When babies are that young then baby osteopathy can be done. Maybe there's some birth trauma in her spine that's making her uncomfortable - can happen even when you feel the birth was fine. That birth canal can't be easy.

PLEASE don't take this as a criticism, but for something to work you need to stick with it for AT LEAST a week. Then when it gets tough keep with it - if it worked once it will again. Also you need to expect a baby to not want to sleep when you do. Have you tried co-sleeping? That is great for regulating the daily rhythm in a baby. DS may have been awake at night but he always wants to go straight back to sleep at night. Whether he does or not is a different matter; sometimes the pain won't let him sleep (teething for us atm).

As well, she's sleeping at night. The whole "babies need 20 hours sleep" I think is a myth. Babies seem to either sleep well at night or well in the day, very few do both. I know it's hard, but at least you get a night sleep. I know that's not very kind of me but seeing your little angel asleep at 11am when you've been up walking the floors with a teether all night is NOT fun. Given time your baby will start to sleep in the day, just as others will sleep at night.

Will she play on a playmat on her own for ten minutes just for your sanity? I managed to get DS to play on his own for a good half-hour at that age if I sat with him and as he played just bat toys back to him and read my book or chat to a friend.

Oh yes, I'd also be out walking for up to an hour with DS sometimes before he fell asleep. It's great for your figure!

Any other ideas? Does she have a snuggly toy? I forgot to give DS his today, it's in my handbag and he needs a sleep at nursery. Hope he'll do that for them! DS didn't take to his until he was a year old, but it has been in his cot with him from about 1m old.

Oh yes, can any of your friends or family take her out in the pram for an hour while you rest? You don't need to do it all alone if there's an alternative.

Hope something in this ramble works! Even if it's just that it's a phase and will pass, plenty of people have babies who won't sleep during the day - one of my baby buddies had one JUST the same, slept through the night but not the day from 2 months or so. You're not doing anything wrong, just your baby can't read so doesn't know what all the books are saying she should do yet.
