I am looking for some much needed advice. My daughter just turned 4 months and we are having a lot of sleep issues.
For the last two weeks I have tried the EASY program and getting my daughter on a better sleep routine. She has very short naps during the day(2 to 3 for about 1 hour each). Sometimes she will fall asleep in her crib without any problems but other times the only way to get her to sleep is to rock her. Also often she will wake up screaming and when I hold her she will fall back asleep.If I put her down again she wakes up and then I have to pick her up again.(This has gone on for hours)
At night we have tried to create a routine with her bath, bottle and bed at seven. She wakes up at about nine and our evening sometimes goes until 1 am. She will scream for a good two hours and she will not take a bottle and you know she is tired because she is rubbing her eyes and grabbing at her face. The only way to get her to sleep is to walk around with her or rock her, and often this does not work. Once she falls asleep which is in bed with my husband and I(she sleeps in the middle of the nursing pillow between us) she will usually wake up at 3 am for a feed, and then go back to sleep until 6am, then feed and usually sleep until 9am.
My husband and I are just very concerned and not sure if we will ever have our evenings back. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
