13 month old sleep/mealtime advice please 😫
I’m so stressed out over my 13 month old boy right now. He’s always slept/ate well but I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. We recently moved him for two naps to one (he’s fine at night and sleeps 7:30-6:30/7) as he was taking an hour to fall asleep in the afternoon or just skipping it. He struggled to get used to missing his morning nap but was fine after and slept well at his lunch time sleep. Recently he developed a tic that we’ve seen doctors/specialists about and they think it’s a behavioural tic that I’m worried was brought on from tiredness/stress so I moved him back to two naps. Sometimes he’ll sleep fine but most days he still takes ages to get to sleep in the afternoon if he does at all. Also since making a record of his tic it seems to be at mealtimes I notice it mostly when I’m trying to get him to eat. I don’t force him obviously but try and tempt him to eat meals/new foods and that seems to set him off. I’m worried I’m stressing him out and making things worse. He’s fine when he’s just playing. I feel like he’s not eating enough, sleeping enough and like I’m doing everything wrong. I just want some advice on how to help my son settle and stop my anxiety.
Sorry this is so long but I really appreciate any help/opinions right now 🙏🏼
