Where does she sleep? In her cot in her room.
Tell me about your daytime routine – ie what times does she have feeds/solids/sleeps/bedtime?
She wakes usually about 7-8am. I get her up. She plays for an hour 9am. I feed her breastmilk then back to bed for 40 mins - 1 hour. Then up again play till 11.30 then veges and meat for lunch. 1pm feed, then bed for 1 hour or sleeps in pram if we go for a walk. More play then feed milk 4ish, then solids 4.30-5pm. Shower at 6pm then feed and bed by 7pm.
How do you settle her at sleep time and bedtime?
Feed her then put her to bed with her dummy.
What times does she wake in the night? Always about the same times?
Seems to wake every 3 hours. 10pm, 1am, 4am, 7am. I'm sure she can't be hungry but it settles her and she falls to sleep straight away sometimes in my arms
What happens when she wakes? Ie does he grizzle/cry/scream? Always fed when she wakes?
Have been feeding her because she was sick with the flu. But maybe in a habbit now? She crys when she wakes once or twice she screams.
Is she swaddled or in a sleeping bag? Is she still firmly wrapped when she wakes?
She sleeps in a sleep wrap but someties its a flight to get her blankets over her without her kicking them off
Does she move about in her cot? Kick off blankets? Bang her head on the end of the cot?
Kicks off blankets have wrapped them right under the cot but sometimes (not always) she gets them off. Put them back around her when she's asleep
Does she have any sleep cues, such as being fed to sleep, rocked, needs you there, music or mobile?
Fed to sleep, leave radio on (done this since she was born) but now trying a sleep CD
Does she use a dummy? Just to fall asleep or while she is asleep? How many times do you put it back in during the night?
She has a dummy to fall asleep mainly. Everytime she wakes up I have to put it back in her mouth. This use to put her back to sleep, but now she can cry with it in her mouth!
Does she have a blankie or special toy that she always has at sleep times?
No.
How do you feel about leaving her to cry? Have you tried it, for how long and what happened?
Have tried letting her cry. Have left her for over a hour but ended up feeding her!! And then I was in tears!!
