Need help getting my almost 5 year old to bed. He’s always been a good sleeper but for the past week or so he won’t go to bed. Nothing has changed with his bedtime routine. It’s taking my dh and I over an hour to get him to sleep. I don’t know what to do anymore. It’s making dh and I upset then we aren’t in a good mood after he’s asleep. What do we do? I may check back tomorrow cause I’m exhausted and just want to sleep. But any advise Is welcomed! Please help
When you figure it out let me know. This is me almost every day
I'd give it time to see if it goes back to normal. I've read that they don't know what using sleeping aids do to little kids brains. If he is going to stay awake then he stays in his bed and has to read or color in his bed. 🤞🤞 Good to know there might be a 5 yr regression. 😉
Yea I’m not using that’. He sleeps all night I just can’t get to to go to sleep
Ride it out & it’ll pass. Stay consistent. Drink wine. 🤣 My ds just finished a 3 week sleep strike and is now back to his normal routine. Nothing changed before and we stayed consistent throughout. Eventually he got back to normal.
@dope.ass.mom, you can break the gummy in half. My mom told me to do that for my 2yo if she’s being really crazy and being wild for hours.
@dope.ass.mom, try reading about different brands and reading peoples reviews.
@dope.ass.mom, It’s a synthetic hormone that can interfere with natural hormone production. I wouldn’t use it without a doctor’s recommendation.
Melatonin works great. There’s one in the zarbee? Brand. Not sure if that’s the spelling of it
@dope.ass.mom, I use the regular melatonin and they work for my kids. Did you try different brands?
@sabi.bishh, no I’ve only used the Vick’s brand
Whiskey works wonders. If not for him then for you. Just pass out 😂
What to do?!!
DH is sleeping on the couch. Do I wake him or do I enjoy this giant bed all to myself?!? Mwahahaha ??
Sleep help?
I can't f*cking do this for much longer. I laid in bed this morning as he cried because I literally had no energy to get up. DH went and got him for me and I fed him in bed. It's getting ridiculous now ?
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...
What are good things to help you lactate?! I am not getting anything anymore and it’s making me frustrated
Why can't other mom's just be there for other mom's and work together and help each other not bash other mom's because when other mom's bash other mom's it makes us feel like we aren't doing a good job at least that's how I feel when I get bashed.
Thanks everyone he’s tired but he’s saying he’s scared. He sleeps all night once he’s asleep. I don’t wanna use melatonin on him. It’s just falling asleep that he has a problem
