Hi All - Happy Mothers Day.
Hoping someone can advise please: My 5 month old DD will not settle for daytime naps in the cot, she never has. The strange thing is, touch wood, she goes down fine in the cot at night time. She still sleeps in our room, and for nap times when I try to settle her in the cot, its the same routine as bedtime: lights out, curtains closed etc, but its like she will not lie there until she knows that she has had her last bottle of the day...
So, she either falls asleep on me or DH (not so comfortable for any of us anymore when she's so big & strong now, and will fight the sleep) or when in maxi cosi if we're out & about.
We have 2 busy (and loud) older boys so its just not realistic to try a different way of settling her downstairs, there are too many disruptions. She'd get a much better sleep upstairs, and I would have peace of mind hearing any stirs from her with having the monitor on.
Has anyone else experienced this, and do you have any tips as to how I can improve this situation?
Thanks...
