    Unhappy Could she be scared?

    Since we have moved inot our new house...nearly 3-4 weeks ago now..Chelsea has been waking around 1-130am every day... ocassionally she will sleep right thru til 8-830am tho.

    Could she be sleeping ok but then wake up scared? Cos when i put her dummy back in, she is fine for 5-10 mins then starts screaming again... so end up puttin her into our bed then she is fine!!

    She isnt cold or hungry....al i can think of is maybe scared...and if this is the case... how do i help her? Like how do i calm her and let her know we are still here, but not in the room next to hers anymore. We are at opposite ends of the house.

    Do you have a night light on for her? I found Nina went through this at around 6 months, and a girlfriend suggested putting on a night light, and it made a huge difference. Also, does she have music? This has helped Nina with her sleeping as well.
    It could also be her getting used to a new room.

    I would encourage for you both to spend some time in her room throughout the day, playing dancing e.t.c so she feels comfortable and safe in her own room. I would also encourage having a security item such as a blanket or toy that you know she would recognise. I was going to mention a night light but the other girls beat me to it! lol!
