Hey,
Me..again
I need some help with DD's sleeping
She sleeps awesome during the night, between feeds, ill feed her, burp her, change nappy, put her down in her cot. She will be still awake but tired, and will go to sleep no protesting..(sometimes i get 5-6 hours between feeds if im lucky some nights)
But my real problem is..during the day time. She wakes, i feed her, change her nappy, have play time with her, i put her in her cot when she shows tired signs, she knows and before she even lays in her cot she is crying full bawl red face and everything.
I at first thought it was because the room was too light, so i got curtains that make the room dark enough, this helps me a tiny bit coz it means she isnt up at 6:30am, she now gets up around 9-10ish (so it gives her one more sleep period).
At first it didnt really bother me, but its bothering me now because she now gets cranky as all h3ll towards the end of the day, and it means i dont get her into her night sleep pattern til 9/10pm, whereas before id get her into her sleep pattern at 6/7pm.
I have a HAB which is awesome, but i dont want her to get into a habit of sleeping on me, i want to break this habit soon while she is still young.
Ive tried rocking her, walking around with her in my arms, singing, music, baiscally everything, but when i put her in her cot when she is finally asleep, she knows, and is crying and wide awake again..

I just dont get it, why can she do it at night, but during the day she just fights sleep as much as she can..
Yesterday i got so frustrated and left her in her cot crying for 5 mins (she was fed and clean nappy and comfy, swaddled nice and snug) and after 5 mins i picked her up cuddled her til she settled, i put her down and when she started getting grizzly i put her dummy in her mouth and patted her on her chest til she started doing droopy eyelids, and she went to sleep!! I guess this is a way of controlled crying but ive heard controlled crying is only for babies over 6mths, my DD is only 6w. Ive heard 'If it works for you go ahead..' but i would ultimately like to try something different (if at all possible)..i hate hearing her crying

Sorry its kinda long..and probably makes no sense..but any help would be appreciated
