Just a rant

I absolutely ruined my little girls bedtime/naptime routines and it was getting progressively worse/later every night because she wakes up late and then flights me at nap times too so pushes everything back 😭 yesterday was the worst and she went to sleep just after 11pm. She also has multiples wakes at night (EBF) so I’m absolutely knackered and appreciate fhe lie in. This morning she woke up at 10.45 so I thought I’d let her sleep and just give her one long nap in the day to reset everything and get her to bed at a decent hour so I put her to bed and she was asleep for 9. She then woke up at 1 which I thought was normal but she started babbling and seemed like she was awake. I tried for ages to get her to sleep and she was having none of it. She eventually fell asleep after 2 hours of pratting around 😭😭😭😭 the rage monster inside me wanted to scream!!!! I just feel so stupid for ruining her sleep with the late bedtimes and today with one nap whatever I seem to do just doesn’t work 😔

I'd wake her up earlier rather than try to fix with a nap, will be painful for a few days at least I imagine but waking her up at a set time in the morning is probably the only way to get back into a routine x

You might find the clocks changing on Sunday might help bring her forward an hour as well. Its similar enough for us, bedtime is meant to be 8.15 is but some days if naps havent gone to plan it can be as late as 9.30/9.45 and then if she wakes lots in the night Im too tired to wake her up early and reset so the cycle continues.

My little boy took 2 hours to get back to sleep last night too. He was fighting his last nap yesterday (an hour and a half it took to get him down) then 11:30 until 1:30 ish. Tried milk, bopping, singing, in bed with me. NOTHING WORKED!! I think sometimes babies are just rebels. I feel your pain maybe it's a new thing they start doing at this age? I pissing hope not. This little guy was running around on the bed, shouting his head off. When I got his to snuggle in with me he starting slapping my tit and putting his fingers in my mouth. Why are they like this

🤣🤣 sorry I also have a tit slapper 🤣🙈 But yeah also my 11 month old fighting sleep like crazy. He will scream out of tiredness but not let himself be put to sleep. I literally can't do anything apart from wait it out and eventually he'll take some milk and go to sleep 🙈

@CeeCee I feel you!!

@Lauren definitely doing that next time if I get into that vicious cycle again 😭😭😭😭

@Tasha they’re little devils sometimes 😂😂😭😭😭

@Jenny literally my life! They’re so tired yet you’re just waiting for them to eventually fall asleep 😭 hoping every time they feed they just Magically asleep 😭😭😭

Oh my gosh they are!! Hope you had a better night last night, I thankfully had no 3am tit slapping

@Tasha 🤣 hooray! No I had none either, though he did lean on it with all his weight when he woke up which wasn't the most pleasant 🤣🙈
