DD2 11 months fights sleep, every sleep. She is tired but WILL NOT drop off to sleep herself, I have to be there rubbing her back, lying her back down, and lots of other various things.
If I leave before she is completely asleep we start the whole cycle again. Feel completely and utterly sick of it.
Once she's gone down for a sleep at night which takes at least an hour of this - she will then wake up around 10pm and I can't get her back to sleep so I end up putting her in with me. She doesn't sleep that well at night and has between 1 - 3 feeds - I've started to water these down.
My husband can't get her to sleep at all - the few times I've ventured out of the house in the evening I get a call to come back because she is screaming the place down and he can't settle her.
Feel really trapped, can't make plans or anything.
At this point I feel like I'd happily let her cry it out but I can't becuase DD1 who is 2 wakes up and then it really kicks off.
Do most babies just get put down and they drop off??????? it seems like a dream! To top it off I'm back at work next week and there is no way my mum is going to be able to get her off to sleep for a lunchtime nap so it's going to be a nightmare - overtired and if I get her to sleep when I come home from work around 3.30pm then she won't go to bed at 7pm
Help, feel rubbish.
