18 month sleep issues
My 18 month old is still being rocked to sleep every night and during the nights if she wakes which is usually 2-3 times. We have put a floor bed for her and when she wakes one of us goes to settle her but we end up falling asleep there and now she expects it to be like that always.
I feel so down lately. Since my daughter was 6 months I have constantly told my husband lets get sleep help for her. I made calls, i tried sleep methods and non of it worked because he would always have a say by telling me that it was traumatising.
Fast forward today at 18 months old she doesnt know how to self settle. When i rock her she fidgets and is constantly moving her legs... not sure is she had restless leg syndrome to be honest. It takes an hour every night walking around rocking her.
I am now 21 weeks pregnant with number two and still my husband will not compromise on a sleep solution. He does the wakes up and what not now but its not ideal, she needs to learn and get the uninterrupted sleep she needs but he just doesnt get it.
Its really put a strain on our relationship and i feel angry all the time since my daughter was small because of all the sleep anxiety I have had to go through on my own in the earlier days. Being pregnant and feeling like this is really take a toll on me and i feel like my daughter deserves a happier mother. I dont know what to do anymore.
To top it off he didnt even remember my birthday today. I just feel so alone these days.
Sorry for the vent, i dont have anyone else who would understand.
