Hi, gosh it's been a while since
i've been here ... really missed it but no chance since I had my daughter 3 months ago. she came 6 weeks early and as she was in hospital for 3 weeks i tried to make up for our lost time together by holding her a lot and then letting her sleep in a papoose on me most of the time. of course she is no longer 4 pounds and my back is breaking + i now need my space .... 3 months of baby on me has taken its toll!! my hubby and i have been trying to put her down in her crib but no chance, she wakes up in 5 minutes and then we have to start all over again. Any tips on tackling this? do we wait till she nods off and put her down, pick her up whe she cries and put her down again etc. or is it better to go for the crying out method ... let her cry a bit more everyday and eventually she'll settle herself. Heard of both these methods but can anyone who has gone through this weaning give me a bit more detail on how to go about it. good to be back on mumsnet and pls don't think i'm rude if i don't reply immediately as baby is most likely the reason any help would be much appreciated.
