Hello there,
My 16 week old DD already sleeps through the night for 12 hours, but due to feeding issues, only takes four feeds during the day of 6ozs (and even then doesn't finish them all). So we'd like her to start having some daytime naps and maybe reduce her night-time sleep to just 10 hours.
I go back to work in 2 weeks so need to be waking her at 6am anyway to get her to the CM on time.
I've tried putting her down in the day as she generally falls asleep on me after her feed, but the minute I put her in her cot, she wakes up and won't go back to sleep. At night I can put her in her cot wide awake and she just goes to sleep when she's ready, without making a sound.
I've tried using the blackout blind and leaving the blind up, but neither way has been successful.
Can I please have some desperately needed advice?
I am out for the day today, but will be back mid-afternoon and will respond to people's kind advice then.
Thank you in advance for your help!!
