no sleep for 10th night!!!!!

[robdan]

Hi

I'M up again at a silly hour on the 10 night I'm ssoooo tired
My daughter wakes up crying I go in n give her dummy etc and this goes on for 2 hours until I jus can't take no more and take her downstairs
She has a day nap and is eating and drinking pretty well I do think she's got her big back teeth coming so could hav something to do wiv it I just don't know what to do
Health vis said to just leave her to cry but iv tried and tried and she just doesn't fall asleep again at all only when she gets taken downstairs for a bit
I don't get a lot of support from partner he still in bed with earplugs and just now he came downstairs for a drink n said nothing but picked up a toy by door n said WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU BOUT TOYS INFRONT OF DOOR
That made me so angry I didn't even see the damn toy I can hardly see anything as havnt slept in bout 8 nights its alright for him he can just sleep not so easy for me

We don't have any family or friends to babysit her either so its really testing me at the min I'm a recovering alcoholic and there's a bottle of champs in fridge that wrk gav partner I am sssoooo tempted to jus hav a sip

Oh im so annoyed,tired and angry

Please advice wud be great

Thanks

Poor you how old is your daughter? We're going through something similar with our 2 year old at the moment so I feel your pain!

If your dd is teething then she's unlikely to fall asleep herself when she's in pain. Will she sleep on/with you? Have you been using teething gel and giving calpol?

You need to have a word with your partner, you really can't be expected to deal with the sleep deprivation alone. He needs to muck in, he's her daughter too!

Stay away from the champagne, that's not going to help anyone. And remember this will pass, soon it will all be a bad memory!

www.cry-sis.org.uk/ this website is a charity that run a helpline for people with babies that cry persistently or don't sleep, if you have no friends or family to help out they can at least listen to you and offer support. Please ask your partner to get rid of the champagne, that isn't very helpful of him. Can you ask him to give you some time to sleep in the day, that sounds like the least he could do. Sorry things are so tough.

thanks all for replying yea she eventually goes to sleep after she has played n mucked about abit
I jus bring her downstairs n she plays for a bit then gets tired but its every night at the min n I'm ssooo tired
My partner said for me to send her to a childminder so I get rest but he don't understand how much it costs n how long it takes to set it up its stupid to think I can jus call a childminder n out of the blue they will hav daughter
Sometimes I just don't know where men get their ideas from
This morning he woke up n moaned he was tired but he didn't get up wiv her??????
He don't take responsibility for nothing

I have just bought a bed off ebay to see if that we help as she won't be crying for me to get her out she can just get out andplay herself well I hope it wrks
Anyone else tried putting them in bed??

Thanks

How old is she? Being in a bed didn't help my son sleep better, but I got more sleep as he was happy to get up and play with some toys in his bedroom so I could sleep more :)

Have u tried either sleeping when she naps so you are getting more sleep, or cutting down her naps in case she's not needing as much sleep any more?

Poke Yea tried everything but last nite she was in her new bed n she was fine she woke 1 time n I let her cry went in n gave her a dummy then let her cry again for 15 mins then I went in there gave her a cuddle n stayed by her bed
IS put a big teddy nx to bed which she thought was me n she settled down n didn't wake again
So really happy today who knows bout tonite haha
I spoke to partner bout it all n he says it winds him up n that wen it first started he was going to kick us outta house haha charming or what ha

Well he sounds like a prince...... good luck with it all and I hope he grows up quickly and realises what a partner and father ought to be doing to support you and your DD.
