@Nicole it's so hard cos he gives up cos it really gets to him 😭
I'm in the exact same boat, Dad tries for 10mins before leaving him to scream and cry but I absolutely hate the cry it out method and he just gives up. But these past few days I've been unwell with mastitis and lo is seeking dad and refusing me and milk until bed time, but Dad won't do nap times or bed times as he wants time for himself. Tonight my lo has been awake since 11pm til 2pm just grizzly and wanting to play and Dad told him to shut up as he was tired when little one just wanted Dad not me. taken me so long to get him to sleep and I've ended up in the spare room co sleeping with a hoodie that smells of Dad as he wouldn't settle... so exhausted 😩
I am in the same boat, my little boy will just not settle for dad at all, I feel like we have tried everything, but still no change and he just cry’s until I come save him lol
We’re in the same boat at the minute, my partner tries so hard to settle him but he just won’t stop crying until I take him. Apparently separation anxiety can start setting in at this age so as exhausting as it is, I’m just going to do bedtime every night until this passes - hopefully it won’t be too long 😅
Hi everyone came across this post looking for solidarity as I'm in the same boat at 7 months. Did things change for you guys at some point?
@Sofi hi yes it did From about 9 months she totally settled! I found that taking turns really helped as I was abit of a controll freak and always ended up taking over. We sleep trained at 9 months and I seriously did not think it would help but she absolutely bossed and it we just did it one night and I would say it helped the first night but then I would say took about a week and she is now 21 months old and sleeps fine I boobed weaned totally at a year old and she goes to bed for anyone ❤️❤️ it does get easier mama you just have to be patient and understand that it won't be anything your doing wrong or your partner- often it's developmental ❤️ message anu time xx
My girls the same, she’s only just around 1/2 weeks ago stopped screaming everytime she’s passed to dad. I just made sure they spent a lot of time together, dad done bath times, tea time etc and that’s helped massively x
