Hi All
My little boy goes to nursery in the morning until 1.30. I then pick him up and he usually falls asleep in the car and then I take him to bed to have a nap.
Yesterday however the nursery didn’t change his nappy and I couldn’t leave him with a dirty nappy for another couple of hours so when we got home I decided to change his nappy.
It totally disrupted his sleep and he couldn’t go back to sleep.
The whole day was a nightmare. He wouldn’t stop crying unless I took him for a drive in the car. I took him for a couple of drives and he fell asleep in the car but as soon I stopped the engine he’d wake up.
I’ve never seen him so distraught.
There was nothing I could do to calm him down. Nothing worked. Distracting him for a bit by looking out the window in the evening did work but only for a little while and then he’d start crying again.
I’ve never seen him so tired that he can’t rest. Did this ever happen to you and do you think this is normal behaviour for an overtired child?
Thank you!
