Hello to all mums!
I'm brand spanking new to this forum so sorry if anything in my post has already been covered before.....
I have a gorgeous 3 month old baby whose causing me some sleep issues and I wonder if anyone has experienced the same or can offer me any advice??
My baby normally goes to bed around 8pm and (usually) sleeps for around 6-7 hours before waking for her feed. (I know this is really good for such a young baby and I'm not complaining) I give her a feed while she is already half asleep, she's bottle fed since being 2 months. She falls back to sleep fully while I'm winding her. I put her back in her cot and she's ok for a couple of minutes but then she starts pulling at her ears which wakes her up and she starts to cry. When I pick her up to calm her down she falls straight back to sleep on me, but again when I put her down she does the same. The only way she will sleep then is in bed with me on my chest which results in broken sleep for me all the way till 7am which is when she likes to get up! she sleeps fine during the day downstairs in her moses basket, even falling asleep on her own when I put her down awake. I've tried putting her to bed later but she woken up earlier!!
As I said I know a 7 hour stretch at this age is massive but I can't start getting up to start the day at 3.30am!!
Sorry for the massive essay but any help or advice is much appreciated!!
