During the warm months, what mini split settings are you using? For context I have three mini splits in my house. One in my bedroom, one in my toddler’s bedroom, and one downstairs.

The mini split in my toddler’s room makes the room extremely humid on the cool setting. When it is on the dry mode, it makes the room very cold. Ideally I would like to be able to shut her door so she can sleep easier however that worsens these problems.

Both of the other two machines have issues, but don’t impact the air quality as much as my toddler’s.

We also have issues in the winter time when we want to use the heat mode. Excessive heat is pushed out of my toddlers mini split, causing her room to get extremely hot, especially if her door is closed.

For the amount of money that we spent on these, I am so upset with the way they work. I feel like I have tried every combination of settings without any luck.

For as long as I can remember my toddler has screamed herself to sleep. She willingly goes to her room/bed for naps and bedtime, happily. She lays in bed independently, no fighting or screaming until we leave the room. Chair method did not work for her, as I just became a bigger distraction. She screams for at least a half hour, sometimes 2+ hours before she finally tires herself and goes to sleep.
We’ve tried earlier naps/bedtime but timing does not make a difference. She is VERY active, always on the move and struggles to rest in any situation (never just sits and relaxes).
She also perseverates on her blankets and stuffed animals so we have tried removing anything on her toddler bed except for a “boring” blanket. She repeatedly screams “blanket on!” as she will often throw the blanket off (yes, she can put it back on herself).
Lately she has been “calm” while going to bed but will just start singing/talking for an hour or more. The only time she will sleep is if she’s upset (AKA crying/screaming) - which is awful to hear her literally NEED to have a meltdown in order to fall asleep.
We’ve tried giving her reassurance outside the door to remind her we’re still there if this is all due to separation anxiety, but that doesn’t make a difference either.
We’ve tried brown noise, lullabies, night lights, pitch black, none of these things have made a difference.
Please help!!
