She's 19 weeks
She's tired.
She rubs her eyes
She cries because she's tired.
Will she sleep? Will she fuck.
She has never slept well. From the moment she stopped just sleeping and eating as a newborn she's not napped unless it was an accident of hers.
She won't boob to sleep
She won't be jogged or jiggled
She won't be put down and left
She won't be driven
She won't sleep in the pram
She won't sleep in the sling with me walking miles.
She fights it so so hard. She's so interested in whatever's going on. Slightest bit of noise and she pings awake.
She barely gets 8 hrs overnight because she won't go down at a bed time and hates going to sleep
I am on my knees.
If she does accidentally fall asleep she pings awake after 20-30 min. Shows signs of tiredness but won't sleep
Right now she is screaming with exhaustion at my husband who is pacing with her.
I am SICK of people saying "oh I'll take her, we'll go for a nice walk and she'll fall asleep" only to have her returned to me with "oh she fights it doesn't she? None of mine were like that"
Thanks.
What the hell do I do?
I don't drink caffeine. She's not getting caffeine through me. We have a bedtime routine. I don't know what to do.
I absolutely abhor CC but I am close to just dumping her in her crib at nap times and just fucking off because I don't know what to do.
