Hi
My LO is 6.5 months and still yet to soundly sleep thru. I've just a random question about her 'wakenings'. Regardless of when she cries during the night, when I go into her her eyes are always closed and usually putting her dummy in just lets her drift back off with no problems. Some nights she'll cry quite hard, again will have her eyes shut, but seems to be adopting a crawling position/attempt (is in a sleeping bag) but again will settle with dummy but occasionally if not have to flip her onto her back and put dummy in and she's fine, rarely seems to wake up properly.
Question is, have I created a prop? Is she having night terrors/just dreaming? What's going on? I know in comparison to some peoples night wakenings (ie, still having to do night feeds) I seem to have it easy, but just not sure what's going on with her? Sometimes she'll give out a yelpy cry/shriek but if I don't rush in, she's stopped as quickly as she started. I try not to rush in straight away, to allow her to self settle, but worry if I leave her to cry she'll eventually wake herself up properly as well as her big brother!?!? She's able to pick up her own dummy and pop it in her mouth and also has 3 scattered around in her cot to grab, should she choose to.........
Any advice would be appreciated 😀
