Steph Claire Smith struggled to put her two-year-old son Harvey to sleep Wednesday night, and was forced to strip out of her clothes so she didn’t wake him.
The fitness influencer, 28, who shares her only child with husband Josh Miller, found herself sitting in her kitchen in only her underwear after the debacle.
Feeling ‘tired’ and ‘anxious’, the Keep It Cleaner co-founder shared a selfie of herself to her Instagram Stories looking incredibly worn out as she revealed Harvey’s latest sleeping woes.
‘Currently sitting on the floor waiting for my dinner in the microwave in my undies because I had to strip down to not make too much noise sneaking out of Harvey’s room tonight,’ she wrote in her lengthy message.
‘He hasn’t been sleeping well, so every day is like a snowball effect – we can’t seem to catch him up.’

She continued: ‘He had a nap today because he only slept 8pm-4:45am last night, but tonight he was refusing bedtime hard.’
Steph went on to say she has become ‘so bloody tired’ she needed to leave Harvey’s room a few times to ‘scream’ out her frustration.
‘Eventually, I sung him all the way to sleep, and after two hours, and a few failed attempts of sneaking off, I eventually got out,’ she added.

The mum-of-one said she didn’t think Harvey would sleep through the night, and planned to go straight to bed after eating her dinner.
She wrote: ‘He makes me happier than anything, but then more stressed and anxious and tired than anything too. The parallels in parenting are truly crazy.’
Steph has been very vocal about the difficulties she has faced raising Harvey, as she most recently revealed he turned her family holiday into a nightmare.

She shared an emotional video to Instagram in January while holidaying in Victoria, and asked other parents whether their toddlers were also going through a difficult time.
‘Is your toddler currently in a phase where they like one parent more than the other? Or they’re being nice to one parent and then mean to another? Because at the moment Josh is absolutely copping it,’ Steph said, her voice trembling with emotion.
‘Harvey doesn’t want a bar of him and it’s quite horrible to watch, and it’s been exhausting this holiday,’ she lamented.
In another video, Steph admitted she was ‘heartbroken’ by Harvey’s behaviour because she was ‘so excited to have beautiful family time’ on her holiday.
