Hi All,
I have just joined the club and I find it really helpful and interesting.
I have babygirl Diana, she is 6 and a half month old (will turn 7 on 17th of October)
My huge concern is her sleeping. We had the sleeping issue since she was born.
She was very colicy baby and we had to settle her everytime after feeding (she was totally breastfed baby). When she was 4 1/2 - 5 months old we started to implement control comforting method (we've been at CNY and it was advised by nurse). It took us 3 weeks to settle her down and the method to work. Finally we did it, but then we had another problem - her first tooth... She was crying all day, waiking up every hour during the night. I had to carry her whole day.
Now she refuses to fall asleep by herself and cries all the time i put her into cot. I don't know what to do. I started to implement the comfort cry method - but I dont know whether it will help. because now she is acting differently - she is crying whe i put her into cot, then she just starts to play and never falls asleep, nomatter how long she is there sad(
I'm very tired as I didn't have proper sleep and time for myself since she was born.
PLEASE help!!!!!!
I don't have any relatives here to help me and my husband works all day. and yes, she still can't sleep though the night - wake up 3-4 times a night since she was born.
for CNY or Torrens House - it takes ages to get there - we were on the waiting list for CNY nurse for 1 and a half month!!!!! and now we are on the waiting list for the day care. I can't wait so long!!
Another issue is that nurse advised us to wrap her tightly when implementing the feed/play/sleep method. but now she is getting older and stronger and unwrapp herself all the time and cant fall asleep because of that. I tried to put her into sleeping bab, but she sucks her fingers, getting all wet and not sleeping.
so my questions are:
how to resettle her again to fall asleep without her being wrapped?
what to do to prevent her suck her fingers when she is in the cot ready to sleep? (she refuses dummy)
how to make her sleep through the night?
Thanks in advance,
Shakhlo (Diana's Mum)
