Hi everyone,
Really wanting some advice and hope you can help / share some of your experiences.
I have a 7 month old and a 5 year old.
I suffer desperately from anxiety every day and find a routine / structure really helps ( keeps me going and feels in control!)
When my second was born, I couldn’t really cope at first as they are obviously newborn and have no routine. I felt like I was going mad!
So far my girl has settled really well now into a routine - approx one hour in am and nearly 2 hours pm and also sleeping through from 6pm-7.30
However ... now she’s completely fighting the afternoon nap
I don’t know what to do or how to combat this.
I really need her to have that nap 1-3 as then have to do the school run.
A family member suggested dropping the morning nap so that she definitely sleeps in the aft - but that would mean going from 7.30 till 1 without sleep.
I don’t know what to do, so would really appreciate any of your stories, what you do , routines etc if you have an older child too and have to work in with them
Many many thanks in advance , I really look forward to hearing your advice!
