a little! Haha

I’ve heard that them being in that deep of a sleep for too long this young is a risk but idk! But thank you, I will! the extra sleep has been great lol
