Hey no but they are good I think I have this built into my pram I just put her in it and turn it on an app but basically the same thing it does workI'm sure @Easilyannoyed did I could be misremembering though!
Whatās with these babies, mine also hates nappy changes now! As soon as I lay her down she starts crying. Sheās also started doing some wild hip thrust moves mid change to try and get away from me, which is delightful when sheās got a pooey bum that Iām trying to clean upYep weāre teething too and we give her pain relief, but shes fighting bed time so hard. Canāt hold her, canāt rock her, canāt put her down, canāt stand up.
Itās like she doesnāt know what she wants, I donāt know what she wants so she just screams!
Sheās also started to lose her tit on the changing mat.
what ever this phase is, it can pass quickly as itās grinding us down.
she used to be so chilled
Yeah so after you posted about it recently I did give it a go, and it worked the first couple of nights but now she seems to just work herself up more and more each time I leave the room again. I did say to Mr G tonight that weāre going to have to stick to something a bit more rigidly though because whatās happening now just isnāt working and weāre all stressed out by it! xI know itās not for everyone so ignore me if it isnt but have you tried leaving her for 2/3 mins? Before going back in. X
The hand holding gets me every time, makes you feel guilty doesnāt it! Baby G will just stand there reaching out to me and tonight started to try and put her legs through the gaps to get closer. Youād think we were putting them somewhere awful rather than a lovely warm cosy bed š„²absolute same here. soul destroying isnāt it . I tried to put him in the cot awake. He did a 360 twice, rolled back to front, front to back, leg slamming, playing with the bars and even reaching out to hold my hand . I know how you feel.
I hope it improves soon for you
I think weāre going to have to give this a go again! Itās hard hearing them cry, but when sheās tired and rubbing her eyes ready for bed at 7 and then is still awake at gone 9 because of cot dramas, somethings got to change!She sounds like mini Waka, will do anything to avoid sleep. I had to go back to the Ferber method last week so we went into the bedroom every 5 mins to reassure her we were there, hug over the cot, kiss on head lay down and shhhhh with light pressure on her chest and repeat until she relaxes herself to sleep. Next night I went in but took longer, Took her 2 nights to get herself back to sleep by wiggling til she falls asleep.
Night waking is a different matter lol
Iāve tried the gradual retreat but not this so I might give it a go tomorrow. The problem is (I think) that when Iām in the room, she wants my attention. So I feel like Iām distracting her from going to sleep, but then if Iām not there sheās too upset to sleep.When B is hard to get down, I will sit with my back to him until he calms down. Sometimes I stay, sometimes I leave, and if he goes mad, I will go back and sit on the floor. Would this work when she is like this?
Mini Waka would NEVER admit she was sleepy! she gives us zero sleep signals, sheād happily play until 11 if we let herWhatās with these babies, mine also hates nappy changes now!

Thanks ladies, itās a tit situation but helps to know that unfortunately a lot of us are in the same boat and my baby isnāt just broken
My kids give me these headaches! paracetamol & ibuprofen is the only thing that clears it āI think my childās given me a tension head ache as bed time got closer. My head and neck are agony. Iām currently in the bath she went down with a fight but not as bad as the night before.
@WhatABore sorry you feel that way
I have no advice I think we all know Iām crap at advice but I found maternity and motherhood so isolating. I donāt make friends easy (lol well at all). I wanted to go to groups but my anxiety got the better of me. You need a supportive partner, he needs to step up a bit.
do something for you! Turn your Xbox on and have a game.
All good, mama waka, thanks for checking in Also a member of the unsettled babe crew tonight, and my in laws are staying as well so yeah, just surviving the weekend! š« š« š«Mini Waka would NEVER admit she was sleepy! she gives us zero sleep signals, sheād happily play until 11 if we let her
Good luck with it!
@Definitelyme everything okay with you? X
When Martha was younger (sheās 17 months now) she would give zero signals she was sleepy then out of nowhere she would scream, it was ear piercing, she would do the same with hunger as well. No fists to her mouth no looking for the bottle, her first indication was to scream. So yeah that was a fun phase. Now she walks over to the high chair and points and goes ugh ugh. Or points to the cupboard where the chocolate bourbons are .Mini Waka would NEVER admit she was sleepy! she gives us zero sleep signals, sheād happily play until 11 if we let her
Good luck with it!

Unsure if this is helpful or practical but weāve got a surprise back molar (thought it had already come in though ) coming through and are having the exact same issue, so if after 30-45 minutes sheās having none of it, I bring her back downstairs, let her run around a bit more (despite the fact she definitely needed to go to bed at 7!) and chill back out, otherwise we both get so worked up xxxItās so tough isnāt it. Sheās teething at the moment which doesnāt help but tonight sheās had nurofen and anbesol so thereās nothing else I can give her. Itās like sheās determined not to sleep even though I can see sheās exhausted
