My daughter likes to sleep, she just doesn't like falling asleep...which has resulted in a very bad behaviour (yes, my fault) but I'd love to hear some experiences / tips from you.
She will not settle herself so I lie her in our big bed and lie down with her. She likes to fall asleep lying on her side, crawles completely into me, so she's almost stuck in me. She likes my arm on her back or legs (she wriggles a lot, due to teething?) and then... and this is really bizarre, likes to stick her fingers in my mouth. This is how she settles and falls asleep (its a 5-15 minute struggle every time).
When she's asleep I can move her to her basket, but its the falling asleep that's a real problem.
I think she's a little small for 'controlled crying' (but happy to hear positive experiences if you ahve any at this age) but am also fearful about the nursery where she is going in 5 weeks and she can't settle herself (daddy is also often not acceptable for madam).
Help?
Any tips?
