I honestly have no idea what is going on with my LO's sleep.
For probably 2-3 months she has gone to sleep within 10 minutes of 6pm every night. Before that it was a month or two of 5:30. It started out when she was an infant with 11pm or really whenever she went to sleep. Then she kept moving it up. I got her to go from 5:30 to 6 by throwing in a 4pm bottle (small.) She then takes a large bottle right before bed. Yes, we feed to sleep... FML apparently.
I won't go into our schedules/situation because there's too much to type. I will say she gets really fussy around 5pm-ish (honestly she's no fun to me after 4pm... very finicky about her happiness at that point.) Moms with earlier to bed babies her age... how did you know when to move back bedtime? How did you do it? It's 8pm and she's currently still awake and I just tried ANOTHER small (very tiny) bottle and put her down and she's screaming. I cannot understand why she's still awake. I couldn't have kept her awake because she was so fussy before bed and went down for about 30 minutes before waking up and wanting to hang out.
I am stressed beyond my limit and just do not know what to do. Am I missing something?
