Today was one of those days...
You know the ones that seemed endless.
Tired, sore back, cold feet - that never warmed up. Then add a very clingy, active baby that didn't sleep much all day.
😭😭😭😭
Ohh I forgot..
Then Hubby didnt get home til after 7pm.
TBH, I was pretty much done at 5pm.
Lately Hubby hasn't been able to put her to sleep at night because she would cry out and call me.
I would then sing her some songs while rocking her and she would eventually doze off. If I'm lucky she would stay asleep when I crawled in bed, usually I'm not and she should wake up and I'd have to do the whole routine again.
Tonight was not a lucky night.
If ever there was a time for me to finally let her cry it out it was most definitely tonight.
I think it's time ~ way past time actually ~ that we sort her bed routine out so she sleeps in her cot without having to be rocked, bounced or carried every night.
I'm exhausted you guys and my back is sore constantly. These cold nights arent helping either but I reckon it'll be worse during Summer.
After about 30 minutes of crying, wailing, sobbing ~ I caved. I picked her up from the cot, gave her boob (ohh boob, you're the best thing ever.) and she calmed down and fell asleep still sobbing.
😭😭😭😭
She's so tired she didnt even stir when I sneezed.
It's really hard letting her cry it out because it's such a stark contrast to her usually happy self. The way she carries on as well, it's like she's been wrongfully victimized and will have heart attack.
You guys got any tips for me?
Not quite sure what to do here.
