The biggest challenge we are facing is actually transitioning our toddler from a cot to an actual bed! It’s a big transition for the whole household to adjust to not to mention the anxiety that I get fearful and worried that she may roll out.

Having to put up with the whinging during teething time, and always on the alert when they start to walk

Chasing after my little one and keeping up with her is my biggest challenge and with this awesome Owlet sock I can rest easy knowing more about my beautiful baby than ever before and keeping track of her growing body is now a breeze. What a great idea!

From being the crying pooing stage to the inquisitive wanting to touching and feel everything, and we now can speak and demand anything we want … it’s a new type of parenting altogether

Is very interesting and hard for every mum

Learning to let go a little bit more each day so they can be independent. Being a pregnancy loss Mumma this is so hard.

Having to remember to feed them solid food, not having them stay where you left them

Toddlers being able to get out of their beds and waking in the middle if the night to find your child staring at you

Lack of sleep

Having to be on the go ALL the time, a newborn you can duck to the loo or do the dishes with them nearby, knowing they aren’t going to empty a cupboard or the bin for you.

The fight against nap time abd bedtime as well as transitiining into a toddler bed.

Keeping an eye on them at all times, it doesnt take long for them to run off, I ducked inside for a second to grab something and went back outside and he was gone, we found him pushing his truck up the road.

Wanting to support their growth, development and independence and accepting that not needing mama every second is a good thing.

The Tantrums, i think as each year goes by, you tell yourself its going to get easier but it never seems to. Another year older just means a change of challenges and from Baby to Toddler welcome to tantrums especially when you are juggling more than one child

When my daughter started to walk quite early and got into everything and climbed everything. Being a first child I wasn’t ready and had to get things baby proofed quick smart.

The change from newborn to toddler comes with the sudden arrival of an attitude in your little one. No longer are they a sleepy Dino-snore, they are now a Toddler-saurus Rex!

Getting some sleep as once they are mobile every noise sounds like an escape.

Getting him to sleep in his own bed and staying in his own bed, he just loves to cuddle with mum and dad.

Dealing with letting them be a little more independent

Having eyes in the back of your head – as soon as they learn to walk then it’s constant vigilance…. my nerves were shattered from constant worry and observation, my young one wandering off means it’s not a game of Guess Who? but Guess Where?!!!
