AIBU to not rock and push my 21 month old to sleep during the day?

[dottytablecloth]

Especially as I'm 38 weeks pregnant and the wee monkey will invariably wake up and howl the second we stop.

I can't do it anymore- he has to learn that if he's tired he has to just sleep, doesn't he? Or am I being harsh?

I know he's tired now but in fairness he has a horrific cough which us keeping him awake. We've been for a 20 mins walk and I've pushed him round the house for 15 mins but I've had to stop and now he awake and crying. I know he's tired but I can't sustain this

He won't sleep in cot or on sofa during the day, buggy only.

How on earth do other people manage?

Is it v U of me to say to him "sod it, if you're tired, sleep."

He still needs a 2 hour sleep every day or he's like a demon.

Poor you. Do whatever you have to do to get by and do what's best for you.

It will pass. it will pass. Keep saying that to yourself.

I want to stop doing this also! I try the cot and cuddling watching tv and he goes vacant for a bit then he's up screaming. Being pregnant and tired I don't want to take dc1 on long walks for ages in the rain for a nap.

It's horrific isn't it?

Absolutely nothing is working today, the only thing he wants me to do is carry him around which I physically can't do as I'm so heavily pregnant.
