Oh Anna honey I know how you feel!! Luckily for me however, Punky has finally started to get some sleep during the day... well usually, had a bit of a crap evening here tonight as I had her up while I made dinner - mistake!!

What I found really started to make a difference with Punky was (thanks to Barb for this advice) to put her to bed AS SOON AS SHE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEING TIRED, if I missed that teeny window then I had no chance of getting her down. When I say 'put to bed' mind you, it was more 'wrap, rock, jiggle, whatever it takes' but the last few days to a week I've been able to put her down drowsy & leave her & she goes to sleep or even if she's grumpy pat her when she is in her cot & she'll go to sleep, mega break through believe me, I thought I'd be rocking her to sleep when she was 21!!

The other thing too I find is is she doesn't seem like she is going to go to sleep but she's well due I'll offer her some more to eat, 9 times out of 10 she is just a bit too hungry to go to sleep.

I know you've got much more Mummy experience than me sweets but I hope this helps a little bit, but if not, know that I have totally been there & DO NOT feel bad about being tired & frustrated, you are ony human! *hugs*
