New baby and post birth advice #14 Snot Suckers Anonymous

[Definitelyme]

I still insisted on quiet time for a long time when my toddler dropped hers at 18m. I’d put her in bed with the iPad, just so I could sit down for a bit

18 months?! You were diddled! No wonder you needed the quiet time

Going 3 hours away to visit my sister on Monday for 4 nights in a caravan. Dreading it.
We never went away when my first was a baby. And then my second. Oh my god it was awful. We went away every 6 months and she'd scream for hours when trying to get her to sleep. And she'd eventually pass out from exhaustion. Last time we went away, which was September 2020, was the first time she'd not cried and cried. She cried the first night and that was it.

Now I'm starting all over again and absolutely dreading the nights and getting Everleigh to sleep. We've had this booked for 2 months and I've thought about it every single day

I hope it goes better than you are expecting

I regret not getting a tablet sooner to do this
My second stopped napping at 1.

New thread!

New baby and post birth advice #15 Why don’t babies want to sleep or eat, they’re my two favourite things?!

Realised I managed to make the last two threads both #13, so we’re skipping straight to 15 this time! Thread title inspired by all the posts about lack of sleep and babies who just won’t feed ❤️
