Hi all,
I am a first time mum to 4 month old little girl. Napping has always been tricky with my little one, she would only nap in a sling to start with and now will only nap if I hold her. Her night sleep was good up until 2 weeks ago with only one waking but now she's up between 3 and 4 times a night. I'm blaming the 4th leap! At night I rock her to sleep or feed her to sleep which I know has to stop as she needs to learn to self settle.
I want to get started with PUPD as something has to change. My husband is on board to help too. I have few questions before we start.
1. Should I tackle both nap times and bedtime/night wakings at the same time?
2. She is really stubborn and I can see her refusing to go to sleep in her basket for naps with PUPD and we will spend the whole nap time trying to get her to fall asleep. If she misses a nap and it's time to feed again do I try to get her asleep straight after that feed or wait till the next nap time as per the schedule? I'm really worried she is going to not nap at all.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
