Where does she sleep during the day?
If she's in the lounge, or where there's tv noise etc it might just be too loud & bright.
I was sleeping DS in the lounge room during the day, so his body clock wouldn't stuff up, but I put him back in our room, & he's gone from 10 - 20 minute day sleeps to usually an hour or more.
He's in a porta cot in our room & we just bought him a new cot, so I'm gonna start him sleeping in the new cot in DD2's room through the day to get him used to it, then when he's sleeping better through the night, I'll start putting him in there. I'm leaving him in the porta cot in our room for now though, coz he knows it & is more settled in there.
Janie - I only go out til Jesse starts crying. If he is just sooking I leave him, & I don't time it. If he's sooking for about 5 minutes I go in & try the dummy again. If I have to go in more than 3 or 4 times, I know he's not going to settle himself, thats when I go pick him up & rock til he settles, then put him down. If he starts crying then - very rare - I will rock/walk him to sleep.If that doesn't work then as a last resort I might feed him.
Is that considered control crying?? I never let him actually cry, just winge.
Sorry to hijack, hopefully I'm clearing this up for everyone. I haven't read about it yet.
