dd has always been difficult to get off to sleep and I'm completely at a loss as to how to deal with it now. She sleeps OK at night, thankfully, but getting her off to sleep can take up to two hours of yelling. We have resorted to rocking her at times, but she wakes when she's put down (like a newborn!), tried pick up put down but she gets really upset when you do the put down bit and ends up in a state, tried cc which actually seemed to work well for a few days but then stopped working and we were back to square one. Tried shh-ing with back to her a la supernanny but that makes her frustrated and 40 mins later she was still not asleep at all and v upset. She is really tired so it's not a timing thing. She goes to sleep with a hand on her tummy but as soon as you take it off she's awake and screaming. It takes 2 hours some nights. It's been 40 mins tonight. Going insane!
