I hope this makes sense, but I'm extremely sleep deprived.
DD is 7 months, she has never been a fantastic sleeper but this past few nights have been awful. We transitioned her from her chicco next 2 me co sleeper into a cot-bed (still next to our bed) at the worst time - right before she came down with a cold. Not only does she hate her new cot, she's also feeling a bit rough.
To get dd to sleep I usually lay beside her until she's in a light sleep, then transfer her into her co sleeper (or now cot). She wakes up a little then goes back off, sometimes stirring for her dummy which I pop back in. But now for the past two nights, no matter what I do she won't stop crying. I can't seem to comfort or settle her, then when I occasionally do as soon as she's in a light sleep she pulls out her dummy and starts screaming again. She's barely slept in 2 days.
Dh and I decided before she was born we didn't want to do cry it out or cc, but I've been having to leave her to cry and winge for the odd 5 minutes as I don't know what else to do. I feel so guilty and don't know what to do to help her. Dh has also been working nights.
I have given her Calpol and teething gel as she's also teething, and she's been drinking less milk than usual. I just don't know how to help her. My mum said on the phone if I just leave her eventually she will fall asleep, but I hate hearing her cry and she's not feeling well.
Does anyone please have any advice? Thank you so much
