Please please help me! I'm after advice and honesty, if you think I'm crazy please tell me!
My first baby was born 5 and a half months ago. She was a long back to back labour eventually ending in forceps. She is a really happy wee baby and mostly content although a slight temper if not fed quick enough! I'm formula feeding, she takes 4 7oz bottles a day. Normally 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 9pm. Then she sleeps reasonably well from 9.30pm till about 7am.
I have until now had her sleeping with me in living room in evening, so from 7pm till her bottle at 9. Last week she slept perfectly at 7pm on the dot. I have decided to try to put her upstairs in my room from 7.
It's not happening. She isn't even sleepy at 7 this week. She is tired but totally fighting it! She's crying and hitting out. I don't understand.
All my friends babies sleep from 7 right through. In their own beds. What am I doing wrong?!
As an add to this, my husband has been away for the past 7 weeks. So I'm pretty much fed up of being a sole parent. He was back last night. Could it possibly be that she is just excited to see him and so not sleeping?
I'm sorry this is so long. I'm sitting in tears writing this.
