Thank you! My husband has settled her at night, but never put her to sleep. She breastfeeds before she falls asleep every time. But I try to put her in her bed kind of awake. She had been an independent sleeper and used to not nurse before sleep at all. Then when the reflux got really, really bad she started nursing a lot more. I am sure she is pain free now, but she is really stubborn.
I tried to get her down for her nap this AM. She always nurses before sleep and I popped her off and tried to lay her down. She usually wiggles and all but I can pat her back to sleep. Today she would have none of that. When this happens I usually try to pick her up and resettle her. She just wanted to nurse, so I put her back in her bed. She cried for TWO hours!!!!!! I was in there with her the entire time trying to calm and reassure her. But I didn't pick her up. I tried to pat her back and just speak calmly like I do when I resettle her at night. Well, the frustrated cries turned into a kicking tantrum in her bed. It truly lasted 2 hours and I couldn't take anymore so I finally picked her up. She cried awhile in my arms and then started to fall asleep. I tried to lay her down and she fought like crazy. This happened twice. So I have up. She has had no nap yet today and has been up for 6.5 hours. Did I do something wrong? We don't do pu/pd cause of the reflux. So I just kept trying to resettle in her bed. I don't know what to do.
Also, my husband stayed with her last night and I fed her at her 10:30 waking but not after that. She woke 7 times from 1:30 until 5:30. Is this normal for weaning? She has ALWAYS woken a lot at night.
