Up until just over a week ago, My 7month old was such a good sleeper. She's go down no trouble, wake up once maybe twice through the night but would go straight back down after 20mins of feed. And then for about 10 days she was sleeping 7pm - 5am which was amazing! And then all of a sudden it stopped. And now she is just a nightmare. Fighting sleep, screams hysterically when I put her down for a nap or bedtime. She just wants to constantly be on me. She'll eventually go down for a few hours (usually around 7pm - 10pm) and then wakes up crying, which then turns to screaming if we leave her too long.
She'll settle for a feed and fall asleep but the minute she is moved into her cot she screams again. This will go on for hours and I'm starting to really feel low.
I'm so tired. I feel like nothing is working and I just want to give up. I'm emotional, I'm angry, annoyed, upset, resentful. I love her to the end of the world but when it gets to evening time I'm filled with dread and fear.
My husband tries but it useless and makes the whole thing worse if he tries to help.
What is going on? Will it ever end? I've tried everything! Controlled crying, soothing music, white noise, feeding to sleep, co sleeping, sleeping on her nursery floor, comforting her in her cot...the only thing that works is if she can sleep on me. I can't cope much longer. I feel like I'm gonna break down 😩
