20 month old refusing to go to bed

For what feels like a month now, our 20 month old daughter every night screams and cries and fights going to bed, she's naturally cut out her nap in the day time which originally we thought would mean she would sleep better at night, she starts getting tired around 7/8pm but trying to settle her to go to bed is a nightmare, she will start to drift off and then she will scream and cry and get in a right state and it takes me ages to get her to sleep. It's getting to a point now where I end up crying cause I'm tired and it's too much and my partner has to be up early for work so we all end up quite stressed out.
I'm at my wits end, why is she fighting to go to sleep when she's clearly tired? Is this a sleep regression? Why does it feel like it's never ending!
Any advice or tips 😩

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Would this upset you…

Our baby never sleeps, so our current arrangement is I will feed her to sleep around 8-9pm and then when she wakes initially my husband will hold her in his arms until around 11pm-12am, then he puts her down and goes next door to the spare room to sleep for the night and I do the rest of the night alone (but obviously have been able to get a couple of hours head start on sleep while he’s been holding her)…

Today he has gone to watch the football with his friends and had several drinks and got home around 8pm… I fed her to sleep as normal and put her down and I heard him getting up to leave, when I asked where he was going he said next door, and when I was confused he said “I don’t trust myself to stay awake with her” implying he had drank too much and was using it as his excuse to get out of helping…

So not only have I solo parented all day, I now have to all night with no help at all, and then we are straight into the working week where it’s all on me…

I just feel SO ANGRY about it - if it was a one off thing or a special occasion it would be fine - but football feels like it’s on every other week and it’s not acceptable to me to drink enough where you are unable to support your struggling partner for the first couple of hours of the night?!

Do I have a right to be annoyed?????

Intrusive thoughts

Does anyone else constantly have thoughts in the back of their mind that put the fear of God in to them? I'm a first time Mum & my baby boy has just turned 2 weeks old & I cannot shake the feeling of something bad is going to happen to him! I keep feeling like we have been far too lucky to end up with such a perfect boy & that our luck is about to run out! I am so in love with him but this is really putting a dark cloud over our newborn bubble 😔 I just want to keep him safe!

Post a picture of your shared kid room

I am expecting a baby at the end of the year, and I have a 15 month old. He currently lives in my bedroom with me and my husband. We are thinking of doing a shared room with him and the baby. I'd like some inspiration to see how other people organize a shared room with two small ones.

Co sleeping to next to me

Any tips on how to get baby to sleep in next to me. Baby will sleep next to me co sleeping in the bed. But wakes up when transferred to next to me!

Help

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.
