Frustrated/Angry

My daughter just turned 2 months on the 24th and fights sleep.. I'll literally do everything..change> feed >burp and she'll fall asleep and then 30 minutes later she screaming bloody murder.. she's been doing this the past few nights and yes I love my daughter, but I'm being angry because I need to freaking sleep too and would love to do so with my husband cuz he's going back to work this week l ..I'm just beyond frustrated and angry that I have to be up till 2 am just because she fights sleep. Its not fair. Id like to sleep with my husband with her freaking screaming bloody murder every 30 minutes. Please tell me I'm not alone

You're not alone. In the past week or week and a half I've had 2 good nights of sleep but most we had exactly what you described and she didn't go to bed until almost midnight

Will your husband help / take turns? I know he goes to work but just because you are home during the day, doesn’t mean you are not working as well. My husband admits that being home with the baby is much harder emotionally than going to his 9-5. We start our bedtime routine with turning down the lights in the house, a nice warm bath every night, and then a bottle with the white noise in the background. Our son has started sleeping very well with this routine. Of course every baby is different. My husband and I take turns on who is on first and second shift so we switch when the baby wakes up whether that is 2am or 5am, it’s just the luck of the draw but the only way it seems “fair” and we don’t resent the other for getting more or less sleep.

Hi mamas! You are NOT alone! It sounds like she is entering a leap. Which is a growth spurt physically and mentally. Which is no doubt exhausting. With that being said I would see if you can exchange nights with your spouse. That way you can catch some much needed zzzs It does get better Just hold tight!
