Help

I’m so tired, I get frustrated so easily. Whenever I put my daughter to bed at night she cries and protests and asks to be hugged. Which I will hug her. But I’m not sure why she does this every night. She knows it’s time for bed and she will immediately start crying. At first I thought it would pass but it’s been going on for about 2 months now. Not sure what I should do.

Hey mama you are doing a really good job as a mom, her not wanting to let you go shows how much she loves you. Bed time is so hard! I have a two year old and 7 month old and I’ll be honest with you it’s not easy to listen to them scream and cry but lay them down give them kisses and go sit in the living room and watch your favorite show. If you keep going back and forth back and forth they will keep crying because they know you will come and check on them. But you did what you believe is best for you and your daughter. This is what I had to do with my two year old and he is sleeping so good and my 7 month old is doing really good to. I will give her one of my sweaters so she has my smell to sleep with and that helps too. You are doing really good and you are an amazing mom!❤️

I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so alone. She yelled at me yesterday. She will also run away from me when it’s time to go do things like change her diaper or get her dressed things like that.

I’m so sorry it’s so hard! My two year old has bit and scratched me before while putting him to sleep and it’s so hard to stay calm. You have to stay consistent when laying them down if they run from you, you grab them as fast as you can. You know your daughter best and every parent is different but when I lay my two year old he will scream for a few minutes and sometimes throw things but staying out of the room has always helped me. I’m sorry I know you are tired and again it’s so frustrating but you are not alone I promise

My son is also at that phase of doing the opposite on everything. I try to keep my cool but it is definitely really hard, but I also try to get down to his height and explain to him what we are about to do and for what reason, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, all I know is that he won't be this little for long and it will pass. A glass of wine before the struggle helps too, you are doing just fine and are amazing for trying cause girl there is not that many that care to even put their babies to sleep.

She’s just my baby and probably the only one I’ll ever have. I just feel like I’m ruining everything for her

Same, but you're not, we're not. Take your time putting her to be, something I learn from my 2 year old, you can't really rush them to sleep. I have the TV in his room. I sometimes put on blues clues the old version for less color and it puts him to sleep so fast. You'll find what helps your daughter, and some moms will agree with the method and some won't but what matters is your mental health and your babies'
