We seem to be ok with props, she has her dummy but not overly attached to it although occasionally if she sees it on the sofa or something she will pick it up and pop it in. I'm trying to stop that as I only want her to associate it with bedtime. She also babbles more when she hasn't got it in.
Girls I'm with you with that having a cry. The night before las was just so awful when I got back into bed eventually at 3.30am I had a little cry. I don't know why wasn't intentional, I think it was tiredness that just sort of overwhelmed me. I then layed there until 4.30am trying to sleep and was just going off when she woke. My husband took her and tried to get her back off but no such luck. But luckily for me he was off so he let me sleep in that morning.
Last night we had a good night. Bed at 7pm, dreamfeed at 10pm, woke at 2.15am so I fed her and then woe up at 4.30am. I held her and rocked her a little and she went back off but the minute I trid to put her down she started again so I brought her into bed with me. She slept for half an hour before my husband had a go for half hour (unsuccessfully) so I then got up at 5.30am. That wa a good night for us though no nw other than feeds but still the ew.
It's great when you have support laying in etc, its the best part of my week when my husband is off just to get some extra sleep. Although the extra sleep I get that day is what a normal person would get in one night yet I have a whole week to catchup on which obviously just never happens.
I hope everyone else has had a slightly better night, its really good to be able to just vent about my day and have the support there. It is really helping so thank you girls.
