Not Sleeping. Urgh.

[BubbleOne]

Phoebe is going to bed at about 6pm as she always has but is waking any time between 10pm and 2am and then just will not go back to sleep.

The last 2 nights she has ended up in bed with us because we can't sit up all night rubbing her bum and I don't want to get her up.

It's starting to create a bit of tention between me and OH as he disagrees with bringing her into our bed but it's the only way I'll get any sleep.

Any ideas?

I'm shattered

my 2 hardly ever sleep so im no help at all sorry hun lol

 

Not really, Damien is doing the same. I just give him juice and he is slowly bringing the time he wakes up further and further away and nearer too when he should wake up. He comes into bed with me till he is settled then I put him back in his cot, and if that doesn't work I just ignore him and got back to sleep. He's still next to my bed though as you knwo so I don't have to get up.
Does patting her bum instead of rubbing ti work? To calm Damien I pat his bum, quite hard (not that hard though) sometimes, works a treat, aswell as singing your bleedin' banana song!

I thought about offering her water or juice.

If I am still awake I do take her back to her cot once she is asleep.
Although last night she never really settled. Even in bed with us she just dosed on and off from 2am - 7am

Phoebe has never liked having her bum patted. Needs to be rubbed!!!

And My Banana song would just wake her up!!!

I'm tired

 

LOL I'll come over this week and we can be tired together.
Try the juice/water thing and see if it helps.
