    Thanks everyone!! Yep, we wrap her. She seems to sleep fine at night in the basinette, not too many dramas. Hmm......no, we don't really have any kind of routine going on yet, I just do what she wants so far, lol.
    Hmm......so as soon as I write this then she sleeps more today, lol. Only in the hug-a-bub though. She woke up at 9am, slept from 12-2.30, then awake until 4, and she's been asleep in the hug-a-bub again since then. Maybe she was just having a cranky couple of days. This hug-a-bub is worth its weight in gold though!

    Our day varies from day to day but I usually quickly try to resettle her once I see her stirring. Just to get in before she gets too awake.

    Yay! She has been asleep for the last 2hrs in her basinette. I have worked out her sleep cycles are about 45mins and have patted her back to sleep twice!!!! So pleased! Thanks girls.

    I forgot to mention in the book I am reading it said that babies around her age sleep cycles are 40-45min so if you hear them stirring dont think you have to go and get them they often need to just drift off to sleep land again. Great to hear that she is being a sleeping beauty for you!!

    One thing I remember when DS was tiny, that I had to force myself to put him down after about 20 min or so of "play time" and get him to sleep, rather than wait for the tired signs, which never came, and if I left it too long he would get too tired and not be able to get to sleep. Does that make sense

    But I am glad DD is sleeping a bit better today. xo
