Self settling

[Joeve]

Tasha these nights will happen. Just when you think you have worked out the "thing" that works for bub they will decide that it doesn't work anymore.
You can do it. She needs you.
Whenever things go off course here I try all my whole resettling routine, feed, burp, nappy, feed, rock etc. Then if that doesn't work, I walk with her, watch tv, put her in the pram etc then try the feed, burp, resettle.
The more desperate I became to get her to sleep the less she would some nights. Almost like she sensed it in me.
I know it's hard work.
The thing that works best for me is to try feeding her again. We discovered cluster feeding which sometimes would be 2 plus hours of feeding, dozing and then eventually sleeping... It's hard work but I started to think when in doubt and she's screaming she either had belly pain or she was hungry. Just what works for me....
I hope you are both asleep now....
It does get better, we all keep telling you that but sometimes you will have a shocker of a night. Here I am reading your post and it's 3am and I'm awake with an unsettled bub.
