I know that fear and worry leading up to a new baby, and wondering how their little world will be rocked. But so many of these things just work themselves out, and can’t really be explored properly until you have the baby here and are in the midst of it. The same way we all worried how we’d cope with a baby as FTM, and we figure it out, you will figure this out too in time and when baby is here. You can play around with things and find what works best then. I would say don’t put any pressure on yourself to change too much/anything if you don’t feel it’s the right time. Yes, you could force these things, but if you are happy to ride it out then go for it. I’ve always been very much of the idea that the really won’t sleep with us forever, and as horrendously long and exhausting as these stages seem, they will pass.Yes she does. I was going in with her at first wake up but that started getting earlier and earlier and so I just go in there now when I’m ready to go to bed.
He is but she won’t let him. She is really resisting him atm and it’s been quite hard for both of us. She’s never let him do a bedtime even when I’ve been out. She would cry and cry for hours and he’d bring her back into the living room and let her fall asleep on the sofa then bring her to bed.
I had thought that she’d either come into the bed with me again and baby in the next to me or beside me. I’m just nervous of too much change as she’s still to be potty trained, still uses a dummy and will start preschool when the baby is due.
Just to say as well all my toddlers hated my husband putting them to bed… for two nights. And then they were happy as Larry. Would she be ok if you help her to sleep but he goes in with her during the night for wake ups?
