Hello all!
Hazel I was going to ask if you'd tried hungry baby milk but it guessing if DD is on prescription formula then that's a no go??
Have you all considered No Cry Sleep Solutiom? It is not everyone's cupmof tea but it is suitable for babies under 6 mos. I find her very humane and convincing too. Unlike some people Gina Ford she has had 4 babies!
So tonight was randomly a really tough night in terms of settling. She just. Was. Not. Going. To. Sleep. 1.5 hours! That said, I dealt with it a lot better than I did last time we had such a bad night. And she did fall asleep eventually in her cot without feeding.
We started doing the NCSS settling method about 10 days ago and I would say 7-8 of those days have been very easy to settle her, and only two nights really tough.
Night wakings though.....gah!! We are trying feeding whenever she cries but delatching from nipple before she sleeps and popping her back in sidecar cot. It's really hard to tell what success we're having so far, but I think that although she is getting up the same amount of times she is perhaps going down easier on her own. Difficult to tell at 3am when you've completely lost track of how many billion wake ups there have been :(
So tomorrow we are going to drive to Yorkshire to spend 8 days with DPIL and then DM.
so basically a 8 hour drive from where we are, on zilcho sleep,probably, to 2 new environments. I increasingly feel we are insane! She has never spent a night outside home before. What were we thinking??? But too late now, car packed!!
