Please help. I'm desperately trying to get my LO to sleep. We've been trying since 7.45 and it's now 9.18pm...
She only contact naps during the day or in a sling or in the car. I've just had abdominal surgery so sling and car are out for the next month. I feed her to sleep but she just won't let go! The minute i think she's asleep (sometimes after holding her for an hour or more) I unlatch her and she frequently starts rooting for boob and wakes up.
That means she gets short naps during the day. At night i have to side fees and lie next to her for hours before I can crawl away.
This isn't sustainable.
What can I do? Habit stacking doesn't work. Patting her just seems to wake her up. Dummies just wind her up. Lying a hand on her makes her angry. Bouncing/rocking wakes her up.
I feel like we have no routine and no way to get one.
