well i tried to get her down earlier but no such luck, bathed her early and gave her a bottle at about 8.30pm, but she just wouldn't settle, i am beginning to think maybe she 'needs' to breast feed in order to settle at night, the bottle just didnt seem to do it. so anyways out of desperation i breast fed her at about 10.30pm and she seemed to be dozing but fitfully, like squirming and waking up, so i took her into bed with me which was such a bad mistake, i barely slept all night as i had to hold her and she kept squirming.... next time i will persevere with getting her down in her own bed as last night was a nightmare, am so tired today so plan on laying on the couch with her and having a nap. the house is a pig sty but i just cannot be bothered to fix it.

oh and she woke at about 3am last night so it wasn't a great sleep as if she is fed at 10.30pm she usually sleeps until at least 4.30am. i keep telling myself it wont be like this forever..... i hope not anyway!

today she slept for about 45 minutes in her hammock, then woke and i had to resettle her in my arms (lots of squirming) then i put her down in her hammock again, she just woke up but i stuck a dummy in and fingers crossed she has gone back to sleep which would be a miracle!

she seems to wake between sleep cycles and i have to resettle her each time, i wonder if she will learn just to go back to sleep if she wakes.
