October 2024 Babies 🇺🇸

I think I need therapy for anxiety… I have suffered with something similar before. I was so hung up I had a disease. I kept going to Dr appointments until time went on and it was obvious it was in my head. I’m experiencing something similar with my daughter. I’m obsessed with thinking my daughter can have autism. She has met every single milestone but I keep looking for something to be wrong. She struggles sleeping so I looked up if that can be autism and sure enough it is. She flaps her hands when exciting or mad. I keep testing her. She loves to lay on the floor more than my first baby did. I call her name to see if she turns around and she does everytime but I test like over and over. I test her animal sounds and her colors which she does pretty good I feel like horrible mother. I keep a log of her words just in case. I have a close friend with an autistic son and she’s always venting how hard it is to see my children meet their milestones but I keep thinking what if she regresses and stops talking. Anyone else suffer with this? 😣

My 17 month old is congested and has a runny nose. We’re currently using saline spray and we try to use the baby nose aspirator on her but she always fights back. What are some other ways to relieve her symptoms?

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to set up a floor bed or where to start with that. I assume I’d sleep with my son in that bed until he was used to it in hopes to get him out of my bed.

Teething fevers? Is it a myth or is it true? My toddler has no other symptoms besides a fever. Anybody else experience this. I read online & his pediatrician said teething doesn't cause fevers so i'm curious.

Has anyone else’s kiddo started waking up for 3 hour blocks in the middle of the night after making the 1 nap transition? We started transitioning at 16 months, we’re about 3.5 weeks in and she’s also getting molars, but it’s happening maybe 40% of nights and is obvious when it’s not discomfort related, which is more than half the time. More of a restless energy usually falling somewhere between 2-6am. I also cap her nap at 2hr 15m (when she even gets that long). Is this just a thing that happens as they adjust to the 1 nap!? I’m losing it.
