Toddlers do need lots and lots of love and attention from parents before they go to sleep, especially when they sleep in a separate room and you are well and truly spending a quality time to build up the connection with your little one! So sweet!
Yes! She often cries longer and wouldnt want me to leave the room if i'm rushed. She definitely becomes a little more clingy a day after i worked long hours as well. I think the key is making sure they get enough one on one time so they feel loved and cared before sleep 🥰
Once again, your videos are sooo good! We have a similar bedtime routine with my 19mo, and I used to just leave him in the room to fall asleep independently, but since I started working full time I just can’t resist, but cuddle with him while he is falling asleep (most of the time I fall asleep myself 😅). So now it’s a real struggle to leave him in the room by himself.
Omg seriously, thanks for taking your time and writing such a lovely comment. It really made my day 😊 I feel ya, it's hard to walk away from that cute little face especially when you work full time and cant spend enough time during the day. I often sneak into her room when i come home late from work and just look at her sleeping for a while. I sometime wish that i could just cuddle with her and sleep next to her but now we both cant sleep very well at all if we sleep in the same bed. Kinda sad in way....
@@hazieandmotherhood my son started coming into our bedroom in the middle of the night, says: Mama and fall asleep right next to me. It’s the best. I love waking up next to him. However my husband is not a fan😅
I don’t know much about this parenting method, but I love the idea of letting the child have the room when they aren’t sleepy, instead of just the bed. Watching this little one get up and pick out another book to read by herself was so wonderful!
Hi, I just came across your video. 1. How did you teach Alina to eat without throwing stuff on the floor? 2. Do you find it difficult to go to the kitchen? Mine would scream and cry because we have gates to prevent her from going to the kitchen. 😅 3. How long did it take for you to teach Alina to brush her teeth and floss? Mine just cries if we try to hold her down after she throws her toothbrush onto the floor 😅 Thank you for your advice
Hi 1. From around one and a half years old, I had her clean up her own messes, which might sound a bit harsh, but it's made her more mindful while eating. She's now nearly 4, she's such a clean eater. 2. I got a learning tower and started inviting her to cook with me. It slowed down the cooking process, but she loves helping, and there's definitely no more screaming or crying. 3. Initially, it took some time to establish the habit of doing it independently. When she refused, I would say, "Mommy will do it for you if you don't want to do it," and then proceeded to do it anyway because it's something that's just not negotiable. hope this helps!!! 😊
I recently started watching your videos and i love it! Can you tell me what kind of bath chair your little girl is sitting in. I have a 18 month old and would love to start taking baths with him. thank you for the videos!
Thank you! The baby bathtub is from Korea and I actually thought about linking the bathtub in the description box however, I couldn't find any website that does international shipping. I also try to find products that are similar to this on Amazon and every bath tub I see is so bulky and big. Sorry!. This bath tub is called Hug baby Bungbung and I hope you can find something similar to this! ;)
Hi Hazie, what would your recommendation be for baby and toddler room sharing. Would you still keep the floor bed for 2nd child? Or would you put the baby in the crib with your first kid. Or is Montessori one kid/room?
Hi thanks for sharing. Your daughter is so amazing ❤️ how do you keep your daughter stay on the bed and not trying to open the door and walking outside the room? Because my son always try to open the the door and go outside looking for mom and dad. Thanks!
Hi! We had the same issues.. she walked around the house alone at night and I found it really dangerous so I placed a baby gate outside of the door and it works perfectly!
Eczema tip: there was a study comparing various lotions and their long term effects with eczema. While cerave did score well, Vaseline scored higher with reducing eczema over their lifetime. Obviously, so what works for your family, but as a fellow hereditary sufferer I wanted to pass on this info ❤
Hi, I loved your videos, I was just wondering where did you get the floor bed mattress next to actual bed, please I have a 18 months old baby and I am changing his room to Montessori room, and this video helped a lot , so thank you ❤😊
Hi Hazie! I really appreciated this video! Could you please share where your baby bathtub is from? We’ve been looking for one like that for our baby! Thank you!❤
Thanks for this great video, really appreciate. Please can I ask if your daughter gets cold in the night? Does she ever want/need a duvet or blanket? Thanks so much 🙏
Hi! Thanks for the comment 😄 My daughter didn't like blanket or sleeping bag at night so we got Dyson hot and cool and had it at the same temperature all night long to make sure the room stays warm enough for her. And it worked well for us!
Hi. First of all congratulations to you cute little girls. She is awesome. The things she can do are incredible. Your account is AMAZING too! Thanks for sharing ti all. Would you please let me know the name of the musical device? I'm looking for a simple musical device for my 1y2m old soon so he can choose his own songs by himself... If you have any other suggestion that's not this one I appreciate it! Thanks
Hi thanks for the lovely comment 😊 so happy to hear that you like my channel! The device is called Thinking pen and they are actually only compatible to certain Korean books.. If you are looking for a musical device for your toddler, I heard YOTO is also great that are available on Amazon, but i haven't personally used it with my child, but ive seen many positive reviews about it!
I love your channel & am looking to move my co-sleeping 2yo into her own room and love the idea of a floor bed! What temperature do you have the room set to so that you don’t need to worry about blankets or Alina being too hot or cold?
In winter wee set it to 23 degrees in her room, I know the recommended room temperature for kids are 20-22, but I found it too cold when I slept in her room.
Whats the little tiny night light you guys use? And the mini bathtub? Thank you for this video, its so helpful. Right now were going through a sudden rejection of naps all together even though our 19 m old is clearly sleepy. Its been hard on me as a very pregnant SAHM.
I love the independence. Needy kids grow up with horrible tantrums. Not all. But most. It surprises me how many adults act like two year olds. My eldest is 17 and I couldn’t be more pleased. Just so mature and calm. We are like best friends
Hello. Thank you for your video. I am very interested in your little girls small bath tub and would greatly appreciate if you can tell me where you got it from 😊
I have a floor bed too. We have the problem, that our baby (1 year today) always move in the night and wake up because he bump to the bed. My feeling is that he feels lost. Do have a tip what I could do?
Hi! Love your videos~ How did you get her to stay in the bed when you transitioned to floor bed? I transitioned my son out of the crib a few months ago (he's 18 mo) and it's been so hard because he just cries really hard and walks out of the room, if we put the gate I think he would just cry for a long time until we came. We have to stay with him until he falls asleep and he wakes up in the middle of night crying if we're not there. Any advice?
Hi! It's so hard watching your child cry isn't it, it sounds just like what we went through.. after night time routine (same routine everyday), I just walked out of her room whether she cried or not, and I waited 1-2 mintues before I went back to her room. And then after she settled a bit, i left the room again and waited just a little longer and then went back to her room. And repeated this process until she fell asleep. What I made sure in the transition was that the moment she falls asleep, she was alone. So she knows i am not there when she sleeps, so when she wakes up in the middle of night she isn't automatically looking for me. And i was consistent every single day until she finally fell asleep all by herself. My advice is consistency is the key and kids will EVENTUALLY LEARN. They really do. Dont feel too bad about leaving your child cry alone for a bit. (I know it's the hardest thing ever) once your child knows that you are just behind the door and you will be there when he really needs you, he will fall asleep independently. Wish you good luck mama!! 👍
I love this bed frame but hubby and I are nervous that as our baby grows they will climb up it and hurt themselves. We were both climbers as kids. 😂😂 Is there a way to combat that? I love this house looking frame but I’m nervous.
You can't really climb up the bed frame (it just seems impossible but active boys might be able to), but my daughter steps on the siderails, which can be quite dangerous. We're going to switch her bed to a toddler bed and our baby#2 is going to take over this bed due to that reason..
At what age are babies normally able to sleep independently without the crying hassle? Mine is 8 months and still cannot be left in bed without crying. Is it at least 1.5 years when it’s easier to do that?
Hi Hazie! I am wondering how alina sleeps now as she is older! My daughter also did great with her sleep routine and independently sleeping afterwards but now she is almost three and she cries more longer and demands various things and I am having a hard time with her staying in her room! What does your sleep time look like now?
Im thinking of doing another nighttime routine video with a 3 yead old! Alina demands various things too 😂 like a water bottle, lotion, and medications and whatnot.. i try to respond to her requests as calm and positive as possible and give what she wants (only things that are reasonable, though). And spend 10- 15 minutes lying in her bed with her reading, talking, lots of hugging and kissing, and then I leave her room while she is awake. Then she just gives me a good night kiss and accepts that it's time to sleep ☺️
Our son did the same thing at 3. He started crying and did not want to sleep alone. We would play music for him (Adele) to put him to sleep and would stay in the room too until he fell asleep. Sneaking out was tough and he would wake up at the slightest sound. We had a few nights of crying, but he eventually got back on the routine. He’s 4 years old and is pretty good about his nighttime routine. Yesterday, he finished dinner around 7pm, took himself into the bathroom, undressed and got ready for bath on his own. Read a few books and fell asleep before 8.
May I check what is the brand of the “light lantern” you were carrying around? Is there a light for her to switch on when she wakes up in the morning (assuming you are using black out blinds)
Hi , do you live in aus ? I was wondering where you got your korean story books from , I want to get some more for my son but I’m finding it difficult to get it shipped , do you have family that buy it and ship it to you ?
Hi! I do live in Australia and I bought some of our Korean books from a bookshop in Melbourne I think? www.mystoryhouse.com.au These guys have a good collection of korean books. I also get books from Korea, I'd buy them online and my mum ships them to Australia for me.
