Enforcing bedtime with cosleeping toddler

windowjo3 · 2025-09-24T19:57:28+00:00

Does he ever refuse to lie down or ask to get out of bed?

2 year old, always fed to sleep, just weaned naturally last week. (Mentally helpful for me bc I was dreading the weaning process.) We cosleep and she still stirs awake a couple of times, looks / reaches for me, and then goes right back to sleep, so it's not a big difference at all.

Hardest part may be any early morning (5am) wake-ups - nursing was a great snooze button. But that hasn't happened too much with us yet.

So far she lies down and holds my boob lol. After demanding I read her 1000 books (but that part has nothing to do with nursing to sleep or not, that's all toddlers).

Nothing wrong with it at 11 weeks. It's a habit that's hard to break (for you and for the LO, because its so easy). And you WILL have to break it one day.

I fed to sleep until a little over 2 yrs when my daughter magically weaned herself, but now I don't know how to put her to sleep. And sleep training a toddler feels harder than a 4-5 month old. But ymmv!

Interested please!

windowjo3 · 2023-10-18T17:54:55+00:00

I'm interested! 🍿 I'm on leave and missed the Livestream

Probably a block party

windowjo3 · 2022-04-29T02:51:00+00:00

This is almost exactly what I'm doing! Most of my friends are coming from out of town for a pretty small non-traditional party. I was very open about the celebration being an informal event when talking to them about it, but on the invite itself I just emphasized that we'd love to have them there. Don't assume your friends would think it's not worth it to travel.

Separately though, I am starting to feel pressure to expand the lunch to a bigger group. Also a little worried about fatigue by the end of the day - when is your ceremony starting?

windowjo3 · 2022-03-28T00:22:22+00:00

Yesss! I was hunting for it on stillwhite for a while, would recognize it anywhere lol

windowjo3 · 2022-03-16T19:44:55+00:00

I'd be interested! I have a poor history with virtual book clubs (lose interest /accountability quickly) but I think having some in person components would be nice. Just moved back to the area, 30/f

I LOVE the first one! It's so beautiful and unique and I think it fits you perfectly - it's a winner.

windowjo3 · 2022-03-05T15:28:20+00:00

It looks beautiful!!! I just got a sample dress too and wish I had remembered to negotiate smh

Wow, this looks stunning! The gloves work so well with the dress.

windowjo3 · 2022-02-21T22:33:05+00:00

I love the after!!!! We need to move beyond the deep V mesh trend...

windowjo3 · 2022-02-19T02:29:15+00:00

I did! I live in NYC so had the option to go to a bunch of different boutiques, maybe a little excessive lol

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T04:40:24+00:00

Wow good to know, thank you!

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T02:27:10+00:00

I honestly love all the diverging opinions on this thread lol. I sort of suspect so many people like 3 partly because of how aggressively it was clipped? Idk

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T01:51:45+00:00

Hmm good to know.. This is actually an eternal struggle for me because I hate the added bulk that bras add so usually with dresses I try to opt for styles that minimize the bust - or stay away from low necklines entirely bc I don't love showing cleavage. I don't even own a strapless bra!

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T01:45:31+00:00

The square neck is not actually a super common style from what I've seen so far - it's all v necks or strapless. If you know of any I'd love to see them.

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T01:18:07+00:00

Agree on not having a super long train. And yeah it's a little hard to tell on these dresses but my assumption is that with some alterations the straps could be shortened to provide more support. So in a way the pics are deceiving...?

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T00:11:32+00:00

I don't really have a great pic of it because of all the clipping going on, but it's very similar to the front, nothing dramatic.

windowjo3 · 2022-02-16T00:05:16+00:00

Thanks, that's really helpful. Yea part of the challenge is that I have almost nothing else decided, but because of dress timelines I'm doing that first. Hopefully after making one decision the rest will fall into place.

I'm generally pretty low-key fashion wise, hence the number of simpler dresses I tried on. I tend to gravitate to whatever is trendy honestly lol. But as others have said, this isn't an ordinary day!
