im having awful trouble with my dds sleep. ive changed her bedtime to between 8 and 9 now to try to get her to sleeping and also stop the 5am wake ups - she has me up many times at night and is 14 months.
dh takes her 2 nights after his work - from 5.30 to 7.30. she falls alseep in the car and then is transferred to her cot asleep. the problem with it is that, if he brings her home early, she falls asleep in the car, its too early of a bed time for her it really affects her sleep at night. so i told dh now that im trying a later bedtime, he needs to bring her back later as then she will fall asleep. he is not doing it. tonight he brought her back early... she woke up, and this is the other thing that can happen - if she wakes up after a nap in the car, she will be up very late tonight before she'll go to bed.
it all sounds very complicated doesn't it? to me its pretty simple. but dh seems not to understand. im tempted to say i think she would be better just being at my house during the week. her staying over at his is not an option. anyone know what i should do? ive been working on her sleep now for awhile, im completely shattered, and the little things count when it comes to bed time routines, but the little things don't count when it comes to exdh's who don't have to get up during the night or in the am. anyone get where im coming from
