Just wanted to offer my support too to Lily_layne and NewMum...we know, we've been there! My DS was always a horrific napper, he had a good spell at around 4 months, but from 5 - 6.5 months it was horrible, and nothing I did made one bit of difference. I would say at around 6.5 months things just started working and by 7 months he was taking (and still is taking) great naps. It's so hard!! I also don't know if it was developmental, teeth, or what!
I asked DH to go help settle her, he told me was out of patience (all he was doing was laying in bed listening to me try to settle her - sure must be difficult)!!!!! As if I wasn't thin on patience after doing the long wakes the previous 2 nights while he slept!
If it makes you feel any better, I don't think my DH has ever settled our LO. He gets way to frustrated and like your DH has little patience. It would take a lot for him to get out of bed to help me! I think he just feels like he is horrible at it (which, to be honest...he is! LOL
) so what's the point?
The mods here are great, but I just wanted to offer some support to say that we've been there, and for us, it did get better
I know that doesn't help right now, but there is hope!
And Kirsten, thanks for the tip on bath time
I ditched the baby tub and now bath time is a lot more enjoyable! (Except for the fact that I am usually soaked afterwards from B either splashing, or turning the shower on when the water is running!)
