Crying (sorry kinda long)

We left a difficult situation with my ex back at the end of March and moved in with my parents into a two bedroom apartment but moved into a 3 bedroom house about a month ago and she seemed like she was doing great and enjoying having her own room. When she doesn’t seem to be feeling good there are times I go to her bed or I bring her to my bed sometimes she goes to my parents but here lately it’s been escalating and happening more
The change could be a root cause. Are you able to take her to therapy? Play therapy can work wonders to allow her to let our frustration. With her being 19 months she isn’t quite able to fully communicate what is going on but play therapy could be very beneficial! Cosleeping during this period could be beneficial too! I usually cosleep when either one my twin boys are sick or having a rough time.
Usually around that time night terrors can start or kick into high gear. Separation anxiety can play a part as well. It’s another leap essentially happening. We went through this with our 5 year old. Benadryl and melatonin can cause night terrors so we steered clear from that and tried to cut sugar out by no later than 3 or 4 since that can cause nightmares as well. Harder especially if they go to bed with a bottle but it will pass. Not sure what your night time routine looks like but with our kiddo we would start around 6 of calming things down in the house, doing softer lighting, quieter sounds, less stimulating shows. Good warm bath with lavender Epsom salts and bubbles and let him wear himself out then read a bedtime story together that was fun and uplifting. Making a positive bedtime routine could potentially help. May also need to speak with doctor about anything that could be triggering it as well. Any new changes or new events that have happened.
