Screaming

Anyone else’s baby doing this! So he’s fine all morning then he gets tired and starts rubbing his eyes etc so I try and get him to sleep and he starts SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. Now we have an issue he’s tired so he’s grumpy or I try and put him down he screams and throws himself about. We then spend the day with him screaming and I’m in tears and getting frustrated. I’m exhausted! I’m a single mum and I don’t know how much more screaming I can listen to.

Yep I'm absolutely drained

Maybe try following wake windows rather than waiting for sleep cues… maybe his eye running is already a late cue.

@Nicola I follow wake windows already. Eye rubbing is an early cue for him x

@Caitlin 😩😩

We had a phase of this and super resistance so I tried to time the nap with a walk in pram where I could because he always nods off but doesn't feel like he's being 'forced' to go to sleep I think

Do you drive? When my little girl got like this, I used to just start driving and she would often fall asleep pretty quickly x

My little girl has been kicking off with naps in the cot so I just put her in the pram and she makes no fuss. Think she is just associating her cot with bedtime! She goes down well at night so pram in the day and cot at night works fine for us, anything for a less stressful day 😅
