Are these things normal?

Question

My mom's got me all worried saying there's something wrong with my daughter :( are these things normal of most kids her age(15 months)?
-shes never been a good sleeper and cries herself to sleep every night and naptime (I do a comforting routine and shes fine until I put her in the crib, the sce screams for 10-20 minutes every time)
- shes throwing tantrums all the time and lately just so miserable
-she throws all of her food on the floor at every meal time 
Personally I have never worried about these things, but I think my mom's really been getting in my head lately :( 
This all came up because she isn't able to sleep at daycare and I dont know how to fix that problem. The daycare says she can't be awake at naptime because that's their break time, but she just can't sleep in a room full of kids! So much stress!

Answer

As someone who's worked in childcare I can tell you that its completely normal. We have plenty of children who do not nap. Thats just how it is, and yes that is when most of the teachers go on their lunch break. But someone has to be in the room at all times to keep in ratio. My point it, your child not sleeping at daycare shouldn't matter or interfere with their breaks. They also shouldn't be forcing your child to sleep. If a child isn't sleeping at nap, we give them something quietly to do.

Sounds like a very typical day at my home with my 15month old! Tantrums, throwing herself into the floor. Dumping food off her high chair you name it!!! It’s just a stage! 💓

Answer

Sounds like a normal day at my house 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Everything sounds normal! My only advice is maybe baby isn’t tired enough if she screams 10-20 mins every night. Try pushing bedtime back 15 mins for a few days and see if that helps! Just breathe! We are all on the same boat as you!

Answer

That's all normal! Also the doctor told us at my son's 15m check up temper tantrums will tend to get worse around this age

Answer

Sounds very normal to me!!

Answer

Sounds just like Ellie and all very normal behaviors for a toddler. Don't stress mama!

Answer

You literally described my son (15 months). He doesn't sleep its very rare he takes naps or sleeps through the night. The only way to get him to sleep is if I rock him and even then he slaps, scratches and pulls my hair. His tantrums are out of this world. He had a complete tantrum for no reason once at Walmart im talking like screaming and kicking in the middle of the isle, of course I held him the whole time but you should have seen the people come in and out of the isle to see him have a tantrum. As far as food goes he does pretty good I just don't put any food on his tray because he will literally feed the dog instead of himself 🥴 this momma is not okay.

Answer

Sounds normal to me! With the sleeping at daycare though will she sleep in a stroller? When my son was little he would only nap by breastfeeding to sleep so when I went to work and he was in daycare they used to put him in his stroller and rock him to sleep every time for me! 😂 it was the only way they could get him to sleep!

Answer

Literally my daughter does all of that too and I've never been worried. I think it's normal at that age.
Sorry I don't have any advice about day care. Seems weird that it's a problem for them, but also I've never had my daughter in day care so I don't know if it's common. Wishing you luck though 💕
