Parenting after a Loss

JUST GO TO SLEEP

OMG, when will the separation anxiety end?! I seriously can't even deal. DD has been fighting a nap for an hour and a half now. I got her up for awhile because I figured, maybe she's not tired. But oh no. She's tired alright. She just can't bear not to be in the same room with me, and really probably touching my person at all times.

I've been giving in for days and just holding her or taking a nap with her in my bed, but I have GOT to do some work! But instead, I'm listening to her cry and cry and me going in there every few minutes probably isn't helping. But I just don't want to let her CIO.

She's quiet now... is she asleep? PLEASE BE ASLEEP.

Re: JUST GO TO SLEEP

  • Big hugs mama, I totally feel you.  My BMB is starting to get flooded with successful CIO stories of how great their baby sleeps now, but I can't do it either.  I think it's harder for an AL mama because they tug even harder on our heart stri

  • DS was having the same issue.  I had to rock him to sleep for every nap and then once I put him down I was lucky if he slept for 30 mins.  Yesterday we started keeping him up longer periods before putting him in the crib ( about 3-3.5 hours) and

  • Thanks, ladies. She wasn't asleep that time, unfortunately, but I went in and gave her two teething tablets and rocked her and she finally passed out. So, maybe it was teething pain? Who knows? Girl doesn't have any teeth yet or anything I can feel com

  • I can commiserate. I recently contacted a sleep specialist out of desperation. I'm waiting to hear back. In the meantime, we're trying a sticker chart today. I'm going craaaaazy.
