im lost
hi girls,
someone has come in my house and swapped my child!
Grace used to be so good and now she is a little sod! she does nothing but shout, not in a bad way more a listen to me sort of way but god its draining.
she used to sleep thru pretty much but lately she is waking every 10 mins for her dummy then at 1am she is wide awake and i have to put her in bed with us, which i hate doing and swore i would never do but i just wont get any sleep if i dont. im just moody lately and knackered.
im worried im a bad mummy.

im sur its just a faze and she will be back to her normal self soon. x
I don't know what to suggest about the sleeping Aoife's never had a dummy so I don't have that problem. If she wakes in the night I usually just leave her to soothe herself back to sleep unless she starts crying (which doesn't happen often).
All the best,
Steph
It isn't us, it really isn't, it's just them changing and my hv says stamping thier authority (not sure about that mind!)!!
Just come on here when you get a sec and are fed up that's what i do anyway!! x
was that wound up this morning i pulled the curtains back and pulled them off the rings so better go and fix them! lol

Taking them out in the day is always good, I take Gabe to the park and play with him a lot to tire him out. I also dropped his last nap which has helped no end, he doesn't really need it and he sleeps a lot better at night, before anything could wake him up but now he is so shattered he just falls into bed and is straight asleep!
If she seems genuinely unsettled at night I wouldn't worry about having her in your bed, sometimes you just need the sleep...
Have you tried some calpol or nurofen before bed just in case it's teething? When Gabe was teething badly I would give him nurofen every 4 hours in the day just to keep his pain relief topped up and that helped lots.
