I'm doing a lot of posting about my 8.5 month old at the moment! This one is more of a future worry, but I wonder if anyone has any advice.
She currently naps in a bouncy chair and I have no other reliable way of getting her off, but she's not going to fit in the damn thing much longer and I'm not sure where we go from here. I'm currently working on not feeding her to sleep at night, which is going slowly and isn't much fun (I was happy enough doing it, but it was becoming impossible to get her into cot without waking her, so we had to start working on settling her in-cot.) Sling and pushchair don't work anymore - she's too interested in what's happening around her. She's never taken a dummy and rocking/cuddling/singing seems to just signal playtime. At night I mostly feed her then, if she wakes up, sit with hand on her chest till she goes off. It can take up to half an hour.
I don't want to get into half hour battles for every daytime nap but not sure how long the bouncer will last us! Anyone been through similar and found a good alternative? We're very much in a transition phase sleep-wise, and I feel like I'm starting to find my way through, but it's a bit of a bumpy ride!
