This may seem strange, but sometimes at night when DD gets to the point of exhaustion and I'm trying to settle her to sleep she seems to get confused with what she wants, acting like she wants to feed. I know that she isn't hungary as I've usually just fed her and can tell that she is so tired but she just won't settle with me. I pass her to DH and within minutes she is asleep. I am wondering whether she gets confused with me as she can smell the milk and because she is so tired and doesn't know what she wants she just screams. Once passed to DH she can't smell milk anymore so she knows to go to sleep. Is this possible? If this is the case what can I do to help settle her? I am worried about this as DH goes back to work this weekend and he is a shift worker so won't be home some nights (night time is when this seems to happen) so won't be here to pass her to. How can I settle her. DH suggested maybe I put one of his t-shirts on and see if that masks the smell but I don't know. She just gets so distressed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
