Sorry here I go having a moan again. Was on last week about trying sleep training with my 6 and a half month old and some of you were kind enough to share your thoughts. As it happens was doing softly, softly approach, picking her up as needed to be reassured that she wasnt in pain, etc. Was also feeding her once or twice a night so knew it might not kick in very easily. However, other night she screamed blue murder after having being picked up a few times and so I caved and brought her into bed. Bizarelly the night after that she only woke once, bliss. But has now gone back last few nights to waking more and more and not letting me put her back down at all so that I ended up propped up on pillows trying to sleep at about 5 this morning!!!! This has now been going on for last 4 or 5 months (first few months were okay). We dont know if shes sore (she is on medication for reflux and is better in day) or has wind or sore tummy or what or is just bloody pissed that we dare to put her down sometimes. Please share any experiences of these very unsettled babies who eventually settled as need to feel there is hope!!! Am due back to work in January and I am so worried about it as dont know how we'll cope if its still the same. Also DD1 suffering from having very grumpy, pissed off parents. Please help!!!!
