Please, please can someone help me. Or tell me im not alone.
My daughter is fighting sleep constantly and has done for three months.
She began fighting two naps per day, so we tried to tailor her days to one, bringing bed time forward etc.
Its still not worked, but two naps aren't working either. Shes now having split nights, screaming her head off. We are resorting to bottles, reading books during the night and even the tv sometimes when her tantrums are so bad.
She is teething and getting calpol when needed. We have always used a stay and support approach at bed time, so perhaps it is the failure to keep using this technique when she is waking at night... but it is so hard after an hour or so when shes just getting more upset as time goes on :( but again because we use stay & support, sometimes lifting her makes her go even crazier. She never settles in bed with me, ive tried this too.
Could anyone please share their schedules for naps, bed times , awake times or techniques for night waking? I have no idea what else to try. With COVID I dont see other mums at clubs etc to ask advice either. Im so lost and feeling like im failing at parenting.
