Help!!!!!!
My 14 wk old DD is a cat napper in the day only having 20/30 minutes at a time.
We have a routine (which I wish we hadn't gotten into!) whereby when I see the tired cues I take her into the bedroom sit on the bed with her in my arms, give her the dummy (which she generally always takes), rock her a little, wait for her to get a bit more sleepy then put her in her Moses basket.
This generally always works until now!
Now when I put her in her Moses basket she's wide-eyes, spits the dummy out, is all smiles (?!?!?!) and kicking about (like she would on her play mat).
How the hell do I manage her that?????
I have tried a bit of controlled crying ("bit" being the operative word!) whereby I go in every few minutes, put my hand in her chest, shhhh her then leave the room. I usually end up giving in or I think there's a genuine reason, ie teething pain.
All I know is I have one very tired very demanding little baba who thinks she holds the cards (which of course she does!!!) but mummy needs to.
Any help/advice please????
