Quote from lisa87 on November 16, 2019, 11:51 pm@Stephanie49 Oh no, the couch jumping! That sounds exhausting. My little one used to do that. Have you tried a white noise machine? We got one and it made a world of difference.

Quote from Groveinsurance on November 17, 2019, 3:30 amUgh, deep down tired is the worst. I'm sorry you're going through this. My daughter was like that last week. I ended up just letting her watch a bit of Paw Patrol on repeat, and she finally crashed. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Quote from jennifer747 on November 20, 2019, 3:32 amHang in there, @Stephanie49. It’s rough when they’re in that zoomie phase at bedtime. My son finally started sleeping better when I started a super strict no-screens-an-hour-before-bed rule. Good luck!

Quote from Needlemovement on November 26, 2019, 6:38 am@Stephanie49 Paw Patrol on repeat, haha. I feel you. Sometimes you just have to pick your battles. My youngest went through a phase where he'd only fall asleep with the ceiling fan on high.

Quote from GoldForest on November 28, 2019, 1:01 am@Stephanie49 A boring book, that's so funny! I've definitely used that tactic. My daughter once fell asleep reading a cookbook. We don't even cook that much.
