End of my tether

[boyse4]

I honestly don't even know what to do.. My almost 11mo ds is my world and I love him more than I ever thought I could. He's cheeky and smiley and funny and makes me laugh everyday.

But he does not sleep and he winges endlessly. He's done it basically since he's been born, he didn't sleep at night well at all until about 9 months then he started to improve. But he's never ever napped well in the day, every day is a battle for sleep and I just don't know how to cope anymore 😭 I feel like my life is devoted to listening to the winge day in day out and all been made worse by his first cold that he's had for about a week.

Don't really know what I want from this.. maybe just a rant. Or someone else in the same boat.. how do I not lose my mind!

Are you at home with him ?
Do you go out each day ?
Do you and your dh / dp take turns to get a good nights sleep on alternate nights or for 1/2 the hours each night ?
Are you trying to make him have a nap in the day, or not ?

(Just to get a picture of where you are up to, so people can help)

Its so hard isn't it. I find getting out and about really helps. Even if it's just for a long wander round the supermarket and then a walk to the library. It means naps are in the pram or the car so there is less battling, and whinging seems to be less because there is more to be occupied by/I don't notice the whinging so much. I struggle so much when we have a day just in the house.
