Currently going through the 18month sleep regression thats what im telling myself . Has been a decent sleeper and napper up until last week. She is shattered having been up since 7am as usual, had her morning poo, eaten a nice big breakfast and had lots of milk so hunger is not the issue. Put her in her cot at half past 11. Settled her with teddy and dummy and blanket... She is still talking away to herself and rattling about the cot despite me re settling her a few fucking hundred times. Do I just leave her in her cot? She is happy and fed and dry and warm enough. I feel guilty that shes been shut in a darkened room for an hour and ten minutes but surely she needs to learn that it is nap time and no, mummy isnt going to take her back downstairs - its time to fucking nap! If she started crying or sounded upset I would be there to soothe her in a heartbeat.
I know she is definately tired - rubbing eyes, yawning, grabbing the cushions from the couches and making herself a nest to curl up in. She becomes a monster late afternoon if she doesn't nap and I am finding it so hard to deal with.
For some perspective - I work evenings - late so I depend on a 30min snooze in the afternoon too!
Any advice?
