I hate bedtime. It’s just impossible. We used to put him in his cot and walk away. What happened. Now I’ve to sit in his room 2 hours waiting for him to fall asleep. I can’t do it. Help!!
Might have to give that a go @michellelouise862, he would love that. Might try the slightly later bedtime too. Thanks
Aww bless him, hopefully it will start getting better for you soon duck, maybe try a Horlicks or a hot chocolate in a bottle before bed I find that helps mine sleep better as well xx
Aww I know the feeling all to well Hun, did he sleep any better for you last night ? Xx
He slept through till 5:30. And is now napping.
I've had many nights where I've been that exhausted trying to get them to sleep that I'd sit an cry , I also used to let mine fall asleep downstairs watching a cartoon an then carry them up to bed an they'd sleep all through, I find what ever is easiest do it, I've got 4 an 30 weeks pregnant with my 5th so I know all to well about it, x
There’s been plenty of tears here. When he wakes in the night and I end up spending over an hour in his room it pushes me over the edge.
Thanks @michellelouise862, I hope so. It started he was about 18months.
I can remember this stage it was so hard and tiring, it will get better , just bare with it , I think it's just phases they go through x
I slowly moved out the room with my lo, then id sit outside his door then I managed to go sit in my room, I could still see him down the hall if he got up. And now I can go down stairs! Takes a little while but I found this way he didn't become so distressed as we did the cio and he would make himself sick and stop breathing 🤦♀️
Think there is a thing you can search think it's called the disappearing chair which slowly moves you out the room xx
Nothing against cio as I used it when he was younger and it work then x
This is what we’re trying. He does the sick and not breathing thing. I can make it out of his room now but if I go further than the top of the stairs (just outside his bedroom door) he’s up. Thankfully he’s off now. Only taken just over an hour tonight. Will it just take less and less? My eldest has always been a great sleeper
@gen87 That's exactly how Noah was lol but yeah each night just got easier and less time spent. I found as well if he didn't nap during the day he would go straight of and if he did I put him to bed slightly later so he was just that more tired so I wasn't spending all night out there. I had to get him out of it before violet came as it just wouldn't work so thankfully this method worked 😊 fingers crossed he settles into it quite quickly x
Yeah I’m thinking we’re gonna have to give it a serious go. He gets so worked up sometimes he then can’t calm down.
We had to do the cry it out method. Not very nice but works! Xx
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Wish I could take a full body pic but his Doctor want me to keep him swallowed because his temperature has been really low which has kept me an my baby away from each other all day 😢😟 I haven't got a chance to be with him at all do to it she's been keeping him to keep a close eye on him. I haven't counted his lil toes or none yet 😟 but he's finally here now an I missed him so much omg but I wasn't about to rush them to bring him knowing his health comes first because if it wasn't some to be conc...

I have naked pics of him i want to put out. I want to call his job get him fired. Im so hurt. This is his first child n he dont even want to be here for the birth. 4 damn yrs n it come to this. What should i do? I want Revenge
Question. I just left my husband for cheating and now hes been harassing me. Hes threatening to come get our son. I dont care if he sees his son but I'm not comfortable with him leaving with him bc hes never taken care of him a day In his life and he might use him against me. Am I wrong for feeling this way??
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
Yeah I give mine either a hot chocolate or a Horlicks before bed , an it always seems to get them in a dozy mood so I take them to bed but a cartoon on for them in there room an there always gone in about 30 mins, xx
