Than not being able to comfort an soothe your own child
My daughter is so high needs when it comes to tiredness and needing naps during the day.
At home, it's manageable, I can swaddle her and sit by her cot replacing her dummy 1000000 times whilst she screams and eventually goes to sleep (whilst leaving my toddler downstairs to his own devices!)
When were at other people's houses it's a different story. Won't settle at all and just screams!
Won't settle in the pram, or if she finally does, wakes up every 10mins.
Won't settle being cuddled!? and if she does finally, wakes up after 10mins and restarts the screaming fit.
I thought every kid liked being cuddled to sleep!?
I am SO over the screaming!
It's not pain, it's not reflux, it's literally the inability to settle during the day leading to crazy over-tiredness.
It's making me not want to go anywhere. I'm meant to be going to my mums for Xmas day and my Uncles Boxing Day afternoon but I'm starting to think it'll be easier just to stay at home.
Just needed to vent! Feel like a prisoner really not enjoying this newborn stage this time round.
