Summary
- Former Olympian Emily Seebohm is struggling with her son's sleep.
- Her son, Sampson, rarely sleeps before 9 PM and skips naps.
- Followers suggested co-parenting might impact Sampson's routine.
Former Olympian Emily Seebohm has expressed significant distress over her two-and-a-half-year-old son Sampson's disrupted sleep schedule. In a social media plea, Seebohm revealed she is on the verge of a 'breakdown' due to the ongoing sleep challenges.
Sampson, who was previously a good sleeper, has recently begun refusing naps and consistently goes to bed after 9 PM. Seebohm shared that her son requires her presence to fall asleep, indicating a new dependency.
Supporters have offered various solutions, including adjusting nap times and bedtime. Some followers pointed to Seebohm's co-parenting situation with ex-partner Ryan Gallagher, suggesting the back-and-forth between homes could be affecting Sampson's stability and sleep patterns.
This situation comes after Seebohm defended her decision to have her son sit on her new boyfriend Brandon Caust's lap in a Christmas photo, responding to critics who found it disrespectful to her ex-partner.
