Night wakes

@Naomi I’ve been trying to cut out my little girls night bottles but I don’t think we’re quite ready for that yet. She’s got her goods night and bad nights but I feel soo awful for getting angry at her😓
Yes! I get so frustrated and grumble to myself. But I always try to remember that my little boy isn’t giving me a hard time on purpose he just doesn’t understand. I breast feed still and he needs boob to go back to sleep and my nipples get so sore when he is on, off, on, off all night which doesn’t help as he’s a lazy latcher. Don’t feel awful you’re doing your best. You love your little one and your little one loves you but it’s hard work being sleep deprived! X
Don’t feel bad you’re human you’re allowed to feel angry. I get frustrated with mine too
@Holly I’ve been trying her with water through night to try and get her off the bottles but I’m starting to wonder if that’s why the last 2 nights have been absolutely horrific. I’m just so tired though and I don’t think it helps that I work in childcare as I’m around kids quite literally 24/7 7 days a week and I’m constantly on my feet well x
@Naomi I know I just feel awful x
Maybe shes having molars coming through? Mine usually has nights like this before the teeth make an appearance
@Hol She’s showing no signs of teething. When she wakes up she’ll just sit in the next to me (yes she still fits it in) and she’ll just be saying hiya and smiling. She sleeps for the first half in her own room but once she wakes up she won’t settle back down in her cot x
Yes, same here.. i get annoyed and then feel bad..😔he never slept through but past 2 months have been carnage and i am snapping easily unfortunately
Thats the only sign for teething for mine he shows no others How much does she sleep in the day? Or her wake windows?
@Vanesa It is soo hard. Makes me feel like such a bad mam x
@Hol She sleeps about 30 minutes in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon. She doesn’t sleep past 4pm and goes to bed around 8/9pm x
All the bleeding time. I cry and start getting angry. Didn’t help that my partner had a go at me but hey ho, managed to get him back to sleep after being awake 4 hours 😭
@Lucie I’ve had to work my partner up this morning to get him to get her back over for me which he “did” while snoring his head off again while my little girl was trying to get to me in bed and fell back asleep while in his arms but holding my finger😩
Could you maybe try dropping her morning nap and do 1 long nap 11.30/12-2, bring bedtime forward by half an hour? May help she could be over or undertired which will have them up in the night

@Hol She’s not ready for 1 nap. We’ve tried that a few times and she’ll just be in a foul mood and have 20 minutes in the afternoon which is nowhere near enough for her. Bringing bedtime forward she treats it like a nap. It’s not a constant thing of bad nights either it’s a couple of night a month
Ok just trying to help
My twins are 14 months and still wake up every night. Usually they’ll go back to sleep with a bottle but sometimes they’ll be up for hours like your LG
