Sleeping Standing Up!
« on: October 30, 2005, 00:35:24 am »
hi. me again. My Post was: Does it ever NOT work.

ok. i am persevering and it is slowly working. but....

she falls asleep standing up! i go in and lay her down, this time she stayed down.

help!

or do i just leave it and hope she will eventually lay down to go to sleep?

its like she goes to sleep standing so i will come back in to lay her down to sleep. so its like i am still there???

help!

Looked through a couple of books but can't see anything about this.
Maybe she gets so tired that she doesn't have enough energy to lay down..

If you left her standing,would she fall and hurt herself.I can't see her having a long nap becasue surely her legs would get tired and she'd wake.?That could be completely wrong BTW

I'm sorry I haven't got any answers for you,but I'll keep looking

hi. thanks for the replies.

yes she has also been sleeping sitting up. she sits in the middle of the cot and just wobbles a bit.

i thought i would leave it for a bit and see what she does.

she knows how to lay down, when i come in the room and she is still awake she will sometimes lay down.

i think she wont lay down because she is stubborn! she doesn't want to go to sleep when i am not in the room, so she stands or sits, so when i check on her she can wake. which she does, she just dozes if standing.. but goes a bit deeper when sitting but still not a proper sleep. a couple of times she has lain down herself... but...

last night she grizzled when she woke so i left her and she went quiet. that was at midnight... i woke at 3am (when she used to wake) and i checked on her... she was sitting! was a bit worried she had been like that since midnight.... so i lay her down, she woke then grizzled.

i left and didn't check her again until 6.30am. she was lying down with her legs through the bars, i put a blanket on her and she woke 15min later.

and today (fourth day) i have been trying to get her to sleep all day! it is now 2pm. she has had a 20min nap after she gave up for being soo tired.

she has been grizzling (but not crying) for the last 1/2hour or so. i don't want to go in and set her off!

what is the longest it has taken? i gave in too early last time, and i don't want to undo my work. but i need to go shopping, shall i just go and let her sleep in the car and try again tonight? and she is getting her first meningicoccal b vaccine on friday and i want her definately to be happy and rested then!

any advice would be great!
