Hi and thanks for all that replied to me!
Our routine is something like this:
Wake between 5.30 and 6.00am :shock:
6.00 breakfast and i get ready for work and get Tayla dressed
Arrive daycare at 7.30 am, Tayla is there until 4.00pm
Bath at 5.00pm and a play with mum and dad
Dinner at 6ish
Bedtime usually at 7pm (or if she has woken later than usual i will leave it til 7.30)
She has a bottle before her nap and sleep (but not in the cot) and then she is put into the cot with her dolly. Usually asleep within 10mins. Talks and babbles to herself before drifting off.
She isnt really attached to the doll but i decided to try this out to see if it would help with the night wakings. :?
I leave a night light on in her room (very soft one), so i dont think its that she is afraid of the dark.
She has never slept through since she was born, so i believe she is waking purely from habit.
She does still have a few molars to get though, so possibly this is making it worse. ( i give her nurofen when teething)
She is still in a cot (which i think maybe she has a bad association with, from previous sleep training attempts
) Hope i answered everyones questions!!
Michaela, i am in Willetton. So just around the corner from you. Small world hey....
Thanks
