DD2 is now 4w and we've been loosely following a routine as much as possible given doctor visits etc. we have also had to contend with DD1's energy and lack of 'inside voice'
. This means on some days naps are shortened or A times are too long and then we have a diasaster at night. For 3 days in a row, DD2 has had a hard time settling for bed. No matter what time I eventually get her to sleep, she keeps waking every 20 - 30mins (or less) after I lay her down and this goes on for 3 hrs before she finally really sleeps. Sometimes it appears to be gas, but I cant get her to burp, and she is only soothed by eating more (she is ebf) so it's a vicious cycle. I have tried using a soother but she refuses to take it. Then I never know how to start the next day after the short night. Our EASY for the past 2days is below. Help pls!
