Ok I’m seriously losing my mind
My LO has been fighting naps for the past week. It seems to be getting worse and worse. I’m honestly at my wits end. She has began not sleeping well at night as a result which is worse because I am having no sleep at night, along with no respite during the day as her naps are so poor and there is always a fight before it. We are at 15.30 today and she has only napped 1.5hrs in total, and that’s over x2 naps. I’ve had tried rocking, swaying, singing, darkened room, white noise, pacifier etc. She spits out her pacifier just before she drifts off, so then wakes up again, sometimes she just doesn’t even take it. When she does eventually get off it’s usually by crying herself to sleep (not on her own, I am there in the room with her!) but once she’s asleep she only naps 40 minutes max and wakes up. She wakes up grumpy and still yawning, obviously because she’s still tired. I do the whole process again but only it’s harder because she’s already had a quick nap. If I say screw it and get her up to play she just gets grouchy and angry and cry’s until I pick her up. I try and sing to hee to fall asleep on me (as I honestly don’t mind if she sleeps on me as I’d rather she slept) but she just starts to push against me just as she is starting to drift off. It seems she getting ever angrier the more she starts to fall asleep!?? Please has anyone got any tips on what to do? I’m a FTM and so exhausted. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I am struggling to enjoy my time with my LO because of this as most of my time is spent trying to get her to nap, or listening to her cry or be grumpy because she needs sleep. 😓😞
