Beginning to think she'll never sleep

[Crayola kiddies]

I had one that started with me when she was 14 months .....mom assured me she was simple to put down .... Ya right ..... I tried every room ..... She screamed .... Mom told me she would not give in to tiredness either ..... I had to keep calling dad to pick her up she was just beside herself .... She would pull her pony tail when she was tired and she was damn near ripping it off her head she was so tired .... So mom gave it some thought and the next week she said sent a music machine, and moms pillowcase and she said put her in the darkest room and shut off the light and shut the door and see what happens ..... Bingo !!!!! She slept for 3.5 that day and every day after. Maybe she needs to smell mom!

I will make that suggestion to mom tonight. Thanks for the idea. Im so frustrated right now. I went in, which i never do and she's lying down making noise but clearly tired and I gave her a soother. She doesnt have one, but I have them on hand for my dcg who does use them just in case we lose one. She took it right away. Mom nurses her still a bit and I've said from the begininng that i felt that was an issue. Mom tried to stop but she was so exhausted sometimes that she gave in. I dont know much about nursing because i never did but if mom isonly nursing a small amount and not even everyday she must not be providing nuourishment, just comfort right? Not sure how to bring it up to mom if the soother works, but she's still quiet. the other little guy with her isnow awake so not sur how long she'sll stay quiet. thank god its friday
