She won't go to sleep.

[MummaSue]

I'm at the end of my rope tonight. DD is exhausted, been awake since 3.30pm (when she woke from her nap).

She's been irritable and cranky all day, I think her top teeth are coming through and she has had a fair bit of wind (burps) all day - I have no idea what I may have eaten to have passed through my breast milk to make her like that.

She won't feed to sleep, I've left her in her cot to roll around and she cries - of course I won't leave her to cry so that doesn't last long. DH is now rocking her and things have gone quiet but that has taken 2 attempts. I've taken myself out of the bedroom because I'm getting frazzled and she can probably sense that.

Don't really need an answer, just wanted to put it out there.

I'm so sick and tired of reading FB status updates of friends with babies younger than DD who sleep through the night and go to sleep straight away when put down in their cots. It's BS.

I love feeding DD to sleep, I love co-sleeping, it's just been a difficult day

Thanks for reading.

hope she settles for you soon.

i hear you on the fb statuses....now repeat after me ...they will sleep through when they're ready, they will sleep through when they're ready (please let it be soon, please let it be soon.....)

really hope those teeth make their way out sooner rather then later.

another that hears you on f/b updates about sleeping through bubbas. She will sleep through when she is ready, in the meantime remind yourself how many more hours you are getting to spend so much time with her while she is little.

Your friends have pretty boring fb updates
Hope tomorrow is a better day

Your friends have pretty boring fb updates

Except for me

Sue, I promise that I won't put a status update on my FB about my DS's sleep patterns. I also think they're BS. And I don't understand why it's considered a good thing to update your FB with your child's sleep patterns...is it a bragging thing? Cause that's just rude.

Hope you get some rest soon. My DS has a cold so we're not allowed to put him down on his own today...best get to bed myself.

Definately sounds like some teething is going on there. DS has been like this for the last week or so just not wanting to sleep no matter what you try. If it makes ya feel better DS is 11.5months and never slept though and generally wakes up at least 2-3 times a night

I hate those facebook status's as well!

Do we have the same child? My LO had a 1o min and a 20 minute sleep today. She then went to bed at 7 and woke up 10 mins later. DH patted her and got her back to sleep for 20 mins before she was up again. She had another 5 min sleep. Currently feeding again and hopefuly will go to sleep and bed again.

I don't have a solution, but just want to let you know you are not alone.
