last night at bedtime

Izzy was a complete nightmare and i was in tears. She had her usual routine which is fed,bath,growbag,fed,bed but was refusing to go to sleep. I had a tummy upset but plodded on all day.Her dad was on nights so it was just me for some part of the day.I managed to have an hour sleep in the day which gave me more strenght for her strange mood at bed time. I BF her and got her to sleep 4 times which made me really sore which reduced me to tears. She then woke up 15 minutes later crying. I left her to cry for a bit because i knew she wasnt hungry, needed winding,changing and all the other checks and she eventually went off. It wasnt a proper cry she was doing so i knew she was tired. Basically from 7pm it took me nearly 2 hrs to get her to sleep. I think she did have a little of what i had during the day and was dreading my night with her but as it happens she slept from 9.30pm-4am then 4am- 7am.



Ive fell into the habit of breast feeding her to sleep and i really dont know how ive done it but i guess when she cries i never know if she is hungry so i feed her and then she falls asleep.She also wont accept a dummy but i keep trying her with one but she spits it out. Because i feel poorly everything seems 100 times worse.I do feel alone with the sleeping issue because she wont go to hubby at all at night. I tried to rock her to sleep but she gets into a state. On a positive,there have been times when i can put her in the cot and she self settles but other times she wont do it.



No need to reply really. I just feel better getting off my chest lol
