Jealous

We come up to bed between 8/9, and baby will go in his crib between 11 and 12.
He cwtches, feeds, chats, cries, needs rocking, whatever beforehand.
Youre not doing anything wrong, promise x

You're not doing anything wrong at all, all babies are completely different and I'm sure there are things that you're doing with your baby that others wish they could do with theirs. Please don't be hard on yourself, you're doing an amazing job ❤️

I am one of those lucky ones but you are definitely not doing anything wrong. Babies are stubborn in different ways! There can be all sorts of reasons why baby won't go to sleep straight away. Leap phases, growth spurts.....we have just got through the 4 month sleep regression.

I don't know if you have a routine but the last feed entails nappy change, put her in her long sleeve vest and sleep sack, feed and then about half hour let her fall asleep and take her up to her crib. She seems to know what is happening by having a routine last thing.

This is a similar routine for us, only difference is I put our LG in her bed awake because that works better for her, but again they're all different 😀

Sounds like they're not ready for bed at the time you want them to be if it's taking three hours! Could you adjust the last nap to allow enough time to get tired again?

We cosleep and contact nap so I likely don't really know what I'm talking about with babies though. My eldest is a toddler and bedtime still takes an hour! Not sure I'd take advice from me 😆

@Kathryn it would be a whole world of pain if we put her in her crib awake! She definitely has FOMO 🤣

You are not alone, every day it takes 2-3 hrs to put my Lo to sleep, nappie change, she smiles and cries etc after bottle feed she goes to sleep, i dont know how long this gonna take but you are doing great job!

We're in the same boat. You're not doing anything wrong though, some babies just need more support getting to sleep!
