I know it seems a silly question but no matter what I do my baby is always over tired by bed time.
She is now 9 weeks old, i also have a so who is 4yrs
I find it hard to get her down for naps, the school run gets in the way, I don't have loads of time to sit and ssh her because getting son ready/demands of a small child (play, food, toilet etc).
She had really good tired signs and I spot them right away būt that doesn't seems to help.
I have been putting her in the sling for naps or go for a walk but she will only sleep for about 30/40 m which I know is a classic sign of being over tired.
Bed time is awful, we have a little routine and we have using ssh pat since 5 weeks which was working but the last few days have been awful. Real red sweaty faced screaming. She will sleep 30/40m, wake up scream for just as long then sleep another 30/40m before waking up again. At this point I feed her and she falls asleep, it's normally my bed time by them so she stays in the bed with me.
I by know means want her to 'cry it out' but it seems this is what she is doing just with me watching (heart breaking).
What should I do? Just watch for tired signs and put her down? And hope over a few days she just learns what's happening.
