hi.
my daughter is 10.5 months old. i had done a lot of accidental parenting, have been doing e.a.s.y and pu/pd method for a week now.
she was scared to go in her cot, would cry as soon as i got to her room, or if she was asleep she would wake after i put her in her cot and scream. i initially had to resort to the method of getting in her cot with her, i did this for the first night and following day.
she is now fine going into her cot, and we are generally getting on track. but this afternoon (and other times sometimes) she is very excited due to a visitor or something similar. she had an hour sleep thismorning (took 1/2hour to get her to sleep) we had our wind down time this afternoon and i put her in her cot as usual. but wow, she was so hyperactive and took me over an hour to get her to sleep. she doesn't cry she just laughs, plays (only if i'm in the room or she will cry) and makes a game of pu/pd. she will quickly throw herself backwards when i go to lie her down - or she will go to other side of cot trying to get away from me (she does this often i think she has forgotten the reason she used to stand up in the first place, for me to pick her up lol. but usually not for so long. she knows i will not take her out of her cot.
1 question: if her next feed is not due til 7pm, do i still wake her up after 1/5 hours after the start of her usual sleep time and then she has only had 1/2 hour sleep?
2 question: do i carry on with the same method iv been doing for the above situation?
3 question: when do i start to try and leave the room? how do i approach this?
thank you
teresa and shakaya
