I’ll be praying for you! It’s tough but you got this!!!

Awww I’m sorry momma, I promise you it gets better. I would feel the same with my LO and it would take him FOREVER to go down. Now he has his bedtime routine down and it’s no fight at all, and I got my nights back. It will happen, just keep at it. Find a routine and stick with it and she will get it. This too will pass 😘

Ohhh it happens to all of us sometimes sending hugs xxx

Omg girl ur not the only one feeling down because of your child. I literally cried today because my 5 yr old boy wasn’t being obedient & low key gets in between my relationship , we rarely have intimacy because he sleeps in our bed sadly . & I just pray Over the matter. Regardless of the negative situation there’s other people in the world struggling with their children’s Health issues & that just puts me at ease . God bless you hunny he sent you an angel to shape you !

thank you ladies 🥺💞

This happens to me so often I completely understand! The best advice my friend gave me, is to put the baby in their cot and just leave the room for five minutes to calm yourself down. It will not hurt them to cry for a couple of minutes so that you can compose yourself xx

Look up takingcarababies on IG. She has wonderful sleep tips. She has an online class as well

I feel you love ! Your doing a great job !

I feel like we have all been there! Wash your face and know it’s gonna be ok

Sending you virtual hugs mommy. ❤️ we’ve all been there and understand how overwhelming it can be!

Set a good sleeping schedule for her, it was hard at first with my 2 year old but it definitely helps a lot! You’ll enjoy putting her to sleep and then you have time for you and your partner💕

Hey mama! You’re doing a great job with your baby. We all go through this, and it’s ok for you to feel frustration.
My son was like that, especially since he was breastfed for a long time. A few weeks ago I created my own sleep training process that works for all of us. Now when we put him to bed, he cries 2 minutes or less, then falls asleep. Most importantly, he doesn’t climb out of his crib anymore.
My spouse and I get to spend our evenings together.
Just start thinking about creating your own bedtime routine or sleep training process, and I promise you within a few weeks things will be better.
You got this girl!!

I have been there, however now he goes down no problem. One thing I found helped was a routine, I also have my 14 month old in a light weight sleep blanket suit and that also helps as a sleep trigger. Another thing I do is after we read, i spend like five minutes cuddling and talking about the day, then I tell him when I’m going to put him down in the crib and put him in there with the over head light on, and I spend a few minutes cleaning the room and then I get the night light jukebox projector thing running, turn out the overhead light, say good night and walk out. Couple of things- we share a room still, but we don’t go in the bedroom till much later, and there is a pacifier involved in all this. Lol. I hope this helps. Message me if you have any questions.

You are a brave and strong woman and we are all here for you!

Omg this was me the other day I thought I was the only one my baby who’s 10months threw one of her biggest tantrums going to the potty and I felt like a shitty parent and started to over think and feel guilty for working 6days out the week 😭

you ladies are all so kind 🥺 it does get tough but we all get through it, thank you all for your kind words and advice!❤️
