O M G !!!
I have been wondering that exact same thing lately!!!! DD has always been a great sleeper - yes she would wake up at night, but I would pop in the dummy and say night-night honey and she is off again.
NOW she is fighting me the whole way!! She does not want to lay down, be picked up, be rocked nothing, she cries and fusses and purse her lips and blow like a little bullfrog must say that is very sweet She wakes up in the middle of the night and sits up in her cot and just bawl. If I put her down, she turns over and on her hands and knees just rock back and fro and cry and fumes. At the moment giving her some milk helps (did try the water, not so good) and I know that it MIGHT not be the right thing to do, but HECK I AM NOT GETTING SLEEP. So I not waking her up for her 11pm feed, just let her sleep and give her milk when she wakes up - that is working the past two nights, but is it going to work tonight ........... ??
I can't do the control crying thing - my heart and ears just won't allow it, but I did try once - but I am a weak, weak person!!!
I am going to have a serious hart-to-hart with God one day and ask him WHY he did not supply a manual and a pressure relieve valve with new-born bubba's!!!! *and a fuel indicator and a shut-off switch*
