can lo's just develop the ability to self settle as they get older and mature or should i be 'teaching' my 11 week old dd now?
Shes a rubbish daytime napper and needs to be held,rocked,shh'd to sleep and even then you cant put her down or she'll wake. very rarely will she stay asleep for long. I can see shes desperately tired.
I long for the day i can put her down and she'll drift off. Im very tired and emotional today as it feels like this is the way its going to be forever.
Ive just put her down after tihnking she was soundo but her eyes have pinged open and the crying has started. i do use a sling but i would like to teach her to self settle it just seems that though shes way off that yet so is there any point in even trying and getting myself ore worked up and frustrated.
Ive had enough today already and Im bored to hearing about superbabies and supermums!
Thanks all, i feel better already
