How

At night, when I want to sleep, I am very unhappy with my child when she refuses to go back to sleep after feeding. I say bad things to myself and I try to roll her body into her favored sleeping position.
She wakes up when I set her body on her bed. When I pick her up, her body goes limp against mine and her head nestles into my shoulder.
I set her down, she wakes up. Sometimes I feed her again. I think it is a security feeding. I just beg for sleep. Sometimes I feel that if I am so exhausted I cry, she will sleep out of sympathy. Sometimes that happens.
