Baby not sleeping from me - desperate now!!!!
I am wondering if anyone of you has gone through this situation, my 6 month baby is refusing to sleep from me now. It started with bedtime when he would cry and cry when I hold him, and now it is the same for naps. For the past 3 days, my DH has been getting him to sleep at bedtime and now for the nap, the maid got him to sleep!!! This is a first for me as I do all the baby things myself, and now I can't stop thinking that my baby hates me :((((.
To be more coherent, my baby is reasonably regular with naps and bedtime with the occasional hiccup. His timing is also quite regular with a margin of half an hour on either side. He has a pretty consistent nap and bedtime routine too. For naps, it is a nappy change, then into the room where I draw the curtains, read 2 stories and then take him on my shoulder or rock him till he is drowsy or goes to sleep. Now as soon as I finish the stories and take him on shoulder, he will start crying - screaming his head off. Nothing will stop him till someone else takes him and then he stops crying and eventually goes to sleep.
I am extremely disheartened as till now he was only sleeping from me or very occassionally husband. I have never given him to the maid before as I believe in doing everything for the baby myself - I think my DS has decided for himself :(. I am also worried for the future as it is not possible for DH to leave work and come home every night to get him to sleep - he usually sleeps around 7:30 pm, and the maid leaves by that time. DH is also travelling for work end of this week.
I am lost and confused now - not to mention extremely hysterical. Otherwise, my baby is all happy and normal with no problems. Has anything like this happened to anyone?
