My dd is 4.5 month old. This past week she has hit regression and is ticking all the ‘leap 4’ boxes - cranky, whiny, clingy to me, napping badly, developing fast, being lovely, but also being hard work. Night times were good, now have gone to pot. She has hysterics before bed (that’s not new though). She wakes through the night, feeds, cries. She wakes early.
She has an aversion to my poor dad, who tries his best to win her round, but she cries at the sight of him.
She has never loved bottles, but this week is point blank refusing them. She breastfeeds to sleep.
After a lot of persistence today she did eventually take a bottle, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
Me and OH have an evening we can’t get out of on Friday. Nor should we really... I think parents should have away time as long as baby is safe and cared for.
My problem is worrying how everyone is going to cope. are my parents and baby going to end up as sleepless wrecks by Saturday morning? And if they do, does it actually matter, am I getting this so out of context. What is the worst that can happen?
Can someone with experience talk me down please?!
I’m non stop worrying about this, it’s hardly worth it, bit we really do have to go!
