How can I get my 14 month old to sleep by himself??
Hi everyone, I am 6 months pregnant with my second baby. My first is 14 months old. We have gotten into the habit where I lay down with him at night and well I feel that he’s old enough to start going to sleep by himself. I want to have him sleeping by himself before the other baby gets here. I have tried laying him in his crib and letting him cry it out. Within 10 minutes I feel like I’m neglecting him or something and I feel I have to lay down with him. He is asleep within minutes of laying down with me. I know he’s not sick and he has just taken a bath so he has a clean ditey on. He sleeps with a cup so I know he’s not thirsty. I’m not sure what else I can do to help him feel ok about sleeping in his own crib. His cry sounds like a scared one but he has a night light in there. What should I do??
I have a daughter in softball and her coach is being unfair to her he will not let her play is there any help?
He picked her but now he wants her on the bench, her other team mates or upset as well they all know she’s good.. when asked why she wan’t getting any play time, He said she was catching the ball with one hand ( other girls on her team catch with only one hand), and that she has a habit of throwing the bat down wrong( found out today shes only done that once during practice) ( other girls playing throw their helmets in the dugout when things aren’t going their way ) Just wondering what can be done to make this coach be fair. she has gave up everything to play surely theres something out there to protect our children from this kind of unfairness.
What advice can you give me to get rid of a bad habit?
I cannot for the life of me wake up at a decent hour. I am very accustomed to stating up late and sleeping in but I recently started my new job (I work 3:30 till 11:00 p.m.) and I have difficulty going to sleep when I get home and waking up when I want to. I want to go t o sleep at 1 a.m. so I can get 8 hours of sleep and be ready to wake up at 9 a.m. This never happens. I come home from work around 11:30 and I’m full of energy. I pop 2 sleeping pills and I straighten up my apartment, feed my cat, call me friends and mom, wash my face, start watching TV. The pills (over the counter) seem to kick in but they never give me that full I-can’t-keep-my-eyes-open effect. Finally around 3 I get so pissed that I’m 2 hours off schedule that I go to bed….and lay there for about 45 min to an hour. I end up waking up around 12:30. My alarm will start going off at 9 and I will push snooze until 12!! I think the pills make me really drowsey also and I have no energy when I wake to get things done!!
One of the reasons I wanted to wake up early is to work out (I have a tredmil in my apartment) but I read somewhere else that exercising at night makes you stay awake longer! Plus I don’t want to go to sleep covered in sweat! (taking a shower would really wake me up and it would take even longer!) Cant affort a ‘sleep specialist’
