Think I’m just looking for solidarity so I don’t feel like the only parent in the world who just can’t crack this!
please tell me there are parents out there who just never cracked the code on their baby’s sleep?
my first was awful for two full years, just stuck in the overtired cycle the whole time because no matter what I did or what routines I tried to create, she just wouldn’t sleep, naps were awful and she had loooong split nights about 5 nights a week and would wake every 45mins - 2 hrs.
my second one is now 8 months old and is just as if not more horrific, my first wouldn’t ever sleep in the car or pushchair which was so limiting and frustrating so she was worse there, but my second is so hard. He takes pushchair naps but has to be completely hidden by the sunshade and rocked for ageeeees sometimes and pretty much will have 30 mins each time except for the random occasion he’ll just have 2hrs. Even when I can sit with him for a good long nap, he’ll have a crap one next time and we’re back to overtired again. At night he is awful, feeds all night, wakes every hour at least, and is so squirmy and unsettled.
im not looking for advice because believe me when I say I have tried it ALL, but just some people who can relate because I really feel like the only person who just can’t do this and everything I do every day is completely pointless because we’ll never escape the overtired cycle:
my son is also an incredibly easy baby in all other areas of life so it’s even more annoying that I can’t just sort the sleep issue!
