Baby Picky not sleeping :0(

[Picky]

Hi all

Baby Picky is 2 1/2 and I'm due with baby Picky 2, 4 weeks today (eekkk!), and my little man has just decided to stop sleeping, or going to bed easily and I'm so exhausted. There's been a lot of upset in our home over the past few months, I lost my Dad at the end of April and I've been spending a lot of time away at my Mum's, we've moved him into a bed (which he loved for the 1st 3 weeks) but he's now taking an hour to settle at night and he's up and down 3 or 4 times during the night. What should I do??! Please help!!!

Thanks in advance
A very tired Px

tried that. she'll drink it an want more.
I think its the light and am waiting for Mr CRX to put the blackout blinds up, that is what did trick with our son.

That should help - I know that my son has a theory that it is not sleep time if it is light outside - a problem in South Africa when the sun rises at 4:45am in Summer and by 6:30am in Winter....great fun!

I just think you mums with little ones do such an incredible job even when you are knackered.
Keep up the good work ladies. My two are all grown up now but I remember the early years all too well. xxxx

Shanilisa, in our house you are known as the sleep guru!! He has slept 12 hours every night since we moved his bed - he's in such a lovely mood when he wakes up, I'm feeling better, Mr Picky is in a much happier - it's made all the difference in our house and I'm very grateful for your and everyones advice! When baby P is here (3 weeks or so!) do you fancy coming to live at ours and helping get new baby P sleep too??!!

Thanks again

Hey Picky

Yeah, that sounds like a plan - been wanting to leave South Africa, so keep a room for me.

I am so glad that it worked - it makes all the difference to you when you get a good night's sleep, not to mention to the mood of your child.

Take care and hope it keeps working.
