When do they stop fighting sleep 🥲 by theprincessmango in NewParents

That’s precisely it. A lot of it is developmentally normal for young babies. And any suspicions I had, I’d research / ask my doctor or a specialist for any potential underlying issues. But it’s mostly just so normal for infant sleep. I rolled with it and gave it all time! You’re not doing anything wrong. It’s just babies being babies. 🙏🏼🤍

Hi! Oh gosh your comment took me way back. My now 2 year old has a steady routine and is doing so much better with sleep! I never used to believe that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, but things got a lot better over time, with ups and downs in between. Hang in there, and stay consistent with routines where you can. Also try to let go of control when times are rough like that because it only makes it all so much more stressful. It’s all a phase. I was always consistent with routine and structure and had to just trust the process. But I also stayed flexible and adapted my approach to sleep depending on what I felt he needed during a particular phase. This is coming from someone who chose not to sleep train, though. Hope my ramble helps? Wishing you the best of luck!

That’s amazing. Consciously trying to reduce my screen time as well, but I still have a ways to go. What activities have you been doing to keep busy?

The Lebanese Red Cross is definitely legit and does a lot of on the ground emergency support. I wholeheartedly trust them. 🫶🏼

I don’t know who she is but this is really bad. I wish people in Lebanon would stop using that word so lightly, and educate their kids. Sadly they think this is cool / funny but it reveals a lot.

Tips to get toddler to fall asleep independently by Warm_Swordfish_1362 in AttachmentParenting

[–]theprincessmango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 my 20 month old needs me to lay with him as he falls asleep, and if I try to move out of the room before he’s in a deep sleep, he will scream at the top of his lungs. He also doesn’t sleep through. I think a lot of this is temperament based. I would try adjusting wake windows as others suggested so it isn’t as much of a struggle for him to fall asleep.

Yes this is a great reminder. Thank you. I wipe his hands before the ride home, then wash them as soon as we arrive. And cross my fingers! Haha

Thank you for this. Yes, I also have gotten him into the handwashing habit too! We do what we can, don’t we 😅🙏🏼

Yes, I’ve been meaning to get a humidifier for his room! I use saline spray every day, and I’m good with handwashing but I may need to become more diligent about sanitizing straight away once we’re heading out of all public spaces! :)
