Help! Getting bad SA issues!

[beckygatt]

Oh God!! More hideous nights  I am utterly utterly fed up! All the responsibility of her sleep falls onto me, partly cos I'm the patient one and dh gets nervous so I just deal with her myself 

[Truly Blessed]

Aaaah Honey, I'm so sorry to hear that, it is so hard and tiring. I also do the lion share of the child stuff for the same reason and also that DH ends up just chatting to Sam and making things worse, no common sense to be honest, most the time 

What do you think is going on, is it the cold and teeth causing these NW's or do you think it's a combination of that and OT 

(HUGS) for you Sweetie.x.

hugs becky....what is your gut feeling? Do you think she is OT? I think she is mainly on 1 nap now - is that right?

[beckygatt]

Yes she is mostly on one nap now. I think the cold is definitely playing a big part but also combined with bad habits? It just seems to be one thing after the other; always an excuse    Poor thing, I hate to see her unwell but I also just want an end to all this!

DH took over for a few hours last night so i got a bit of sleep but then he became impatient so I took over again. I think if it was up to him he'd do CIO or CC

Thank goodness it isn't then Sweetie. It's hard, some people just don't have the patience or the understanding it takes and Lord knows that we all feel exasperated at times. It would be really helpful to talk to DH and try and get on the same page though, I have had to do that, and continuously back up my theory as DH is soft and would give in every time, but also doesn't have the patience in the long run.

I guess you just ride it out until she is feeling well again Hun. Illness always seems to come at the worst time  not that there is every a good time

We're on the same page most of the time, but then he'll lose patience and say "just leave her in their crying". I never let him though. But that is why sleep training falls onto me mostly. Thanks for support. Have stayed home from work with her today so will try to take it easy.

Both of you take it as easy as you can  Have some special cuddles and lots of the best parts of Motherhood
