Driving me up the wall and down the other

side.

I am at my wits end....

Rhiannon is sleeping well through the day, 3 naps a day...has her last bottle at 6.30pm because she is so tired...then she gets her second wind after the bottle and she wont go down...leads to us having an extremely overtired baby...who at present is screaming her head off in her cot..but wont go to sleep

I dont know what to do

Hugs Kaz - I was going to say the same as Robyn sorry. Hope this phase doesnt last too long for you.

man i did this big post last night and then ob crashed on me...grrrr


anyway the gist of it was that rhiannon finally feel asleep about 9.30pm last night...after i went in and rubbed her tummy for 5 mins, i didnt look at her or talk to her....she rolled onto her stomach and went to sleep and i sat on the floor and cried.

she woke up 4 times last night....not sure what im doing wrong, but it has to be something.

will see how today goes

Hey Kazzle,
I have been going through a bit of this myself recently, it throws me for a loop as I am totally used to my night time routine! The basis of Olivia's I am afraid to say is wind and teething. Last night I got her up (she had cried herself to sleep after 10 mins then woke up 25 mins later - going psycho) and winded her again, fed her some more then gave her bonjela and pamol and put her back to bed. Pretty much re-doing her whole night time routine (with the added extra of drugs). She bukuk'd again an hour later but settled pretty quickly. Olivia has been teething solidly for the last 2 months and it is unfortunate to say but all she really wants on the UBER sore days is huggles forever. I'm a mean mummy and draw the line at the point where I am just SO shagged and have to go to bed myself.
Hope it gets better hun

I was going to say the same as everyone else .. could be teeth?

Is there a way you can MAKE yourself sit down during the day (just read a book / TV or whatever) so you are having a rest while she's having a decent sleep, then the night time stuff might be a little easier?

Hope things improve for you soon!

What time are her naps and how long are they? What time is her usual bed time? I dropped Jacks last sleep around that age. At the time it seemed like he wouldn't be able to last until bed time but he did with an extra snack.

My girls got their first two teeth at 8 months too but fortunately aren't too bad with teething (until the molars...)

Does she have a cuddly toy or blanket for sleep? It might help the sleep routine and eliminate any separation anxiety (but it doesn't sound primarily that).
