Thanks for the hugs.

Yes that does make sense, I think I just wanted everyone to get some sleep but as you say she didn't like it when she realised that I'd put her down and that's why she kept waking up. This mornings nap was pretty tough but she settled in her cot eventually so I'll continue that this afternoon and tonight. Wish me luck! I'm determined to sort it out!

Hi

I thought that the night before last was going to be another tough one and that we'd have a battle keeping her in her cot but she slept 11 hours straight! And then last night she slept all the way through, 6.30pm to 6am!! I cant believe it. I just hope it lasts! Thanks for all your help

Hi Bellymonster
I joined your thread about a month or so ago to say my DD also would not sleep through.  However she too has managed to now but just did it all in her own time.  She doesn't look to be fed now if she wakes which is great.  Just thought I would post as you mentioned teething.  DD has had an awful time teething and has really disrupted her night sleeps, sometimes awake within an hour of going to bed.  This is despite calpol, teething powders and gel (although she is a touchy so does experience everything worse).  This had been going on a couple of weeks until her first 2 teeth popped through 2 days ago and hey presto, her sleeping has gone back to being great.  I really think for her there is a reason for her wakening and once she is well again it improves.  Hope you still having success!

gosh im feeling exactly the same lily - I always thought that the NWs were routine related but it makes no difference whether its a perfect routine or a bad one my bub still wakes at least 3 times at night!! ...and I feed cos I just never know whether its true hunger or not...

Hi everyone

I started with the dreamfeed, we dropped that one first, just cold turkey. She woke at the usual 9.30/10pm and it took an hour to get her back to sleep just doing pu/pd and settling her in her cot but after that night that she slept through the usual 9.30/10pm wake up, it was great! She was still waking at around 2am for a feed though and I kept feeding her for three nights after dropping the dreamfeed.

We then tackled the 2am wake up and went cold turkey with that one too. She was fine but it took a while until she finally stopped waking in the night. Now we've got problems with the horrendous 5.30am wake up for the day, its just WAY too early!! At least she sleeps through until then so I can't really complain.
