Sep anxiety? and sleep? (or lack thereof!)

[Leemar]

Hey Pregpan,

Just wondering have you tried to give him like a cloth nappy or something to hold on to?

Jordan use to and Olivia does go to sleep holding a cloth nappy.

Great tip Leeanne - will try something like that....

Pregpan I was about to suggest a similar thing. E has this little soft toy (Mamas and Papas little Pip) and she just likes to hold and pat it while she is going off to sleep. I've noticed she settles better and less complaining when Mummy leaves the room!

Maybe it's also a stage...our little boy is 11 months and he sounds identical.

He appears fast asleep but as soon as DH or I try to leave the room, he sits upright and cries!

Hi pregpan
Im still up once a night with Sam - although its a quick breastfeed and back into bed.

Although...... she was waking a few times a night a few months ago - so i introduced a dummy and miffy - a stuffed toy - miffy sleeps in the cot with her- (some mornings i go in and she has her face buried in his !!!) and the dummy has been fantastic. I do have to get up every now and then to pop it back in, some nights i dont do it at all, other nights its maybe twice.......... Last night she slept from 730pm - 6:15am - quick feed, then up again at 8am - a fantastic night. I hope you get some relief........

yeah, like the others have offered, Leila sleeps with her sheets firmly fixed in her hand and sucks on the tip of them for comfort as she goes to sleep, then when she rouses, instead of looking for us she reaches out for the blanket IYKWIM?
