Hello. I have an 18 month old baby girl and ever since she was born she has slept with me and my husband. This does not bother us as we have no issues with our sexual life and the baby. The only problem is that she used to breastfeed thru the night and recently i started weaning her and she keeps waking up during the night and staying awake for 2 hours sometimes. This is what happens.
I give her a bottle of milk before bedtime. She falls asleep. She then wakes up at 1 or 2 am i try to give her the bottle which she sometimes refuses and sometimes takes it. When she refuses the bottle i try the paccifier and then she just starts crying even louder. I get fustrated and give her the ipad leaving her playing on the bes quietely until an hr passes and i put her back to sleep quietly. Leaving me 2 hrs of sleep until i have to wake up for work at 6:30. When she drinks the bottle of milk she still stays awake!!!? And im off to the ipad again. Please help. I dont want to put her in the crib because she doesnt bother me but i do want her to sleep the night. Please help

No bashing. I don't need it not will I care to acknowledge it.
My son is 18 months old and will not fall asleep on his own or easily. He has never slept through the night and has a constant schedule of wake ups at 9, 12:30, 3:30, and 5. He then will either get up for the day or go back to sleep till 7 or 8. When he gets up early, he spends the entire morning screaming cause he is tired and frustrated because he cannot do something he wants to. Putting him to sleep is a wrestling match in which case we usually have to hold him and let him yell for a few minutes before he falls asleep. No matter what schedule he is on, or what we try to set, nothing helps. Even his doctor said she doesn't know what's wrong and besides medicating him, she doesn't know how to help. Well I would rather not put him on medication until absolutely necessary. So CIO is my next option but I don't know where to begin or how to do it properly. I've just got to do something before I give birth in September. Thanks in advance

I'm going back to work full time on Thursday. I am anxious about a lot of things but my biggest concern is not spending enough time with her in the evenings. She is almost 15 weeks and her natural bedtime is anywhere between 6:30 and 8. I am going to try to work from 7-3 instead of 9-5, but it will be a challenge getting out the door in time. How do you working moms do it??

Yup, I do it now :) I'm glad I read about this toddler activity in advance so I wasn't as thrown off. I sometimes have the kid on one side and Woof Woof on the other. Or he and Brown Bear will take turns. It's a bit strange but cute!

I'm posting in here because no one in my real life cares. Today is my birthday and my husband got me the wrap I've been wanting! Yay!!!! I couldn't do a back carry very well with the cheap mei tai I had but I tried it with the girasol he just got me and my daughter loves it! I'm so excited! Ill be able to do so much more with her on my back instead of front. Sooooo excited! My daughter is just over 10 months and weighs 22lbs so she's a pretty big kid. What are your favorite carries for older babies?
