3.30am and im sitting here with dd in my arms. she wouldnt settle in bed , we co-sleep, so here we are. sitting in the dark. shes asleep, but if i put her down she will wake.
i think its pretty normal, my sling helps me in the day, and i got one of those baby rockers, which is the best money ive spent in a looooong time. she will sleep for hours in the. and i can put her in awake and she will go to sllep. great to give me time with dd1.
also i have one of the big balls, like a birthing ball. and i bounce on the with her and shes asleep in ten minutes, saves me walking up and down the house all day/night.

mine tend to settle a bit once they get used to being out.

i do alot of reading with dd1 while im trying to get dd2 to sleep. hugs
