What do others do when there little darlings lol just refuse to lye down and go to SLEEP ... If he gets up he is miserable and when he is in his cot just screams for me im going NUTS
Husband is not home and im having a glass of wine .... yes i know its not even 6pm but i am going insane .... doesnt help when im sooooo PMS at minute!
Really needed to vent ...
It depends. How old is the baby?? Is it time for them to go down for a night sleep or is this a nap?? Is it a one off or a new, common behaviour?? Is the baby over tired?? Or transitioning to needing less naps through the day??
Enjoy the wine ;)
I lie down with them and give them a BF. Well, that's what I used to do when my children were little. Or pop them in a sling if I had to get on and do things.
sorry girls mmm forgot a few minor details .... Alistair is 13 months old and after i wrote that thread i screamed for help from older brothers which they did and do you reckon i could find the a bottle with teats NO NO NO !!! i thought i was going mad... so i rang DH and told him ' he is throwing tantrums i camt find the bottle and im going to sream and where are you?' he said ' im nearly home but i think you need to calm down... the bottle cant have dissapeared (which was true). He said its probably back teeth coming through put bonjella and some nurofen ... i said good thinking .... I then said to DH 'you know i wouldnt hurt him i just went nuts as i couldnt handle the crying and then i couldnt find the bottle etc etc"
Alistair had bonjella nurofen and a bottle (but bit my finger in the process (but i wouldve too if i were him lol)
I do not lose it like that at all so im hoping its just hormones ... or im preggers and dont know heheh
ps DH said ' i know you wouldnt hurt him .... have another glass of wine i love you ...'
These days, I just tell DS he can sit on my lap and we'll read more stories and wait for Daddy to get home. I wish I'd done that when he was younger instead of stressing about a set bedtime.
So long as the room's darkish and he's not running around madly, it doesn't really matter. DS goes to sleep beautifully now and I am sure that's down to me relaxing about bedtime routines more.
