My almost 8 month old is having a bit of trouble sleeping. When she was born - she would only sleep on my pregnancy pillow and I spent months trying to get her into her Moses/snuzpod which eventually worked but she still didn’t sleep for very long.
She’s been in her own room and cot since 6 months. She started sleeping really well from
about 6 and a bit months (19.30 till 06.00) but has for the last couple of weeks or so started to play up during nap time and at bedtime - she acts tired but then will become playful and roll about in her cot as soon as you put her down and then eventually will start crying. No amount of settling/soothing/feeding/comforters/blankets stroked against her cheek will get her to sleep.
I tried her on the pregnancy pillow for the first time yesterday as a very last resort and she was out like a light! I’m
not keen to use this method at all as the Lullaby trust doesn’t recommend sleep pods but it seems to be the only thing that gets her to sleep - we tried a sleepyhead when she was younger but she hated it.
I’m wondering if there are any sleep pods/something to use 6 months plus? Any advice or recommendations would be great.
