Lashed out at my baby for the first time
Never gotten angry with him before, he’s 11 months.
My son usually sleeps for 2.5 hour for his first day nap. He woke up after half an hour so I went back to try to put him back to sleep. I did the usual, nurse him, pacifier, rock him. I was rocking him side to side, up and down for almost 50 minutes straight. He usually takes about 15-20 mins to sleep but this was getting ridiculous. He was sleepy, his eyes kept dozing off then opening again. I just couldn’t handle it anymore, I was so sweaty trying to put him to sleep I locked myself in the bathroom for 30 seconds to run water over my body. He was screaming, banging on the door. I couldn’t even feel sympathy for him, I was just so tired. I kept saying to him “you can keep crying, you don’t want to sleep so you will suffer today for your next nap”. I know I probably went overboard but I just get so tired. Now that he didn’t sleep long he will need to have an earlier nap which will be a struggle again. I’m so sick of killing myself to get him to sleep.
