My LO of 6 months gets tired every 3 hrs (11am, 2pm, and 5pm), and he naps for only 20-45min each time. If I'm lucky I get 45 min, but it's usually less. It doesn't take me that long (40+ min) to put him to sleep, and I'm just glad he sleeps through the night (12-13hrs total) with only 1 night feed now. Good luck. I wish I had more advice instead of experience alone
Same. But I'm dealing with 2 teeth breaking through, and the 3Cs phase (wonder years). 😣😭
Might sound crazy, but have you tried putting her in her sleep space awake? I've found that my son fights me more when he wants to go to sleep independently. So far this has only happened for nighttime sleep.
@Erica I feel you. My girl will only sleep with my husband if he walks with her for 15-20 mins and then she will contact nap with him but that’s only weekends when he isn’t working and I can’t be in the room /nearby or she cries for me. It’s not perfect but it gives me a break because there are days I’m going out of my mind. Rest of the week I depend on him for help around the house (cooking, cleaning, laundry etc) because I get almost nothing done during the day. Hang in there. It’s draining and some days you feel so desperate for a break but a lot of us are going through the same thing, so just remember you’re not alone and it won’t last forever (that’s what I remind myself).
This is us if i miss the cues. When someone else is holding her and doesnt catch the quick eyerub or minor fuss, we end up rocking for a long time. If i get her cuddling me and snuggling after her cues its more like 10 mins to put her down. I would research and figure out your los cues to help you time it
