Hello
Just a hand hold really...going into my second night with a 13 month old doing controlled crying and just feel a knot of anxiety about the night stretching ahead of me and what will be in store
Have had a bad sleeper since she was born really but has been getting progressively worse since her first birthday I would say, to the point I've just spent nights crying so me and my partner decided two days ago enough is enough!
Had him here with me last night and it was awful, I just feel such a bad mum and want to cry hearing my daughter breaking her heart it's just awful. My partner is away tonight and I am actually scared I will give in!
She went down tonight after 20 minutes of crying but tonight is her first night where she won't get a bottle in the night so I am dreading it - I think she's been using it as comfort and not due to being hungry as she just cries after when I leave the room anyway.
Last night was our first night, she cried on and off every hour until she slept for two hours from 3-5am but it was pretty awful.
I hope we can crack this because none of us can go on and it's started effecting my partners work and my daughter is constantly over tired!
I'm praying it works.
Anyone got any advice or experience I would really appreciate it!
