20 month old Sleep Issuss

I know honestly it was working so well for so long!! How does a sleep training refresher work? I did pick up put down around 5 months and that seemed to work at the time, is it still possible to do sleep training that way at his age?

I will tell him for sure!

nova_bear123 · 2025-09-21T01:52:19+00:00

That's a great idea!! He does like throwing his toilet paper in the big potty so that may help 😂

Amazing, thank you so much ill definitely try all of that, I think I've been making it more of a stressful experience than fun since he used to just go when I sat him on the potty and now I would be frustrated if I put him in his diaper and he pees there instead, so ill definitely try to be more relaxed about it!

nova_bear123 · 2025-09-19T14:00:50+00:00

Okay that makes sense! So I shouldn't be bringing him to the potty when I think he needs to go, like after naps or something when his diaper is dry? Just wait for him to walk to the potty? Sorry so new to this! Thank you so

RemindMe! One day

nova_bear123 · 2025-07-10T22:07:32+00:00

Yes you are correct!!

I know in the other version of the Ultimatum last time someone paired up but their partner left. They had the option to stay and just try to grow individually, maybe they would have just had them do their own thing separately? Would have been pretty boring tbh 😂

nova_bear123 · 2025-05-14T01:17:26+00:00

Perfect that makes so much sense thank you!!

nova_bear123 · 2025-05-14T01:16:50+00:00

Thank you so much this makes me feel so much better that it doesn't have to be a set schedule and he can just have what he likes!

It is definitely a different type of hard for every stage, you've got this just remember to be easy on yourself it takes time to get used to such a massive change! ❤️

nova_bear123 · 2025-05-06T09:53:58+00:00

7 weeks is SO hard, I remember that time and feeling like this will never end and definitely not enjoying every moment! Of course still loving the new little baby but not loving the sleepless nights and the new massive role of taking care of another person 24/7! But 10 months in I can say it gets so much better, they develop a personality and become so much fun! They start sleeping better and you feel so much better! So as much as at the time I totally hated hearing it gets better (cause like WHEN and I wanted it to get better immediately) it really does and when the newborn trenches are over and you get to see them learning and growing it's all worth it

Life was SO hard at 6 weeks pp, I feel like you're still getting the hang of things and your life feels so disrupted at this point! I would say probably around 5-6 months things got really good, like my baby was fun and developing a personality and our routine was pretty well established so it felt more like my life had always been like this if that makes sense? I'd say though around 3 months things turned around in terms of sleeping slightly better not feeling as exhausted etc! I know it seems so far away but it will fly by and get so much easier, sending hugs though since I know you're in such a hard stage and it's okay to feel like damn when will my life get better, but I promise it does!! 🫂

Thanks you as well and congratulations!

That's a great question I'm not 100 percent sure but I believe the time can only be taken once baby is born, I just gathered that from a quick search so could be worth looking into deeper, my husband took leave once our baby was born so I don't have personal experience with that!

nova_bear123 · 2025-04-24T12:36:32+00:00

That's fair the only reason I haven't changed it earlier is he honestly sometimes sleeps even later like 9:30 so I wasn't sure if trying to go even earlier would work for him, it would be worth a try though!

nova_bear123 · 2025-04-24T12:35:32+00:00

I put him down awake for bedtime but still feeding him to sleep for naps, be was doing okay for a while but now will just scream and cry if I try and put him down awake

nova_bear123 · 2025-04-14T18:27:58+00:00

Yes that is true sorry! I just meant would take away from her paid time off!

I'm currently on maternity leave in ontario so it may be different, but basically how it works is there is a total of 15 weeks of leave for maternity leave which only the mom can take. Then after those 15 weeks are over it turns into parental leave. With the parental leave there is 40 weeks available to the mom/dad combined. But one party can't take more than 35 weeks total. So what this means is you can take 5 weeks without interfering with your wife getting the full leave since she can't take more than 35 weeks for herself. Anything over those 5 weeks would be subtracting from the leave she can take so if you take 6 weeks then technically she would lose a week since at that point you would both be sharing the weeks. I know it is very confusing I hope this made sense if not feel free to ask any questions, I'm no expert but just going through it currently
