Hello
My LO is a love. She's 8 and a half months old and (when she's not ill) she will sleep thru about 5 nights of the week 7-7. The other 2 nights she'll need a little settling but not feeding (at the moment she's recovering from 2 nasty bugs, so we've been giving her a little milk at night to help keep her nutrition up - lots of throwing up). I've recently gone back to work and while I'm there (for most of the time) she's at the child minders. While she's there her routine is completely thrown: sometimes she'll nap, sometimes she won't and when she does it's often in a pushchair/the CM's arms or on the floor. For the 4 days of the week that I don't work, she has a strong routine and likes that routine. Only thing is (and I promise I'll soon get to the point
when she naps at home I cuddle her to sleep. At night she goes down awake but if I tried to do that at nap times, she's walking around the cot and won't lie down to sleep... at all! At bedtime she sleeps in a grobag and she's very tired so she doesn't try to get up, she just talks to herself until she falls asleep, but naptime is cuddle time. Am I doing the wrong thing by cuddling her to sleep during the day or is it a case of, if it doesn't inconvenience me and if it's working, keep it that way? Thanks loads xx
