Ok, so this should prolly be posted on some parenting forum, but being depressed makes it more complicated because I'm ready to jump off a cliff with frustration.
My almost 2 year old wont sleep! Not only keeping me awake, but keeping the little boy next door awake too. His mother actually confronted me about it late last night, I was walking around the complex trying to get my daughter tired enough to put her to bed, the neighbor was walking her dogs. I was so embarrassed when she told me my baby was keeping her son awake and his grades are slipping in school because of it. She even asked if she needs to call child protective services! I don't sleep much anyway, so my lack of sleep is nothing new, but baby bedtime is my me time and I'm not getting that anymore.
She wont take naps anymore, and she wont go to bed before 12:30 at the earliest! She's still getting up around 8 every morning and I don't understand why she wont sleep.
If I put her in her crib she will literally scream like shes being beat for hours at a time. I've never heard of anything like this and it's driving me mad! I give her a warm bath, read her a story and sing to her, but as soon as I put her to bed she goes off. I tried putting her in a twin bed instead of the crib, same result. Tried putting her in bed with me, same result.
I feel as if I'm going to pull my hair out and run screaming through my apartment complex for someone to take her away from me. I'm not getting that few precious hours to myself, and I NEED that time alone.
Someone please tell me what to do. What can I do to get her to sleep???
