@discoveringyou Is this a new development or has it been happening for some time? I’d say if you recently started daycare and returned to work maybe she’s just missing you and bedsharing at night might help along with breastfeeding at night to give her cuddles and comfort. But if it’s been like...

@pz128 Ah yeah, makes sense. One thing I did was have my son sleep against my side and I had my arm under him and propped on a pillow so it felt like I was holding him. It definitely wasn’t comfortable to do at night but it allowed us to sleep. Not sure if that might work, just throwing ideas...

@pz128 Ah, okay, makes sense! How old is she? Maybe she’s just not ready to sleep on her own. My son contact napped in my arms until about 6 months and then was just too heavy for me to hold him so I started putting him in bed but I often had to stay right next to him or else he would constantly...

@yesterday987g Affirming what she is feeling will probably help a ton. At least it does for me with my same aged son. If he doesn’t want to do something, I accept that he feels that way and say things to show I understand. For example, not wanting to get dressed I might say something like: “You...

@salimpu Perhaps you could try some playfulness to lighten the mood. Like scoop him up in your arms and say, “He wants a popsicle!” And run around with him. And ask silly stuff like, “Do you want to eat a popsicle upside down?” And then turn him upside down in your arms and spin around. “Do you...
