So my partner has been having my little one for the last 3 weeks as he’s off work due to the virus and I’m not. He lets her nap when ever she wants he holds her pretty much all day!! I’ve had her in the same bed time routine for months and I stay upstairs with her with the tv in quiet and she will sleep until around 4am sometimes earlier but not too much of a big deal. Last night my partner decided to come to bed earlier to watch a film. She woke up I went to settle her in her bed. He got her out once again and cuddled her to sleep.

I put her back to bed and every 4 minutes she would scream in her sleep it’s not a real cry it’s this horrible shouty cry. I have to be up at 6 am for work so going to her every few minutes was awful. At 2am I completely gave up and she came into bed with us something I have not done in a very long time. She settled well for a good hour or 2. Of course I’m wide awake as my partner was in the bed and it was not safe sleeping. She then went back to the shouting if she was not snuggled right in. Please tell me it was just a one off and my partner has not ruined months of routine with 3 weeks 😭😭😭😭
