I’m just looking for some advice because I’m slowly losing the will to live.
at the beginning of the week my daughter who is 18 months old broke her cot and after some thought we decided to buy her a toddler floor bed instead of a new cot but she’s refusing to sleep in it. Every night we are fighting with getting her to sleep and are still fighting with her until 4-5am on a morning, thankfully this week both myself and my partner have had a week of annual leave and so it’s not bothered us that much - although it’s been mentally and physically draining we’ve managed to catch up on any sleep we’ve lost during the day. Tomorrow we are both due back to work and we know that it’s going to be even harder going to work on no sleep.
Have we done everything wrong in terms of getting her a new bed should we have just gotten her a new cot ?
we’ve continued with the same routine of her going to bed anywhere between 8-9 she goes in the bath & everything else in between but all she does is scream.
it’s getting to the point of it affecting our relationship as I’m finding it’s myself that’s dealing with her and im having to sleep in the bed with her just to get her to sleep. She can sleep for three hours and then wake up and it’s the same routine all over again. On average I’m having anywhere from 3-5 hours sleep and now we’re both back to work tomorrow I know I’m going to struggle with having a full time job and no sleep.
is there anything I need to change ? Anything I’m going wrong because I’m so mentally and physically drained.
any help would be massively appreciated.
