Sleep for us!

Sleep but once we sleep trained at 6 months, it hasn't been bad.
-
Sleeeeeeeeep!
-
So far, feeding. T has had a billion different sleep patterns, but his MOTN wake ups aren't a big deal. He sleeps in his own room and crib most of the night and with me after he wakes up the first time. I can side lie and nurse him and go back to sleep. No biggie. I feel rested
We struggled with BFing in the beginning and still aren't perfect. I had to start solids earlier than I had hoped.
No behavior issues yet but he's only 6 months.
-
Sleep, for sure, hands down, no question. Finally STTN (most of the time, maybe 85%) at nearly 20 months....
Remind me again why I would want to put myself through sleep hell all over again for a future LO?!
-
Sleep training worked really quickly for us and L will eat anything, so for us it would be behavior/discipline.
-
Xander's only 17 months, but I'm going to go with feeding. Breastfeeding was fine, but getting him interested in solids was rough and then moving onto finger foods was another stress!
-
All three, at different times.
-
toddler tantrums.
-
@looch: Agree. Right now, behavior (tantrums, biting, etc) are toughest. For a long time, sleep would have been my answer. For the first 4 months, feeding would be my answer.
-
@petunia354: Seriously. I am forever scarred.
@Adira: Pretty sad that we have the same feeding issues as you and sleep is still more difficult, eh??
-
Sleep!
-
@lawbee11: Um, yes, I feel bad... Xander was always a good sleeper, so we've been lucky! Although he's also allergic to dairy, so there's that!
-
This changed by age for us. After a few weeks, feeding really wasn't a problem. Sleep was horrific until she finally settled into STTN and a nap schedule. Now that's in the past, and we're working through setting limits and testing boundaries.
-
Sleep for sure!
-
@Adira: Oooh yeah the dairy allergy is tough, I'm sure. We night-weaned over the weekend and the past 2 nights she STTN so fingers crossed that it's not just a fluke!
-
Out of those, feeding. I would say adjusting to being a parent in general/a SAHM have been the hardest things.
-
Tantrums! Not fun at all.
-
Oh man, 0-3 months, it was feeding. 3-6 months, it was sleep. Now it's probably behavior...I just don't know how to mitigate her frustrations/tantrums. They seem to just go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds and I wish I knew what was bothering her!
-
hmmm tough question. Sleep was definately the biggest struggle for a LONG time, but as of right now at 21 months, behavior is probably the most difficult (tantrums, biting, hiting...ahh the joys of toddlerhood)
-
@lawbee11: Congrats!!! I hope the sleep continues!!!
-
Behavior/Discipline for sure. She's not particularly difficult, but just figuring out how to properly handle tantrums/fits etc without ruining her (spoiling vs traumatizing
)
-
@looch: Agreed.
We're in the toddler discipline stage and it's tough. It's also extremely unhelpful when someone tells me that they've never had these kinds of issues and it must be something I'm doing or that he's feeding off of my negativity. Makes me ragey.
-
Feeding feeding feeding.
This kid just doesn't like to eat and I'm trying not to make it a big deal, but I think I am
-
@lawbee11: 2 in a row, awesome!
-
Sleep for now, but we have not hit the toddler stage yet.
-
Right now it's feeding, just because I'm barely making enough milk to cover her bottles at daycare.
-
Biting. Hands down
-
Agree with @looch. Discipline/behavior has been particularly difficult now that our daughter is 3.
-
Sleep, we just night weaned and we've been getting 10 hour stretches for the first time in 11 months but that's it 10 hours and he's up.
-
@lawbee11: night-weaning made the difference for us, well it's been a week lol
-
@jetsa: So what time does he wake up for the day?? M would be so crabby on 10 hours of sleep....girl loves her sleep, she just has trouble staying asleep without nursing!
-
I had a really hard time voting, because her feeding issues have caused her sleep problems, but the sleep problems bother me more than the feeding problems, so... i voted for sleep only because i'm so tired these days, but the feeding problems have actually been far more problematic for us. plus the feeding is getting better and the sleep is getting worse, so i suspect if i vote again in a month, sleep will have been the right answer (hello 9 month regression!)
-
@lawbee11: 5:30, if I put him down before 7 he loses it so we normally start his bedtime routine at 7 he's in the crib lights out by 7:30. He's had a 2 nights where he wanted to play at 4 we were up for an hour and then he slept for another. I think he just has low sleep needs. He only gets 12-13 hours total a day and is happy unless he's hungry or tired.
We tried scooting it back because 5:30 is early on the weekends and no matter what time I put him down he's up between 5:30-6
-
Tantrums and feeding. Our feeding problem is getting him to eat his meals at the booster seat, not while watching Daniel Tiger.
-
At 3.5 months, feeding. Sleeping isn't great, but better than I feared!
-
Oh sleep...... Sleep definitely.
-
@jetsa: my LO is 22 months but ten hours is STTN for her and she maxes out at 12-13 hours of sleep per day. LO actually gets more night sleep when she wakes and we then nurse and cosleep!
@looch: yup, bf'ing in the very early days, sleep at around 6-7 months and now it's toddler behaviour (or rather, my behaviour when reacting!)
@Danizaur: I've been part time bedsharing with Miss A for over twelve months and it's worked really well for us
-
Right now it is tantrums/behavior. She has been having spouts of extreme naughtiness right now, making it very hard on this very tired mom in her first trimester.
-
@looch: Agreed. Right now we're having food issues, but behavior/discipline is a close second...he's testing his/our boundaries...and we've gone through sleep issues, although those are pretty good right now.
