    Will I ever get sleep

    Dd is 7 months and I've survived this long by holding onto the hope she would have outgrown being so clingy at bed time

    Day naps she only goes to sleep in her rocker in her room but she will do it without me but come night time it's a constant battle she goes to sleep easy enough most nights by either feeding to sleep in bed or being bounced to sleep but I want to be able to put her in bed and have her fall asleep herself but without her crying for hours I tried controlled crying for 1 night and we were both just traumatized

    She won't have a bar of dh and will scream and work herself up but she loves him during the day

    I'm at my wits end and I can't think straight I want to be able to spend time with dh at night before bed and I need a break so I can work on recovering from PND

    I dunno whether I need advice or encouragement but I have every man and his dog telling me I'm creating bad habits but as far as I see it she's just a baby that needs her mummy a bit more and I'm just hanging onto the hope that maybe she will outgrow it soon
