When will my lo go back to sleep after 45 mins. She is 14 weeks old.
I try not to overstimulate her before bedtime. I lay her down in her cot and then iron in her bedroom she goes down like a dream, I leave her when she is drowsey and she knows I have gone, thats fine. 45 mins later she wakes up crying and I go to her, immediately (I have tried letting her cry for 5 mins, no better, she gets so wound up). The sssshhh is fine but not the pat. I resettle her after about 15 mins. She doesn't like to be held, thats fine but the rest of her nap is fitful. She goes down for another 20 mins before her next feed.
Am I doing this right. I have been trying to get her to go to sleep through the 45 mins light stage for the last 6 weeks and seem to be getting nowhere.
Her nightimes are brilliant though.
Any suggestions.
