The thing with DD, if I try and put her down before she is ready, she isn't happy, and will tell you!!! I'm fairly quick with catching the tired signs, then it's a quick wrap, quick cuddle and then down when eyes are closed, but not asleep (cause if they are still open, she sees me and it's game over!). The whole process doesn't usually take more than 5 minutes. It's just the re-settling. She just doesn't, without help from me.
Sorry Pink Lilly I lost your PM and haven't had a chance to respond.
With the 40min sleeps is she happy in between? How long is she sleeping for at night? Are you getting at least one decent block? I know some babies which sleep all night and only have short sleeps during the day and have now extended them themselves. If she is happy I would go with it, so not worth the angst. If she isn't which I imagine that's why you are writing here keep persisting, it may take a while.
Basically just keep trying the resettling at 30mins, even pick her up. As someone said you can only try it if it doesnt work you know then. I try to resettle but it doesn't always work, if he is wide awake I don't even try. I have found if I get to him before he makes a cry he goes back to sleep. That is where my baby monitor is good - if it clicks on a few times and no sound I go and check on him as he is usually stirring. I have been able to extend him this way a few times. Few quick pats and dummy back in.
