I'm having problems with DD. She's 5 months old and has always been an 'alright' sleeper.
I'm having problems getting her to bed. She's in her own room now in her big cot. Her bed time routine used to go like this:
18:15 bath time
18:30 bottle & cuddles whilst being rocked to sleep in the rocking chair
19:00 in bed until she wakes up again for her night feed. The night feed would be the same apart from the bath.
But, now she's in her bigger bed its not going well, every time I lower her into the bed she's awake again and it's taking me about 2 hours each time to get her to sleep in her bed 😩
She won't sleep in it during the day either.
I think that what I need to do is teach her to self soothe after she's had her milk and let her put herself to sleep so she's not being woken by me trying to put her into bed.
How do I do this?? When I put her in awake she'll cry tears and scream until I pick her back up again 😢
Thanks in advance.
I really hope someone can help
