My DD is 2 and my first so looking for some practical advice and some reassurance.
Firstly, she still uses her high chair ("normal" one with a tray/table bit that attaches at the front). I think she is getting too big for it and would probably prefer to be up at the normal table. The way our table is, the chair wont push right up to it, so I can't just take the tray bit off. She is a bit too small just to sit on a normal chair. Is there a sort of "half way" house option any one could recommend?
Since birth she has, for the most part, been a pretty good sleeper. However, she is now not falling asleep when she goes to bed and can wake up to ten times a night. We have not ever done CC or co sleeping. We have used "rapid return" i think it is called, where we go to her fairly quickly, shush her and leave the room again, with minimal interaction. When things have been really bad, one of us have slept on the floor in her room. Before, if she woke, she often just chatted to herself and then dropped off again, but it now seems if she wakes, she becomes very upset. What could have caused this, and are we doing the right thing?
Lastly, she seems to very much prefer my DH. He is her main carer. I work full time, he works 2 days a week. She goes to nursery on these 2 days. At bed time, she often shouts at me to "go away" and that she "wants Daddy". I know she is only 2 and doesn't mean it, but I'm finding this very hard.
Any advice for any of this anyone? Thanks!
