So, I have decided to try PUPD with DD who is 5 months.
I don't think in can do anything gentler as she cries as soon as I put her down, before she even touches the crib or bed (only boob or picking her up stop her crying). Patting, sssshhhhing, soft words, music etc just seem to pass her right off but I can't leave her to CIO.
Currently napping (very badly) in pram, then sleeps at night with me (falling asleep on the boob). Can't move her once she is asleep, so I roll away stealth style. This isn't working now as she gets progressively more tired as the evening goes on, resisting sleep. I cannot get her to sleep on boob and leave her in an adult bed nor do I want go to bed myself at 7pm.
I know PU/pd is going to be a real battle with DD but I now see it as the only option.
Who else has tried it? Did you start with naps then tackle the night time battle? How long did baby protest for? How many days before they got the hang of it? How did you stay strong and not give in to 'your old ways' of comforting?
Thanks all
