Holiday sleep hell

[Bubbagirl]

Went on holiday yesterday. Flight was awful time so obviously massively disrupted little ones (6months) sleep. But I now feel I am having the most terrible holiday which isn't fair on my husband or 3year old or my mum and step dad who came with us.
Last night I was up every 45minutes having to resettle her. She won't sleep in the cot she won't even sleep on our bed she'll only sleep on me or hubby. (This is a baby who usually self settles for naps and always self settles for bedtime and does a good 6-12hours without waking).
Last night in the end we gave in and just let her sleep on us but now she has screamed the place down for both her morning naps.
Last night I had to abandon my dinner and go back to the room with her as she was just miserable (&this was an early dinner pre bedtime).
Also missed breakfast this morning as was trying to settle her for morning nap and she screamed on anyone but me.
Am I expecting too much for her to sleep in a strange cot different environment after a disrupted night?
She also is screaming in the buggy and just wants me to carry her. She'll go to my mum or hubby for a few minutes then screams for me (she was going through a bit of separation anxiety before we left).
We are all sleeping in the same room (apart from mum and step dad) so difficult to just leave her to scream. I tried for her morning nap just leaving her for a bit as she was just crying a little but then it escalated to a full on scream? Hardly taking breathe kind of scream.
She is currently asleep on my shoulder while i cry and write this, sat in a dark (far too hot or far too cold room - aircon never right!) and I can't even lay her on my bed and sleep next to her as she screams again 😩
I am exhausted and feel it's only going to get worse.
Also terrified about when we go home that she'll want this all the time now and don't know how to stop it. I'm ok with letting her cry a little bit but screaming and sobbing I can't handle.
I literally want to get the next flight home!
Any advice or reassurance much appreciated as right now I can't stop crying and hubby and I are arguing a lot!

Well it just got a whole lot worse...lo has had a stinking cold all day and we've now been up all night as she has croup.
We ended up taking her to see the doc on sight at 3am! He thinks she's fine but wants us to see paediatrician in the morning just to be sure.
She has slept on us all night as trying to keep her upright.
Exhausted! Why did we ever think a holiday with a 6month old was a good idea!!

My daughter was like that at the same age. She was fine as soon as we got home.

Ive had this happen before when on holiday and it turned out that she had a bad cold and it wasnt really to do with being away at all. Fingers crossed that she's better in a day or two and you get a nice final few days of hols x

Sorry to hear you are having a tricky time. Firstly try not to stress yourself with what might happen tomorrow/next week/when you get home. It takes us all a little while to adjust to a new routine on holiday and babies are no different. My ds3 is 6 months so I understand it’s at that point of exhaustion and you will have been looking forward to this holiday so much which is what will be making the difficult times feel worse than if you were at home. My advice would be to do what you need to do to get through the next 48 hours and then reassess. Find a good book/kindle book that you can read while she naps on you if need be. When she’s awake and happy escape to the pool for a swim on your own etc. It will get better. We have done several long hauls with my other 2 as babies and we always make sure we go longer than a week as the first few days are usually wiped out by us all settling into a holiday routine. It only usually takes a few days back home to revert to the old routine too.

Thanks all! Since she's been poorly I've actually chilled a bit more about her sleep as most important is she gets better...she's so snuffly but the croup seems to be on the way out thankfully.
Thanks so much for all your support and reassurance it really does help!
I'll post again once we're home to let you all know how she settles back! 😂🤞

How is she bubba?

Hi @Tryingno1 thanks for asking!
Well, naps yesterday were awful screamed the house down and we resorted to rocking her to sleep in the end (to get just 30mins!)
At bedtime did the usual routine and she went down quiet but then started crying (not quite the Naptime screams but enough!) but I was determined not to rock/feed her to sleep so I just kept going in and cuddling her or just shush pat and after 30mins she settled herself to sleep and slept for 10hrs!! Woohoo!!
She wouldn't settle back down after the 10hrs so was up very early but I got 10hrs so I'm pretty happy!
First nap today was so early due to early wake up but she settled herself after a bit of a cry so that's positive too! (Although only slept for 30mins again)
To be fair he 30min and early wake up was a bit of an issue before the hol (not quite this bad) so need to work on that anyway. But if I get 10hrs straight at night and in her own bed then I'm happy!
Thanks for all your support everyone who commented 😊

Good hope they continue to improve and hope ur not scared of ever going on holiday again

Thank you! Haha, I won't be jumping at the chance of a hol for a little while I don't think!
