Toomany- Yeah, I am BF. That part is an excerpt from the book. I would love if she slept all night without a feed but that's not going to happen, LOL. I'm cutting it down to 2 feeds though for now and then hopefully only 1 later.
Night 3: Not a great night sleep but something GREAT did happen!!
-firstly rocked to sleep, then realised I hadn't fed the poor thing lol so did what we usually do and fed her when she was sleepy, tried to stop her going to sleep feeding but couldn't so put her in her cot after a feed and amazingly she didn't wake up straight away.
-Woke 1/2hr later at 8.30pm
-DH got up to rock her - 8 attempts at putting her down and her screaming as soon as he even started to lower her in.
-My turn- 4 attempts then on the 5th one I was fed up, put her in and didn't pick her straight back up when she cried, for some reason decided to roll her on her side and pat her bum and she went from screaming to STRAIGHT TO SLEEP!! DH and I were stunned. I know other ppl can get their babies to sleep this way but DD NEVER EVER has!! So finally she's asleep at 10pm.
-10 mins later I hear her wake up, ****! She rolls onto her back kicks her legs a lot, gets her arm out of her wrap, grabs her teddy and rolls over and GOES BACK TO SLEEP ON HER OWN!! DH and I now are in amazement and can't go to sleep
-She then woke at 11.30, had a feed and got put back in bed.
-Woke at 1.30am and rocked back to sleep. Finally back in her cot by 2am.
-Wakes AGAIN at 3 am and I feed her and fall asleep and she stays in bed with us until she wakes at 5.45am.
