18 month not walking

Is anyone else's 18 mo not walking? My daughter didnt crawl until 14 months. She furniture walks, stands up while holding onto something, but I am concerned that she is the only one in the world not walking. Please give me guidance or reassurance.

Hello! My daughter is about that age, she was born June 2019 and crawled late I believe at 9-10 months and just a month ago learned how to walk...the Drs were concerned but i wasn’t since everything else seemed normal except gross motor skills...that being said it sounds like she’s on the right bath by using furniture, it won’t be long now...I know you’re concerned so if you want to bring it up to a physical therapist but maybe give it a bit more time and see what happens usually when they’re walking using furniture it’s not long

How do I get my 18 month out of our bed?!

Our 18 month old has been sleeping in our bed. He has a crib but never used it!! Mostly my fault as I breastfed and co slept with him. My older kids slept with me until they were like 3 or 4 but I'm due with my 4th any day now. He shows no interest in sleeping in his crib and may I add he is highly attached to me! 😭 reality is gonna hit him when his little brother arrives. I know I should have started this along time ago but hes just loves his momma so much he cant sleep without me! Any tips ladies??Here's a pic of my wild boy 💙

17 month old LOSS appetite

My son was premature at 35 weeks weighing in at 6lbs 9oz he was put on Gentlease enfamil but was taken of at 10 months due to weight gain he went straight to 2% milk and food he was doing great until he turned 14 months and became real picky with eating now him being 17 months he doesn’t eat at all he will only eat some rice balls or 7 spoon fulls of food but he has to be starving to due so. I don’t give him no Milk for naps or any juice just water during the day and milk for bed 2x bottles 9oz I recently started giving him multi vitamins .. he does eat his veggies when he wants.. I also buy him his favorite foods and make his favorite meals and nothing he will go without eating until dinner and will only eat just a little bit ....but I’m really concerned he weighs 28 pounds he is active and we do speak to his pedatrician but says he’s fine as long as I offer him his food and if he doesn’t want it he’s just not a big eater... we also took him to the ER that’s how concerned I was but they tell me the same.🚫so my question is have any of you gone through this if so what did you give your child to open up there appetite? And what can I do to help him eat ?March 2019Aug 2019Aug 2019Dec 2019Dec 2019

Ha

Ours changes daily. I offer food at our meal and snack times. And it's up to her if she wants to eat! You cant force them and if their body says it's not hungry that's okay!

No words and tantrums

I’m at my wits end. My LO is 17 months (18 months on Dec. 15). She has 0 words. No mama, dada, no....nothing. She makes uh and oh and NA sounds but that’s it. She can communicate when she’s hungry by signing or if you ask what she wants, she’ll run to the fridge and point to what she wants. But most times it’s a nightmare!! If you can’t figure out what she wants and give her the wrong thing, she throws herself on the floor, cries. And then she’ll be comforted and it starts all over because you didn’t get her what she needed initially. I’ve tried everything to get her to talk. We’ve been reading since day 1, I communicate my day with her, ask her questions. I know she understands, she follows simple directions and is very attentive when you talk to her. I just don’t know what to do to get her to use words!! Also, diaper changes/ changing clothes. It’s like you’re torturing her!! She flails and cry’s and screams. But it’s like we’ve been doing this you’re whole life... I have a 5.5 year old that was nothing like this!!! I need help!!!

I would definitely get her evaluated. Some early intervention could be really helpful and get her on track!

Preschool curriculum

Has anybody found a good activity book/home preschool curriculum for 18 months? I know the most important thing is play and interaction. I’m just looking for something with ideas and a little structure, mostly to put my mind at ease that I’m not missing any major things I should be teaching her/doing with her. Any ideas?

I am a teacher. Please don’t think you need to enrich your preschooler with workbooks! Play, have conversations, limit screen time, do sorting activities, go on Pinterest or instagram and look up preschool activities. Give lots of time for holding crayons, markers, pencils, paint.

Mine definitely is! When we were at the paediatrician he mention that he was “hyper active” which worries me because my 9 year old has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was 6 and recently diagnosed with ASD... and honestly the ADHD is our biggest struggle 😳

No cows milk

Anyone else’s 17/18 month old not on cows milk? How do you go about getting them to take in the nutrients they need? Mine won’t eat veggies at all. Eats fruits like a champ...meats are so/so...he can tolerate yogurt and small amounts of cheese fine. Tips for hiding veggies? Other thoughts?

My little one loves smoothies so I put tons of things in them for her

Husband making me cry

My husband is making me cry like everyday. Particularly on the weekends when he is home. It’s like he can’t handle even one hour alone with our 17 month old. I’m also 28 weeks pregnant and have gestational diabetes so I need some help sometimes so that I can check my blood sugar, eat, etc. he just doesn’t understand how stressful it is and he’s just really upsetting me. I’ve been a stay at home mom since my son was born and somehow ended up being the one who does laundry, etc. it’s just so frustrating. I feel like I’m always stressed out and will never get a break. I wanted to be happy for this baby- but the current environment of my household makes me very hesitant to want to bring another baby home. I just feel really depressed.

This exact post was me this weekend. I love my husband and he’s a great provider for our family but sometimes it feels as though he works long hours Monday to Friday and that nights and weekends are “his” time. Which of course everyone deserves s break and time to themselves but I’m also currently working, 27 weeks pregnant, been sick for almost 2 weeks now with a cold, and we have an 18 month old. I don’t think I ask for much, I pretty much do everything for our son from the time we get home (about 4:30) to the time he goes to bed around 8. My husband currently has been leaving the house 7:15 and not getting home till 8 or later due to it being peak season for his job. But weekends I still feel like a lot is on me. My husband enjoys doing outside work but laundry, mopping the floor‘s, vacuuming, switching the dishwasher, etc. it’s very rare he’ll do it on his own. I know he’s not a mind reader but if you see dishes in the sink piling up or the laundry basket overflowing, you can do something about it. If I ask he usually says yeah I’ll do it, but it’s on his time which would be hours later at that point I usually just do it myself. All weekend I was in tears every time I got a moment to myself for like a shower. I know it’s hormones and it’ll pass, but it’s nice to vent and know this is also normal in other households. Sorry for the long response but that felt good to write it all out!

Potty training early

My daughter will be 18 months in December. She is showing signs for potty training: tells us when she poops, signs toilet, (we have been practicing and she asks to go on it by herself but has yet to pee on it) and she loves wearing underwear. She goes into my sons drawer and will take out his and ask to wear it. My husband and I are both off for 3 weeks at Christmas so it would be the perfect time to train her, but I’m due with our third baby three months later in March. Originally I was going to train her in June when she turns two - to let her adjust to the new baby. Should I go for it or wait?

At 18 months I wouldn’t expect any 3-day method or similar to work...it’s going to take awhile. A break like this might be a good time to start and just know that you won’t necessarily wrap up in a few days. If you’re not familiar with Montessori, look up their “toilet learning” principles. They start around 12 months and I think like to wrap up by 18 or so.

Sleep issues

My son has had an issue with this sleep schedule lately. Idk what's going on but this momma is extremely exhausted. 😭😢🤱🏽

Eating

So my son is 17mo and still eats babyfood occasionally bc hed so weird about textures. Anything g grainy like potatoes he doesnt like basically any meat besides ground beef he wont eat. Hes so so on bread. He likes lots of veggies but not a well rounded diet. I keep trying the foods he doesnt like in Hope's he will get used to it. Any one have any advice? He loves mac an cheese all pasta lol of course. Hes growing and gaining weight but he should really be done with all babyfood

Just keep trying! Have you tried mixing some “regular food” with baby food to help the transition? My son will eat regular food but only veggies puréed, I started boiling veggies and chopping them small, mixing them with barley or quinoa and baby food and it’s really helped bridge that gap with him.

Mom guilt!

Hey ladies! This is my 16 month old, I just found out I am pregnant with baby number 2 due July 2020. My son is at a super clingy stage and I just didn’t have patience today. How he is at daycare because I work and I want to leave and go get him and have him be as clingy as he wants 😭😭 Picture of my prince so we don’t get lost!

Why can't you do a joint birthday with any gender?

My kid didn’t get the memo

I guess my kid didn’t get the memo that after 3 days of no paci you’re supposed to sleep again. Going on two weeks of waking up 3 times a night. She’s very happy just can’t sleep all night anymore. We actually never had any terrible nights she just woke up, we rocked her like 10 mins and she slept a few more hours and we just repeated it. She isn’t terrible it’s just been going on for too long now. Any tips? We are down to only rocking 5 mins and crying for 15

It gets better! Just stay strong! My son was doing this too and now he’s back to sleeping normally again! It’ll take time but she will eventually get the hang of it again

Hand puppets. I'm not 100% sure if it's more a fear or that she wants to do it herself. But if I try to put on a hand puppet she says no no no no no!

Kid is up for hours at night

We took the paci from our 17 month old 9 days ago. She falls asleep great without it but never stays asleep anymore. She’s always up for HOURS in the middle of the night. Literally takes her 2 hours to fall back asleep. And she’s not crying if you’re rocking her she just will not fall asleep. Finally she will fall back asleep just to wake up again 2 hours later. I’m losing my mind and really need some advice, words of encouragement or just stories of similar kids bc im about to just give up and give the paci back.

Check if her front molars are coming in. Realized mine were, all four at once, and who regularly would sleep 12 hours straight began to wake 10 times at night in 20 minute intervals. It passed within a week or two, though. I know he wanted to sleep because he’d go right back when I came in. It just kept waking him.

Mucus

My LO is getting over a cold but can’t seem to pass the last amount of mucus stuck in her throat/chest. She coughs it up but brings it right back down. I’ve tried warm liquids and suctioning but as soon as she see the bulb she snaps her mouth shut. Any tips on how to get it out?
