Sleep and tantrums

Yep! My LO is screaming like never before. Has been waking in the middle of the night screaming and taking a while to resettle again. We cosleep (not wanted but unfortunately a habit we got into) and will scream (again like never before) before going to sleep, sometimes when waking up. No clue what has gotten into him but I’m prayyyyyinngggg it’s just a phase that’ll end soon. At my wits end!!
@Talia glad I'm not alone co sleeping is definitely a habit I want to get out of 🤣
Sleep has never been great with us but we have some good spells and some screaming phases. So I want to say - hang in there! Every time we had screaming it passed within a few days. Sometimes it was due to illness, sometimes developmental, sometimes separation anxiety. It will pass, you just have to ride it out 🙏🏻 And as for tantrums, omg yes :( Today he had a meltdown because he wanted a bun with peanut butter - I tore a small piece and handed it to him (thinking I won't waste the whole bun if he later decided he no longer wants it), he started screaming and literally melted onto the floor because he wanted the whole thing right away. 🤷🏻♀️🫠 This happens several times a day. He's ill so I get it, he's not in a mood but it's so taxing for me!
My girls sleep has never been great but for the last week it has got ridiculously worse! Up every hour without fail. She is also throwing tantrums, seems very frustrated and has also started to walk Guessing it’s ‘another phase’ 😬
