Hi Guys

Amelia is the same. Will only be rocked to sleep or cracks it although she has let me put her in the cot but I have to have my hand on her or holding her hand. She has no idea how to self settle which is why I think she doesn't sleep through the night. I'm on auto-pilot when she wakes in the night so I have no idea how often she wakes or even if I feed her. I honestly can't remember most nights but I do remember waking. I too was hoping for a magic wand once she turned 1 or some kind of miracle that she would understand about sleeping through.

Monique went through her separation anxiety phase earlier than Amelia did. We are just playing lots of peek-a-boo and hiding things and finding them again so she kind of understands that even though she can't see me (or the object), I'm still around. She has a cold and teething at the moment so it is worse than usual.

They have to sleep for us one day and I'm so looking forward to that happening.

I don't have any advice sorry. I have tried a couple of things but nothing is going to help her self settle. She too is clingy with me at the moment. I will check back to see what advice you get.
