DD is 28 weeks. Back story, very hungry baby and poor sleeper for the first 6 weeks, alternating between longer sleep periods and being up all night/fretful. Refused all routine. When she got to 11 weeks I was tearing my hair out and decided enough was enough, and introduced 3 hour EASY, which took about 5 weeks to come to fruition but worked wonders. Then had frequent night wakenings for 2 weeks, and ever since was a dream baby (regular naps and a full nights sleep). Weaning is going well and she is now on 4 hourly feeds (at her demand not mine). That was going well for two weeks and now she is all over the place. She doesn't want to settle but is not hungry, just wants to play and doesn't want to be left alone. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to go into her room tonight since 2am. I could cry. I hate posting on here to moan and know I've had it good recently but it wasnt always like that and I struggled terribly when she was a newborn, for lots of reasons, and the feelings of panic and anxiety at the thought of weeks of this are just too difficult to comprehend
Any advice welcome please - and no, she isn't hungry, believe me - I've been attacked on threads before for this.
