Hi All,
Need some advise on how to improve my DD sleep. She will be 2 end of September and suddenly will not go down to bed at night. I have always breast fed (when younger) and now bottle fed to get to sleep which I can see is where I’ve gone wrong. Now when I move her to her cot she will either wake on the way, won’t sleep at all when feeding or will go down fine but wake 30 minutes ish later and is wide awake and not interested in sleeping.
Mainly happens when my husband is home (works away few nights a week) but dose sometimes happen when I’m alone.
I hate to say I get frustrated and usually ends in bringing her downstairs where she ends up wanting to play (I know this isn’t the right step but when I’m tired and want to spend time with my husband it feels like only option).
Then she will come up with us and finally sleep between us.
Wondering if a toddler bed would help but then she can obviously just can out constantly.
This is my first and feel like I’ve failed by not having this sorted by now.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
thank you
