Hello everyone!
It's been a while since my last post "sleeping toddler in parents bed" on that occasion a followed the mattress method or best said the sleeping bag method to get Luna to sleep on her own. After a few sleepless nights this method worked, however I haven't really followed the method until the end ::)The truth is the sleeping bag is still in her room!! due to space (in 2 moves I'm out of the room!)and forever waiting for the big bed to arrive (she sleeps in her cot with the front barrister removed) I haven't managed to remove the SB yet!.
At the moment this is what happens:
After the bath, warm milk and story routine she goes in her cot and I lay in the SB sing her a song and after max 10/15 mins she's asleep, the problem is sometimes so am i!!
(being 13 weeks pg doesn't help me staying awake). Once I manage to wake up a leave ans she will sleep generally until morning with the occasional wakening if she falls or has a bad dream, normally around 4am. However lately this has been around 2am! and then she will come crying to my bed! and lately to get out of bed and lead her back to hers is forever difficult!!
Does this mean I'm back to square one!!!!and basically I have not done it right at all!
Tomorrow, finally her big bed will arrive and yesterday I made a big fuss by taking her out and choosing special Minnie & Winnie sheets so she is really looking forward to her new bed, but me I'm absolutely terrified!!
I don't know what to do, do I carry on with the seeping bag and put up with the occasional awakenings? do I use a chair instead? shall I start w in/wo? At this stage I'm very confused and not too confident that I could handle more sleepless nights & more crying but at the same time I have to do something before the new one arrives!!
Please please some advise will be very grateful!
Thank you!
