My daighter was the same so I started using music to get her to sleep it just a lullaby that's just on repeat on the monitor for about 30 mins and her dummy I cuddled her with the music at first then lay next to her then popped her in the cot on her own it was slow process it took her about 6 months but we got there in the end and I know what you mean I'm a single mum to its hard when you barely get any time to your self what I do is I have a quick 10 min shower at night before I go bed to wash myself and my hair it's not much but it all I have time for as by then end of the day I'm that exhausted I just want to go bed xx
Also your doing a great job you have done nothing wrong your a good mum don't ever doubt that xx
@Rosa the half hour doesn’t bother me too much it’s just really making me struggle. We do lots or playing, climbing, running around during the day and we put all toys away and lights out and things at around 7-8 but he just seems none stop. Even once he is tired he just doesn’t seem to go to sleep. It’s very rare he ever has a daytime nap only if he is poorly. I just feel like it’s my fault like I’m doing something wrong. And as much as I want to have a bath once I get him to bed I feel like I’m going to drop myself knowing I only have 7 hours to tidy up, clean and get some sleep
