Hi Haribo, back again
we were doing really well. No hand in the cot and we were almost 2 feet from the cot heading towards the door. The last 3 days we seem to be back at getting super upset again at bedtime and today it happened at her day nap too. I'm always a bit soft on her on a Wednesday as she is tired after 2 days in care (which she sleeps rubbish) but the really clinginess is only when its time to sleep. I haven't noticed her being more than normal during the day.
I know she is a sensitive soul and is very cautious and easily frightened but am really unsure of what more I can do to get me out of the room at night.
We are back averaging between 20-40 mins for her to fall asleep, less gymnastics and more singing at the moment, but I guess that is just the language.
I only shush her now when the singing turns to shouting or if she decides to play long jump in the cot
At the 10 minute mark I am telling her the usual "sleepy time baby, go to sleep" and again at the 20 minute mark if she is still actively playing. If she is just lying quietly moving her arms and legs or softly talking to her lovey then I just stay quiet.
Can you think of anything else or do you think this is just what its going to be for the next wee while?
How is everything going with you? How is DS1 coping with the new addition?
