I’m a broken woman. This kid just doesn’t sleep. I can count on one hand the amount of nights he has slept.
He won’t go to sleep, he won’t stay asleep, and even on the odd occasion that he does sleep he’s awake at 4am. The first year he didn’t sleep due to relfux, now it’s just because he hates me.
I’m sat here with tears and just can’t cope with it much longer. It’s not so much the lack of sleep but the lack of time. Once I do get him down I have an hour to myself before he’s screaming again. And it’s every day nearly.
We have tried everything: early to bed, late to bed, afternoon nap, no afternoon nap, no sugary food after midday, tiring him out, not tiring him out, white noise, Bath, no bath, something that smells of me, cuddle to sleep, self-settling, blah blah fricking blah.
I’m seriously losing it here.
