Sleep question

I remember having this problem with Kobe when he was little and we used to jsut have to leave him to cry. We were on routine feeding so knew he wasnt hungry, I think he just wanted to be held. It was really hard but we made sure he stuck to the rountine. If we did go in to him we wouldnt talk or hold him so he wasnt rewarded for being awake. Hope Sophie gets sorted soon!

Robyn thank you so much for advice....think we will have to try letting her cry, as like you we know she is not hungry. On reflection because of the move, I think we have been jumping at every sound .....oopps (some thing we would not normally do).

Jacobsmama - you are so right with you description of something 'switching' that is exactly what it seems like...now off to search for those threads.....thank you

Hannah is almost 6 months and a few weeks ago started to just cry and cry uncontrollably when I put her to bed at night even tho she was going to sleep during the day no probs. So I ended up holding her until she went to sleep then putting her to bed, which was fine for a while and it was just easier Then she started to wake up as soon as I put her into bed asleep, so I decided I had to get hard again. Last night I put her to bed awake and braced myself for hours of crying... And you know what? She was asleep in a few minutes just like her other day sleeps!! I guess I was just too scared of her crying for hours to give her the chance to do it herself! Anyway, the moral of my novel is maybe try putting her to bed awake when she is getting tired and then just leaving her to it. Hope things are improving for you and you getting more sleep.
