Well, she almost always naps on her own, but I help her to sleep, usually by nursing or laying with her. Today, at almost 2 year old, she told me to go and fell asleep on her own. It felt strange, but I am so proud of her for asking space when she needed and it felt right for her.

This is really a neutral experience for me. Not a win. Not necessarily as loss. Just part of the nonlinear sleep journey.

(Context: she sleeps in a big girl bed now, and has never slept a crib. We exclusively cosleep at night.)

We often talk about the challenges (valid), but what win did you have this week.

I'll start, my girl only woke once two nights in a row and that was lovely. She has also been super affectionate and cuddly. Right before bed has been such a nice time to connect instead of stressing about it is taking XYZ minutes to fall asleep.

Primarily.

Sorry for the typo!! (Should read: does)

What are YOUR sleep needs?

I am a high sleep needs person. I could easily sleep 11 hours at night pre child. Recovery sleep has been essential for me.

With infant and toddler development in mind. Ill go first:

Eat play sleep = play eat sleep

What phrase would you rebrand?

My daughter LOVES the boob. It isn’t just something she enjoys, it is her passion 😆

I feel not ready to wean yet but think I will around 2.5. Roughly 6 months away. How?!

We are in the no/I don’t like it stage. Everything is no. She is feisty and independent. I want her to stay this was but also instill healthy boundaries. Any toddler or older moms have any suggestions?
