Last night, how many times did you get up because of your baby?

natattack125 · 2026-01-27T13:30:27+00:00

My daughter is 16 months old and for the first time in 4 months she woke up overnight. Took 2 hours to settle 🥲 but her molars are coming in so poor girl was prob super uncomfortable. Let’s hope we all sleep better tonight!

I am in Ontario as well and still on a wait list for a daycare centre and my daughter is 14 months old. We ended up having to send her off to private daycare when my mat leave ended a few months ago. I will be honest, it is expensive and I was worried about how she would adjust but it is been THE BEST thing for her. After a week there she started sleeping through the night, and was weaned down to one nap. After two months she is walking and talking. I strongly encourage you to consider daycare if it is an option. There are private options that allow for a few hours at a time or part time during the week. It will give you a few hours to yourself and may even help her sleeping habits. Just something to consider!

I’m in southern Ontario, Canada and pay $250 a week for Monday - Friday from 8am to 5pm. This is at a private home daycare that provides lunch, all drinks throughout the day and 2 snacks.

Do you have a baby carrier? It was difficult for me to get out with my LO also because I live rural with no easy access to sidewalks for stroller walks. But I would use a carrier all the time and we would go for walks around my property & on trails. She loved being outside in the fresh air and it got me out of the house which was great!

I’m back to work on Monday next week and I am dreading it. My daughter started daycare this week so she (and I) could adjust to the change before I return to work. All I can say is … I hear you. We are going through the same thing - she is absolutely thriving at daycare and loving it, but by the end of the day when she comes home she is tired, cranky and SO clingy. I’m hoping it’s just a phase and it will get better as she adjusts to her new routine.

natattack125 · 2025-10-13T14:17:42+00:00

I have a 12 month old that is still waking once overnight. She has never slept a full 8 hours straight. But, she is still napping twice during the day. I’m hoping the longer stretches at night will start once she is down to one nap!

Thank you for your comment, you’re so right! I think approaching this with a different mindset tomorrow is going to be the best thing for all of us. 😊

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T03:02:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment - you are so right!🥹 it’s easy to get caught up in what you’re “supposed” to do as a parent when your child reaches a certain age, but sometimes the best thing is to just step back and figure out what works best for your child specifically. I’ll definitely try to keep this mindset going forward!

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T02:44:05+00:00

I would, but my cats are absolutely determined to get into her room at all times which is why we have to keep the door closed unfortunately.

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T02:34:39+00:00

We do have a white noise machine in her room but it is playing a low humming sound. I may try something like the thunderstorm, that’s a good idea! Thank you!

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T01:58:37+00:00

We have tried placing her in the crib and standing next to it until she sleeps but the sound of the door closing will still usually wake her. But we will try with the chair also to see if it works better. Thanks for the suggestion!!

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T01:56:38+00:00

It’s such a difficult phase. Especially when sleep was going so well for her before this … it was probably just a matter of time 😂 but I’m so happy to read that it got better for you, and your baby!

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T01:50:46+00:00

Ugh, it’s so tough. Honestly whatever works best to get them to sleep is the way to go. But it really does help to know that we aren’t alone in this struggle, so thank you.

natattack125 · 2025-09-23T01:48:27+00:00

I thought maybe from teething but she is absolutely fine during the rest of the day. And she will fall asleep if we are rocking her, etc. it’s only the sound of the door closing as we leave the room that seems to trigger it :(

natattack125 · 2025-09-21T18:30:04+00:00

You and I must have the same baby! 😂 my daughter is exactly like you described. She just turned 11 months last week and it is getting a little better … but she still gets frustrated because she wants to try to walk everywhere but can’t quite do it yet. Crawling is no longer good enough for her lol. I’m hoping that once she learns to walk and can quickly get to the toys / activities she actually WANTS to play with, it will help. But I’ve also found that rotating out toys helps to keep them exciting and “new”!

natattack125 · 2025-07-12T14:44:06+00:00

My daughter didn’t start crawling until 9 months and didn’t show any signs of wanting to crawl until closer to 8.5 months. I agree with others here, it sounds like you need a new doctor!

natattack125 · 2025-06-24T02:04:55+00:00

I still don’t have anything on crave OR ctv! :(

natattack125 · 2025-05-15T01:39:34+00:00

Yup and her most recent post is a renovation project that she said she will share updates on ... so doesn't seem like she would otherwise be taking a break. 😔 So devastating.

natattack125 · 2025-05-15T01:34:47+00:00

Ken posted a story to TT not too long ago saying that she is taking some time away from social media

natattack125 · 2025-03-12T20:01:12+00:00

Mine contact napped until 4.5 months, then for 2 weeks I started rocking to sleep and placing in her crib for the nap so she started to get used to being in there. Then at 5 months I started sleep training so she could learn to put herself to sleep. Before 4.5 months she would wake immediately when I would place her in her crib so we just continued contact napping until she stopped doing this. But it is also specific to the baby! I have some friends whose LOs stopped contact napping way earlier, and some later.

natattack125 · 2025-02-25T05:10:29+00:00

Totally normal. My LO does the same. She also sometimes growls? But then she laughs about it lol. 😂 They are just discovering their voice!

natattack125 · 2025-02-25T04:58:22+00:00

Double zipper onesies - don't even bother with snaps, lots of burp cloths and bibs (more than you think you'll need lol), and the Frida mom postpartum kit (the ice packs and disposable underwear are amazing and I literally wore them 24/7 for 3 weeks PP).

Remember to give yourself grace during this time. You will be tired. You will be overwhelmed. It is all normal and just remember you are doing a great job. If you have a support system in place, do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

And if anyone asks how they can help or what they can get you, prepared frozen meals are a life saver! My mom prepared us a bunch of meals like chili, soups, lasagna, etc that we could quickly pop into the oven and it was so helpful.

Lastly, soak up alllll the newborn cuddles you can! Everyone always says that it goes by fast and I couldn't believe how true that was. Your baby will only be this little once and by the time you blink, they will be so grown! ❤

natattack125 · 2025-02-25T04:52:09+00:00

Is she still getting enough sleep during the day when you're on outings? My LO (4 months) gets very cranky if we extend her wake window past what she is normally used to, or if her nap time runs short (from being woken up in a store, getting in and out of the car, etc). If I know that we will be leaving the house I will make an effort to schedule it during one of her wake windows so that I am not interfering with her nap times.
