Thanks PZ, my DD pretty much yawns not long after eating latley, she seems to only give that sign. If I let it go longer she just cries. I dont get rubbing eyes or ears or anything. My DD is pretty hard to guage becuase she will do a tiny sign, and then go full scale crying, there is not many body language signs in between.
During the day is the only time she seems to have issue, Night times seem ok, she slept from 12 - 6:30 am last night in her cot. It's just her days. They are really really hard atm.
Lollipigs- firstly Congrats on your little girl! beautiful name
I would move all sleeps to the cot, I did this with Annabel and she started sleeping much better, particularly if your little Lily rolls its time to move her from the bassinette. If you dont want to try cosleeping, try to fit the cot in your room, as she may settle better knowing you are there iykwim. When she gets a bit older ie, 4months old or so she will start to recognise her sleep cues, ie, putting her in her sleeping bag or wrap with the zip. Yawning and rubbing eyes are the usual tired signs we get here, If I miss them Annabel is so hard to settle. We have a swing that helps us settle her, they are great. Also if nothing else works I do settle her with a BF. If you want to talk just pm me When my 2 older girls are at school and preschool happy to meetup with you!
Is it a waste of time to try and continue to do the self settling at this age? Should I be more comforting her to sleep now and worrying about it at 3-4 months?
It dosnt really seem to be working for My DD, she just cries.
If we put her down in there now she just seems to cry.
