First off thanks in advance for taking the time to even read this!!!
So I am at my whits end with my little one. WE are coming up to 10 days of sleep retraining, and its not going good!
A few factors:
- I am pretty sure she has over the past two weeks started really bad separation anxiety
- I am drying up so I stopped breastfeeding, I have been weaning her for a while, this week we got rid of the night time breastfeed at 2/4AM and she is getting formula
Here is what her day looks like
6.20A - Eat
6:45A - Leave for Day care
During Day Care she has 3 SHORT naps through out the day and gets 3 - 5OZ bottles of formula, she also gets solids twice during her time there.
5:50P - Pick up from day care, sometimes she takes a nap during the 25 minute drive
7:00P - 2OZ of solids while we eat dinner
7:45P - Bath
8/830P - Story and bottle as she winds down for sleep
8:30/9 - places in crib awake, Pat - shh routine as she drifts off...we leave er slightly awake, she fusses for about 10 minutes then eventually falls asleep.
11P - Fusses for about 10/15 we let her sooth herself back to sleep
1230/1A - Fusses we go in pat her and it sames she gets even more upset
230/3A - Fusses we go in and offer a bottle, takes the bottle but still upset, cries for about 20 minutes before drifting off
6:00 - Awake and want to play
This morning we were so frustrated that my husband brought her in the bed. But she still cries, I think its because of us removing that breastfeed from her. I even slept in another room
so she did not smell me and she still screamed. I am sure this will end at some point but I just want to know how long this will go on for. My husband and I both have to get up pearly for work and this is really wearing on us.
THANKS
