Major separation anxiety
Show your support
@kellie it’s so hard isn’t it! We’ve taken the sides down and he doesn’t get out, he’s really good but doesn’t stop the separation anxiety he now has 😭
@Amy aww it’s a nightmare, ours hasn’t been going to bed untill like 10ish the last week or so taking ages to fall asleep an needing us there is exhausting 🤣🤦🏻♀️ your def not alone! Aww I hope mine does the same an stays in bed like yours when we put her down lol xx
@kellie yeah we’re exactly the same, it’s taking 1+ hours to get him to go down and then he wakes at least twice in the night needing us next to him again😵😵
Try some peek a boo/hide and seek/lift the flap books, have some fun in their rooms during the day and then say you need the loo and you’ll be back and come back within a minute. Lots of kisses and being silly and laughs (tickles, blowing raspberries etc) before sleep might help, baby sleep body lotion and leg massage, big squeeze for a few seconds and then place into bed. Try saying oh silly mummy needs a drink I can’t believe I forgot to have a drink, I’ll be back and place them in bed and go out snd wait a little unless they cry and repeat with drink/loo. Put a drink and a chew tube in bed to occupy them or a couple of books. Try any of these or all 😂
@Cara thank you for this! Some really great ideas and I’ll be trying them all 🤣
@Amy honestly I had THE worst time on separation anxiety throughout the first year and now I’m pretty confident that some of these work or all, I just adapt and add on things and they do work! Ps Not laughing at the situation it’s damn hard just laughing because if not I’d cry and at my list of things!
No advice but we are exactly the same! Last night she also decided to give me a heart attack and climb out of the cot so now need to take the side down to make it safe for her but I know I’m in for a rough ride with that also 🤣🙈 xxx
