Can't/won't self settle for naps
I'm struggling so much - my daughter is 1 in less than 2 weeks & she will not self soothe to sleep. I absolutely dread nap times because I either have to drive her in the car or walk her in the pram. She never sleeps in the cot, will just scream the house down. I manged to get 2 cot naps but I had to rock her to sleep ðŸ˜
I just want to be able to put her down for a nap so I can have a little bit of time to myself.
I'm currently doing day and night on my own as my partner is a farmer so his out from crack of dawn till 1am most days 😠Bedtime is just as bad tbh - feed & cuddle to sleep which can take up to an hour 😔
Anyone else struggling with this? Or is everyone else winning at being a mam because right now I feel like a FAILURE ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

My little one doesnt self settle, never has. I rock her to sleep for every nap.
Does she transfer after rocking? I just do that 🤣
I'm no expert by any means but that seems a long time to have to rock them. Have you tried longer time awake between each nap?
My little one has always needed bigger wake windows than they say are "developmentally appropriate". You could be in the same boat!
Shes on 2 naps but her wake windows are all 4 hours long.
2 x 1 hour naps
Then sleeps 9pm-7am. Shes low sleep needs i think so only 12 hours in a 24 hour period
