Is 17-18 mo’s some kind of developmental leap? DS a bit out of sorts!

Over the past couple of weeks, DS is…

• Waking more overnight (and being upset when he does so)
• Wanting to breastfeed more in the day - he had started not to ask for it in the day but this has changed
• More clingy. Getting upset at drop off and pick up. And noticing if I leave the room more.
• Becoming a little more stubborn, if he wants to do something but he can’t.

Is this molars? Separation anxiety? Normal for this stage?!

Cod be molars. There’s also a sleep regression at 18 months. Sorry of that’s not what you wanted to hear Smile

I do want to hear! It’s interesting you say that about sleep as if anything, his daytime nap has been getting much longer than it used to be. The lunchtime nap has been going from 70-90 minutes to a good 120 mins if not more. It’s very unexpected!

Tonight and last night he cried on DH when I left the room. Sad
