Amber was the same so we did the tough love. First night it took her half an hour to settle herself and go to sleep, the next night it took 10 minutes and the following night 5 minutes. We did this a month ago now and since we did it she's slept through as well. Now she has her bottle has a cuddle, we then take her into her room awake and kay her down and she'll stand up while we walk out the door and then she'll lay down and go to sleep xx
Waking up in the night doesn't bother me too much il get to that stage when I can it's getting her to go to sleep on her own in her cot with out me having to hold her xxx
We used to use a gro bag but haven for a while she hates covers. We have a butterfly that glows and plays music. She never used to if give her milk and try snd take her up before she fell asleep And she would roll over and go to sleep x
Don't have room for a chair. If I we're sat on my bed or sofa or even stood holding her she would just fall asleep! But if I'm not holding her she won't even lay or sit in the cot without crying. We have a projector with music that we play every night doesn't matter tho. X
Maybe get a rocking chair or something and gradually get her used to self soothing. Start rocking her to sleep then maybe chance her down awake with you by her and patting then just beside her etc ? It would be long term but won't cause distress. You could also use white noise or lights or something so there is always a constant. X
Yeh could do means laying her in the cot tho and standing over her and feeding her while she lays there as no room to sit but I do that in the night so will try tonight if she will drink it she's right off her milk ATM xx
She's 9.5 months, when I let her cry it's for like a minute or two go back in lay her down and as soon as I turn around she's standing crying again! So leaving her to cry doesn't work one cos i can't listen to her crying and two cos she won't stop and she will be sick x
Me! My lg is nearly 10mos, although she's always been a terrible sleeper she's only getting worse :( ur not alone lol x
