My 13 week old daughter has had awful colic where she spent her evenings screaming. This resulted in awful AP. She has to be in her sling to fall asleep and has a dummy too. Once I spend over an hour walking around the house she falls asleep and then I keep her in the sling to get her over the 45 minute wake up so at night it takes well over 2 hours to get her in her cot. Same for naps which are always 45 mins or less.
She is starting to come out of the colic I think as the evening crying is much much less so I'm thinking I need to start implementing the BW techniques to help get out of these bad habits and help her chronic over tiredness. I have a couple if questions
-do I start EASY and start sh/pat all in the same day. I have been trying to have a loose routine but nothing consistent.
- do I have to stay in for the week im going to do this? I feel like the EASY routine will mean I will be trapped in the house and getting out has been the only thing that has kept me sane.
- with sh/pat how do I know when to pick up or just do it in the cot. im very scared about starting this as the thought of hours of crying is already killing me.
I have read both books and the sleep interview but I don't really get it hence the questions! Thanks in advance.
