DD is 17 weeks. I’m hoping it’s 4 month regression, so understand TIME is probably the answer.
But I’m drained, and want to know if anyone has any suggestions to help improve / establish naps?
To get DD to sleep she is usually rocked or in the pram. But this can take anywhere between 5-90minutes. 9/10 she will cave and go to sleep. But when I place her down, or stop pushing she wakes up. Or on the occasion I get her down without waking she will wake after 30minutes.
I usually rock her in a dark room, with white noise.
I know she is probably use to the motion now to get to sleep, and I don’t mind this, even though it’s breaking my arms / back. That self settling will come with time. But its the not being put down or transitioning into the next sleep cycle (assume if she could self settle she would be able to complete this transition). I can’t use a carrier on advice from the physio, as I have pins and plates in my collar bones, and I can’t hold her for long periods of time. (Hence why I’m trying to put her down).
When she wakes she is still clearly tired, and spends a lot of time rubbing her eyes, frustrated, and crying.
I just want to help us both. So any advice would be appreciated.
