My babies have 11 months between them. Ds is due later this month. Now I'll have the off night where dd sleeps through. Which is brilliant, but the waking in the night still doesn't bother me. I mean, I'm tired, yes. But she needs my comfort which I'll never deny her. She always ends up in my bed which I feel like now I need to nip in the bud. She just doesn't like her crib and screams every time she's in it. This is another problem. I think I'm just going to get her a bed. She has no problem in any bed. (my mom's etc) just her crib :( I love having her in with me but with ds due, I don't want to risk anything.
So dd fights sleep. She has enough naps throughout the day and enough food, proper routine, I've tried everything and without fail her fight will be half hour screaming. I never leave her and cry it out sounds horrible. She likes me close and I'm always here for her. But I don't understand what I can do to make it better for her.
I'm expecting it to be hard with two in terms of waking one another up. Newborn sleeping patterns and night feeds etc, I'm worried about them both waking each other up and dd being overtired due to ds and waking her up every 3 hours in the night and dd waking ds up when it's very important they both sleep properly.
Can anyone offer advice on how I can make bedtime less of a fight for dd? I hate hearing her scream. I put her to bed at the first signs of her rubbing her eyes etc. In the middle where I know she's tired. But I just want her happy
