Having a hard time coping today. Dreading giving Florence her bottle at 11.30 and and putting her in her crib, we had a terrible night last night, so unsettled, it's the thought that she may do that again tonight! Going to be a long night, can't figure out why she won't settle for longer than 20 mins, think I've ranted on here about it a few times in last few days but I'm getting so frustrated 😢

@beck_yemm, aw just looked at your profile and see your lil boy is 2 months, please tell me it got better for you? By the way I have a Harvey too, but he's 13 lol! Great name! I can't really remember that far back when Harvey was just a few weeks lol so it feels like starting a fresh again lol x

@niems, aw Hun it's awful isn't it! All I can say is hang on in there, Florence slept much better last night so we feel better today, think it's a bit hit and miss at this stage so it's best to just try and go with it xxx hard I know xxx

That's really good...I have the same fear of the night time thing. I'm hoping it settles down for you too. @hawkie75 😊

@niems, I remember having the same feeling years ago with my son, it doesn't last long, although that's no consolation right now, best thing is to just think it's not forever and try and relax and see the lighter side of things, I felt incredibly low and tearful last night but look at me today much more positive!

@niems, believe me I felt like that yesterday, I felt negative about everything, that's what sleep deprivation does, there's always Another day, and things will get better and better albeit slowly, you may have bad days before it gets better but we'll get there honey x

@hawkie75, she slept for 3 hours last night which is a bloody miracle! I still feel like death but nowhere near as bad as I did! hopefully this is the start or something changing! x

@niems, yeah Florence cried and fussed and wouldn't settle in her crib till after her 2am ish feed, after that she was ok, we even went back over till 8.30 this morning, I'm still frustrated I can't get her settled early evening in her crib but I guess it's work in progress lol glad your little one did a solid 3 hours, it's a start Hun xxx
