My DD is 14 weeks and started life appearing to be my best sleeper (she is number 3) - would doze off on your knee and be put down awake at bedtime. She has a dummy and this used to just soothe her off.
We started to do a bedtime routine at about 6 weeks as she consistently conked out around 8pm and slept a good few hours. She was OK at going down but has got worse and worse as the weeks go by.
Every night now she is yawning and rubbing her eyes from her last nap so we try to get her down by 7. She has a brief routine and then a bottle. The crying then starts. She won't be rocked, walked, left, shushed, patted, anything!! White noise doesn't work, nothing shuts her up! She ends up just passing out exhausted.
I can't stand it any more! I just feel like, stop whining that you're tired and then refusing my help!
She isn't colicky and doesn't have reflux. She is the happiest, smily baby all day and then at bedtime I just want to chuck her out the window!
