Sleep advice!
Back story - newly single mum who’s moved back in with parents! I’m close to a meltdown with my LOs sleeping. She just will not let anyone else put her to sleep or soothe her when she wakes. I quite literally cannot have a life whatsoever or ever go out at all. Despite my mum and dad trying she literally becomes hysterical. She’s with them all day everyday and lets them do the whole nighttime routine until it comes to putting her in bed. Then it’s a bloodbath😭
Any tips or advice would be unbelievably welcome

@Em thank you so so much. I don’t think it’s to do with the move as we’ve been here for a month now and she’s really familiar with their place! I think it comes down to me being the only person who’s put her to sleep for 11 months :( I’m going to take your perfume tip and try that tomorrow!
No advice , just here in solidarity..your little one seems very much like my boy..my partner never been able to put him to sleep and even when he wakes and he’s going there and it’s not myself..he will scream..i don’t have any life either..can’t go even to drink a coffee around the corner😅

Hope you’re doing okay with the move and change in circumstances 💜 Do you think her need for you could be related to the move and her needing the consistency of you? Or was it like this before the move? If so, I would say that hopefully as she also gets used to the new normal, it should get easier. You’ve probs tried already, but if not, could you try doing the routine and putting her in bed together with one of your parents, even maybe your mum/dad holding her whilst you shush or sing or something? (Depending on your routine) then gradually decreasing your input. Also, do you wear a particular perfume that one of your parents could spray on a blanket or something whilst they hold her?
