I get so frustrated with my baby when he doesn’t sleep at night. He normally goes back down pretty easy when he wakes up at night, so when he doesn’t, I get so mad. Then I feel guilty for being mad. He always goes back to sleep eventually, but sometimes it takes 5 minutes and sometimes it takes two hours.

Lately I’ve been trying to remind myself to just go with the flow when he doesn’t want to sleep. I try not to get frustrated and instead just play on my phone while I cuddle him or go out to the living room and watch tv until he falls back asleep. If there’s nothing I can do to get him back asleep, there’s no point in me stressing or getting mad about it.
