@Robyn he does fall asleep in the car but we don’t go anywhere that’s a longer distance for him to have a good couple of hours. If he’s at home he’ll have 2 hours. Push chair… he’s too nosey but then my anxiety also doesn’t want to risk him not sleeping and being over tired. I just feel like I’m failing as a mum because of my own anxiety and stress. Why can’t I just go with the flow? 😭
I’m sorry you are feeling overwhelmed. All us moms know that feeling all too well. I try to set reasonable goals for myself. What can I reasonably achieve today? I am doing that right now. Yes, I prioritize my son’s sleep but I also have things to do. I follow that 80:20 rule where 80 % of the time they are sleeping under ideal conditions but between baby classes and the occasional travel, sleep will have to be on the go or not “on time”. I’ve learned to plan ahead and give myself space and grace for the times I know sleep will be hard. Good luck mama. We all know you’re doing the best you can
I'm sorry you feel like this. Just to ask, does baby not sleep at all when out? Mine sleeps better when I take her out both out and then at night. I 100% agree with good sleep is good for them, makes them happier so I would also feel overwhelmed. Does baby not fall asleep in the car? Sometimes if mine doesn't sleep I have to go out for a drive with her to get her to sleep!
